January 8th (Non)Results

It’s never too late for a first-ever. Today was the first time in two dozen marathon training cycles that our first run was cancelled. I never officially called it off; didn’t need to. All of you made that (wise) decision yourselves by not driving to the Eugene Running Company (which had closed for the day, anyway).

The only reason we ever alter or abandon a planned run is dangerous surface conditions. Rain we can handle; cold we can tolerate. But ice is a no-go. Better to miss this one run than to risk missing them all after taking a hard fall.
