So I've had February 13th blocked on my calendar since September. I registered for a half marathon in Myrtle Beach - a very large race - and have been in diligent training since November 1. So we get to MB on Thursday night, our accomodations are great with lots of indoor pools and hot tubs, and it seems like a great family get away. I was to run Saturday morning and Bill was going to do a 63 mile bike ride on Sunday. All was great except the threat of weather. Friday evening around 6pm it started snowing - at the beach - and the city cancelled our run. So what do 6000+ mad runners do on Saturday? They went out and ran in the snow! The weekend wasn't a complete bust, the boys had a great time in the pools and the bike ride went on Sunday with only a 2 hour delay. We did have a good time, but I was disappointed and have now registered for a 1/2 on March 6. Knees don't fail me yet!
3-5" of snow was predicted, but I don't think it passed 2". At any rate, I'd never seen snow on the beach before! It was pretty and on the palm trees, too!
