1. Freezeroo Race #4 The Hearne-ish 10k (Saturday, January 27): this is the fourth in a series of six races, and, were I to run it, the third I would complete this season. The closer Saturday gets the less likely I will be at the run. My stepson has a swim meet and (more to the point) my son has a sledding party for school that I was unaware of until yesterday... about three months after registering for the series. At least my not showing up will not mean my having wasted money on an unrequited entry fee. Because I signed up for the race series, the cost was nominal and goes toward "the good of the order" anyway.
2. The Lake Effect Snowshoe Festival (Sunday, January 28): This would be my second snowshoe race, the prospect of which really excites me. Of course, during my first snowshoe experience, I tweaked both my ankles in such a way that running since has been a challenge. It is far more likely that I will make it to this race, rather than the run the previous day, due to my having no other commitments that require my attention.In the last few hours, I may have felt like maybe I could go running this evening, but the very bitter cold front, complete with snow, have helped convince me otherwise... the trainer (cycle) is a likely alternative. The "competitive drum" beats on during the following weeks, which are equally as busy with some pretty cool competitive options coming up, including the Cast-a-Shadow 6 Hour Relay to "celebrate" Groundhogs Day and a winter marathon, consisting of 26 laps of a mile loop, in Dublin... Ohio.
Adio, wli nanawalmezi.
