It’s been school vacation week here and I will admit this is usually a week I dread because it’s usually too cold to be outdoors and every museum, movie theater, arcade, bowling ally or other possible indoor activity is jam-packed with other desperate parents looking to keep the kids entertained.
But despite my apprehension it’s been a good week – We’ve kept the boys busy with skiing and snowboarding, sledding, board (and yes, some video) games, and time with friends. While my running has definitely taken a backseat this week, there’s been some cross-training and my boys have really gotten into the 30-day ab challenge with me 🙂
Once again we’re expecting another snow storm this weekend – yes that’s the third weekend in a row for those of you keeping track! 
The local weather people can barely contain their excitement while I’m seriously not looking forward to another round of cross-training in the form of shoveling.
And, once again I’m scheduled to get my first race in of 2013 – this time it’s the Frosty Virtual 5K/10K/Half Marathon to benefit the American Cancer Society. Since the snow/rain mess is due to kick in sometime Saturday afternoon my plan is to get out uber early on Saturday morning and get my 5K in before my son’s hockey game. At least I know this race won’t be canceled 😉
Are you racing this weekend?
Or have a date with a snow shovel?
Ahhh that’s a lot of snowy weekends! I’m not sure I’ve ever seen a snow (E. TN) that required shoveling! I am not a fan of snow though so I am just fine with that. No race for me this weekend. Good luck w/your Frosty Virtual!
Have fun with your race! We only got maybe 3″ last night out of the ‘mega storm’ so I’m kind of disappointed. I have to say that February has been our ‘most wintery’ month. Overall it’s been quite mild.
Long run for me first thing in the morning! Then I’ll wait for the snowplow guy to show up sometime on Sunday 😉
Good luck Michelle!
