WINTER STRIKES WITH LOUSY WEATHER...
No Polar Dip & Dash for the Turtle
Tuesday, December 29, 2015
... as in a bit of snow (not so lousy) followed by sleet and freezing rain (bleah!) And the tomorrow is also supposed to be rainy.
Problem is, I had planned to head to Portland, ME, for the Polar Dip & Dash on December 31... a 5k run followed by a quick dip in the ocean. In and of itself it sounds like fun, but it also had the added attraction of giving me a last minute (almost literally) race in Maine for 2015, and also the opportunity to take Ann to some nice parks and wildlife refuges along the seacoast.
The lousy weather makes the driving fairly unattractive, and the rainy forecast means any walking we'd do would be fairly unpleasant (not to mention, if it rains Thursday morning it would be an unpleasant 90 minutes or so for Ann while I run and wade in the ocean.) So I've made the decision to cancel the trip. In the grand scheme of things it's no big deal... but I'm still disappointed that the weather is once again getting the last laugh.
