My quest to run twelve races in twelve months hit an unfortunate snag. In February I was signed up to compete in the Mid Winter classic, a 10 mile run that is held in the town where I live. Despite the distance and the time of year, the race attracted 800 entrants. On February 6th, the Town announced that the roads were not safe for the runners; the snowbanks were too high, and due to fresh snow, the Town needed to plow. The same story occurred on the 27th, the make up date. This time, the race is cancelled. Bummer.
So, on to the next race which is this coming Sunday Morning. The Irish Road Rover Starts and finishes in front of an Irish pub named Brian Boru. I can see some Guinness in my future. I will also need to pick up an additional race to stay on track with my goal. The reality is that the weather has not been very cooperative for training purposes. For a while I was doing ok, but the constant cold and snow has begun to wear me down a bit. But enough of that! March will be a good training month for me I know it! Today begins the rest of the training year for me, and I started well. Spring is coming, hang in there everyone.
