the Way of the Turtle

THE 2008 WMAC SNOWSHOE SERIES BEGINS!
No Woodford for the Turtle...
Sunday, December 30, 3007

Despite reports of great running conditions at Woodford, I reluctantly gave up on making it to the first race of the 2008 WMAC Snowshoe Series, mainly because there's no place there for Ann to wait comfortably... race HQ is essentially a couple of tables set up in a parking lot! I definitely want to run Woodford again - it was my first ever snowshoe race in December 2005, so it holds a special place in my heart - but this year it just didn't make sense, given that it would have meant leaving her home along for 4-5 hours Sunday morning and early afternoon.(And after two weeks of being mostly inactive... it probably would have been pretty darn painful running to boot!)

On the plus side, conditions look good both for the Frozen Assets 5k race out near Rochester next weekend, and the Brave the Blizzard 5k right here in Albany... which may finally be a snowshoe race in its fourth running, and which I may actually be in town and able to attend!
