Storm Trak

It's coming! 12 - 18 inches of snow with the potential for 20 inches. I did get a nice brisk 8 miler in this morning in about 10 degree weather. There is something fantastic about running in temperatures between 0 and 20. I believe it is the clean, crisp air that feels as refreshing as an ice cold water (or beer) after a run in the summer.

One week to go until Las Vegas - 26.2 miles of running in the high desert. This will be the highest elevation (3200 ft) that I have run. It does drop to 2700 ft on the strip. In NJ, my normal run elevations range from 150 ft to about 300 ft.

The weather is also looking good (of course, any weather outside of 20 inches of snow is looking good) with a 40 degree start and a 55 - 60 degree finish - perfect marathon weather.
