Catching Up
Three days without power and a week in Europe for work with limited internet have conspired to set things back but like a bad penny it's time to get back into the swing of things. There are fewer race results than anticipated with the cancellations and postponements after Sandy. I hope that everyone has gotten back their power and suffered minimal home damage. The running community has come together admirably to contribute to the relief efforts for those severely effected by the storm.
Wasted on Youth
Here's an interesting story of 12 and 10 year old sisters from Texas who compete at a high level in some serious Western trail races. It looks like they're racing every weekend, maybe twice a weekend, which seems a bit much at that age but they seem to enjoy it and are not subject to overweening parental pressure. Decide for yourself.

Canceling New York
Late to the game but glad that the NY Marathon was canceled. It's too bad that they waited until so many runners came to the city before making the announcement. I liked Rob Gallagher's point that he now has his first marathon DNF shirt.
Sign-Ups Open
Registration is now open for two of the area's iconic races. The Superbowl 10K on February 3 allows you to wear the gear of your favorite team in the game, unlikely to be the Eagles this year. You can get away with wearing your Iggles T. O. jersey if it hasn't been used as a paint rag (or if it has). Also, don't forget to sing up for the April 28 St. Luke's Half Marathon. While it's gone through several name changes since the days of the Runners' World Half, it remains one of the premier half marathons on the calendar. So get yourself on the websites for both and sign up before each race sells out.
Club Races
A nice double header to work off Thursday's overindulgence. Warm up with the Habitat 5K before working of about a tom of stuffing and pie at the Dirty Bird 15K trail race.

Race Results
Fewer results than might have been but for any number of race cancelations. Jack Heely responded to the cancelation of the NY Marathon by going back to back in Richmond and Norfolk. The D&L Marathon was the big beneficiary of New York being shut down as they picked up a number of runners from far-flung parts to participate.
