This snowy Sunday morning post goes out to all the Flagstaffians training for the Boston Marathon in April, folks who presumably had to do their last long run today before tapering.
It was rough out there on the roads this morning — snow, ice, slush and (worst of all) wind. The thing to do, of course, was to plan ahead and drive to the Valley for that long run. But not everyone can do that. So, think of it this way: Running this morning in Flag will make you tougher when you hit Heartbreak Hill next month.
