Ironically, appropriately, they're predicting temperatures in the 40s and 50s this week, which should result in a pretty much complete absence of snow to run in...

Clarification re: North Pole Marathon entry

I've realized that my original posting re: my contest entry was a little unclear - if you are wanting to post a supporting statement regarding my entry, please do it at http://www.yourrunning.com/story-inspired_to_head_north (my entry statement), not on my blog...

Thanks much!

Yes, I'm crazy

As of today, my entry has been posted to the Yourrunning.com North Pole Marathon contest - if I win, I'll be running in the North Pole Marathon on or about April 15th. The contest closes on January 31st, and they'll be announcing the winner on or about February 15th.

Please feel free to post any supporting messages to my entry if you've got something to share that the contest organizers should hear. Or if you just want to send me to the North Pole....
