This is only the second time in Alex's history with the PEI RoadRunners that a race hasn't gone because of the weather. The other one was The St. Patty's Day Run in 2007 which was postponed for a week due to freezing rain.

The weather the day of the Freeze Your Gizzard Run in 2005 was as nasty as today, if not a bit worse, and although we made a valiant attempt to get there, an hour after we left the house we were still not out of Oyster Bed Bridge. (One of the handful of races on the PEI RoadRunners schedule that Alex has missed since his first run, Proudes Shoes 5K, in May '04)

I trust Elaine will have better weather when she runs tomorrow!!
