What do THEYYYY Know?

Okay...
Crap.
Word on the street is we're supposed to be receiving 4-8 inches of snow...rain...ice on Saturday. With winds of 15-25 mph.
Good times...
I'm a girl who loves a challenge.
This could be fun.
And I can blame my crappy time on the crappy weather.
Sounds fair, 'eh?
But the Olathe Marathon is in jeopardy of being cancelled cuz they are saying they don't want people getting creamed by sliding cars and such.
Fine...they are no fun.
But for anyone that knows Kansas weather, it can change on a dime or they can have the forecast all wrong.
I say, 'what do theeyyy know?'
But since Abby's hearing about it on her news station, when she lives in Philly, there may be something to this.
It's almost April people.
I guess all we can do is wait.
Doug has this fabulous idea of if the marathon does get cancelled to just continue to the YMCA and do our 26.2 miles on the dreadmill.
So far...I don't think he has any takers.

  7. That stinks. I heard on the news here this morning that (yay) the snow was going to miss us, but just barely. They were saying Falls City (hour NW of St. Joe) could expect it. Sorry, but man it's the midwest. We had tornadoes in Omaha and blizzards in the panhandle earlier this week. Hold out, maybe it'll miss you guys too!

  8. Wow, canceling this far in advance, it must be a doozy of a storm. What's your Plan B?

  10. Rob-I think you'll be just fine at Frisco with the nice flat, soft trail. It should be a great race for your first race (let alone a 50K!)

    We should certainly meet up. That would be fun.
