Hello everyone!
It's still dicey out there, but you traiditionalists will be happy-- we're going to gather back at Iwo Jima at 8am tomorrow! (May as well, as almost a dozen people were there last week anyway!)
Thanks to everyone who sent me a field report. I can't cover much ground by myself, so I really appreciate all the help. It sounds like there are some uncleared spots on the sidewalks still, but they are ultimately passable. There is a great likelihood of melting/refreezing, so in addition to all of the regular running hazards we all must look out for as responsible individuals, be forewarned of extra ice in spots. Neighborhood parking may still be difficult as well, but there has been some melting so it's a bit better than it has been, and there are those few coveted spots right by the memorial.
Unfortunately, but probably not unexpectedly, we're going to put off the scheduled sequence of runs for a while. This week we'll revise a Christmas Tree run. The trails just aren't ready for the likes of us yet, from the sounds of things.

I'm very much looking forward to seeing the group tomorrow!
