I have decided not to run the Tour De Trails 6 Miler due to not just the snow but the high winds (and the resulting potentially dangerous windchills) forecast for Northern Illinois this weekend, not to mention the complications of driving 90 miles each way in those conditions, plus the projected parking problems at Atwood Park. That’s just too much for what the conditions would basically turn into a glorified training run.
Plus, I’m scheduled to run the F3 Lake Half Marathon next weekend in Chicago, and that’s a goal race. It’s probably best to take it easy through the weekend and load up for that… even given the forecasted conditions for that race are also quite icy and windy.
