Last Saturday members of our running club headed out in -2 degrees for a run on the Battlefield. I wasn't with them, I was comfortably tucked up in bed sound asleep.
This afternoon its 43 and sunny, so I will tackle eight miles on the trails in relative comfort!
I can only pray that this weather pattern holds and that we have milder weather for the "ICY 8" on February 7. No, it' s not an eight mile run, it's an 8 hour run. It's not who goes the fastest over a distance it's who goes the furthest over the time.
My initial goal is to complete four 8 mile loops for a total of 32 miles, just over 50k. However I don't think this will take all 8 hours to complete, so I may go for 40 miles. At the JFK 50 it took me just under 8 hours to get in 40 so it will be close. We'll see what the day brings and how the trail runs.
