Another week of challenges is almost over. We’re getting more snow in New York, and I am once again behind in my mileage goals, but I’ll get it done, because that is what I do. Today I hope to squeeze in as many miles as I can, tomorrow, I’ll do 12 and sunday I’ll do a couple with a guy from the internets who is way, way faster than I am. That should be interesting.

When I am out there doing 12 miles in the snow tomorrow I’ll think of how many times Shalane Flanagan had to run in nasty conditions to put in a performance like this at the 2010 New York City Marathon.
