Walk to Run trainees:

Obviously, with blizzard warnings for DC during our scheduled meeting time, I'm going to cancel the WTR workout scheduled for Sat. Feb 6.

I had been hoping we could get a workout in on _Sunday_ AM, but that too seems impossible. Sunday proves to be the dig-out day, and the trails we would run on look more appropriate for cross-country skiing for the for the next few days.

But not all is lost. As soon as you can dig out access from your home, drive or take transit to your nearest large indoor shopping mall. Walk 60 to 75 minutes around the mall, without many breaks, and you probably will have covered 4 miles of walking. You can do that any day or evening this coming week, even if sidewalks and trails are still snow-covered.

We will try again *next* Saturday, Feb. 13, for our start of run breaks in our workouts.

Please stay safe out there, and don't go out within the next 36 hours if you don't have to.

If you have any questions, please call me at 703-371-5171.
