Personal:

I have five cute kids. And I have some rockin short green racing shorts- I wear them mainly because it embarrasses my wife so much. I like ultimate frisbee, trail running, reading, and cheering for the Denver Broncos! And I have the absolute best wife in the world. And I used to run for the now-disbanded national Team Pearl Izumi- Ultra!

AM greenville got a solid coating of ice last night, probably .3 to .4 inches. Working from home but took a run using my pretty new MicroSpikes, my first real ice run. They worked awesome, with no slipping even on solid ice and steep hills. I don't think I would want to wear them for an ultra as they would be heavy but they work great. Just wish I had bought them in Utah rather than waiting for South Carolina. 9 miles or so.

apparently you don't need winter spikes in utah anymore.

Nope, sunny and beautiful. Close to 60 again tomorrow.

And in the meantime, they cancelled schools for the second day in a row tomorrow. Mind you, the roads are completely dry here. And they are already considering delaying or cancelling Thurs and Fri due to expected low temps (~10 deg).

I'm from Minnesota, y'all. This southern ice is nothing to mess with. But once it's gone, cancelling school for several more days is just lame, all because "it's cold" or "there might be a bit of ice on a road somewhere". All you northerners can mock away, we deserve it.

Lame.

But it's a lot worse up in TR and it's snowing on Paris Mountain.

it didn't even snow here today and there were people calling into work saying they couldn't come because they were "snowed in".

no.
