Let it snow!

Actually, please don't. See, I've got an 8k cross-country race in the morning. I'm running as part of a team from my new tri club and it's currently snowing. It's expected to keep snowing until we get a couple more inches, stopping sometime tomorrow morning. I can't just bag the race as I kind of might be the team captain. Doh!

I suppose it can't be too bad, after all everyone runs the same race in the same conditions. It'll be a great character building experience. ( I cringe when I say that... ) The thing is, I have no decent winter running shoes. Just your regular normal everyday trainers. The only wool socks I have are way too thick to fit inside my running shoes.

What to do... what to do...

My snowshoes ( both pairs! ) are at my parents house in Colorado. Who ever thought I'd need them here?! Not me apparently. With the expected 6" of accumulation, though they're almost going to be mandatory.

I guess I'll just suck it up and find a way. I'll bring my normal running shoes, run in those, and make sure I've got a dry/warm pair of socks and shoes, as I have a feeling whatever I wear for the race is going to be soaked at the end.

Official report to follow after the events tomorrow, provided I don't succumb to hypothermia or frostbite. Wish me luck, and send warm thoughts to my toes.
