When You’re Handed Lemons…

….make lemonade, right?  When everything’s freezing around you….see the art in it!


We’re facing another decent storm, expected to come in Thursday morning and last throughout the day.  There’s an interesting snow/rain line, so that could give some of us a decent snowfall. 


The Martha’s Vineyard 20 Miler should still go off on Saturday.  The plan is to head down on Friday, get situated, find dinner, get running outfits ready, get some sleep, and follow the yellow brick road...


Did I mention this is a girls event?  Yep, Scott’s staying behind to hang with Bella while we girls head off to raise some running hell on the island.  It’ll sure be interesting what kind of weather we get to run 20 miles in!  Right now, the forecast is as follows:  36 degrees, 10% chance of precipitation, 16 mph winds.  It's only Tuesday though.

Hey, what do you want for a road race in February….on an island…in New England!   I see lots of layers and wind breakers in our future.  I see lots of weather uncertainty.  And I see adventure J

When you get lemons…..run a 20 miler!!!

  1. If it were 10 miles, I'd consider joining you! 20 is too much for me though. You'll have a great time and have great stories to tell after. Have fun!!

    1. Thanks Michelle!

      I haven't done a 20 miler in some time, but if I remember this is a training run, I should be able to keep it together. Oh yes, I'm sure there'll be a few stories :)

  3. You are far tougher than me! I'm the biggest wimp in the world - just the thought of running in the snow makes me cringe!
    Good luck - have fun with the girls!

    1. What's funny Kim is that I hate winter, cold, etc. In fact, our pellet stove keeps our living room at a balmy 80-90 degrees if we don't watch it. And I love it!

      But there's something intriguing about running in a place during a time where most people look at you like you're crazy - it's a FUN crazy :)

    1. Its a cool distance Amy. We have 3 that I know of in my neck of the woods, so I feel like we're kinda lucky w/ that!
