I am doing a gravel grinder that is a race, but I don't think I'm going to make the time cut. It's really short for some reason. I'm using it as a training ride anyway. I'm hoping to get a road ride in on the other day. Good luck, everyone!
I am racing a 10 miler Sunday. I'm kinda surprised it is still on, most of the other races this weekend are cancelled.
Why? Is it supposed to snow again? Nooooo. Or b/c there still is snow/ice? Winter racing sucks around here. I can only imagine how stressful it would be for race directors.

I think it is just all the existing snow and ice that is causing the cancellations. I've run this race in the past and the course is mostly on one or two lanes of the road, but there is part of it where it goes down to either one lane or the shoulder. I'm hoping they were able to get the rest of the road opened up so it isn't an issue, cause I'm not going to be happy if it turns essentially a trail race.

I am! I am! I am!
Half marathon, 1 mile up hill, 12.5 down (3000 feet!) and the rest flat. I had dreams of getting a sub 2 in this race (I came in at 2:06 last year WITH picture taking/porta potty stops) but I have a cold and therefore am not sleeping.
I am! It's my last race (except maybe some 5ks here and there) until I give it a rest then gear up for my fall marathon. I'm so excited for the break!
I'm doing the Run Like a Diva half in Temecula tomorrow. I woke up yesterday with a sore throat, and now I can't breathe through my nose and I feel miserable. I'm really just running for the wine when I'm done.

Holy crap--there's going to be SNOW for the first part of my half this sunday! There's a big storm moving in, and the snow level is expected to drop below 4000 feet (we start at 5000)
Love of my life baby boy born 11/11. One and done not by choice; 3 years of TTC yielded 4 MMC and 2 CPs, through 4 IUIs and 2 IVFs. Focusing on making the world a better place instead...and running.
Good luck everyone! I also can't wait to see how everyone's month went tomorrow!! I had a good month. Not as good as I wanted, but better than January!

That's great, especially with February being 3 days shorter!
