Are we there, yet?
Kind of ironic that a cold winter storm has the name of a god of fire and volcanoes that generate so much heat. Weather forecaster humor, huh?
Somehow Vivian just doesn't carry the same impact.

Re: the storm: I just can't even anymore.
Re: the name: I'm resistant to change and I think it's stupid that The Weather Channel has taken it upon itself to start naming winter storms.
I'm definitely using the snow as my Boston excuse. I would be a lot faster if I had more time to train outdoors etc. At least my non-running friends will buy it.
For this storm, my area is looking at 3 inches max, but a lot of rain. I have a 10 miler planned for tomorrow night but windchill is expected to be below 10. I can dress for that but ice during rush hour will have to see. Otherwise indoors it is.

That's funny. That's my excuse as well. If I did real running outdoors, I'd be faster too!

As part of the 2024 London Marathon, I am fundraising for VICTA, a charity that helps blind and visually impaired children. My mentor while in law school, Jim K (a blind attorney), has been a huge inspiration and an example of courage and perseverance. Please consider donating.

In about 3 months, we'll be starting the summer litany. Runners are happy with the weather for about 16 days out of any normal year.
Sounds about right.
Short term goal: 17:59 5K

Long term goal: To say I've been a runner half my life. (I started running at age 45).
