Saturday, it could be worse, we could be here!



The weather forecast for Saturday at the South Pole is overcast with a high temperature of -22 degrees (F) and a low of -49 degrees (F), and that's before the wind chill factor! It makes our local weather forecast for 10 degrees (F) at 8am Saturday morning sound almost balmy!

Admittedly, I am a wimp when it comes to bitter cold weather. If there is such a thing as reincarnation, I want to come back as a bear, NOT a polar bear obviously. Bears eat like there is no tomorrow in the fall, hibernate over the winter, and wake up thin in the spring when the weather is nice once again. Not a bad idea if you ask me. I understand they can be pretty fast runners too. Anyway, I will do my best to at least come down to the trail to take attendance Saturday morning for those brave, daring, and Boston-bound folks. Brrrrrrr!

Also, congratulations to Joe and Dolly for completing the Walt Disney World Goofy Challenge once again this past weekend!
  • Joe: Half-Marathon - 1:58:53 Marathon - 4:03:07
  • Dolly: Half-Marathon - 1:58:54 Marathon - 4:06:10
Well done!
