Groundhog Day...and Ultrarunning

I am writing this the day prior, and I am absolutely certain that the rodent is gonna predict 6 more weeks of winter.

Why?  Because it's slated to be a pretty day, near 60 F.  Not bad for the dead of winter here in the Mid-Atlantic.

By the way, the festivities at Punxsatawney sound like a real hoot.  They have a 50K or 50M in the late summer or early fall that I always have looked at but never run.  Maybe this year....
