bloc of soap

Here I sit in my office, listening to the plows go by and thinking how nice it would be to be home already. Really, the snow is no big deal, shouldn't cause me any problems and thus is not really worth leaving early for, but: it has been snowing for almost eight hours. Seriously, since I got here, there has been snow. And I just heard someone outside my office say it may be icing now. Oh then, maybe I should be thinking of leaving already then.
I did a nice run all the way around the back bay loop yesterday. Somewhere right around 4 miles, when you factor in the trip to and from the path itself. It was a beautiful day, a slow run because of the wind on the far side (and the fact that I took a minor detour and almost headed into the east end by accident).
The 10-miler in February is, I think, a no-go at this point. I've scouted a race that is much further out (May) and longer (15 miles / 25k! quite the unusual distance). The usual suspects are going to be involved, if all goes well, more will follow. Went to the gym today for a little bike-plus-weights and its off to the running again tomorrow, probably indoors, looking at the weather out side the window (snow! with ice underneath! not the stuff fun is made of for runners!). Okay, now I need to go clean off my car.
