Uncancel

When you cancel your scheduled appearance for a run, then change your mind and actually attend, that's an uncanceling. I think more than one person did this today. The one that I'm sure of is Michelle Kelly-Daum. Frank Dwyer has been known to be on the fence for some runs as well, and he was a maybe for this one as well, but I'm not sure whether he officially canceled and uncanceled. Let's go ahead and add him to that latter category (the uncancelers) anyway, just because he deserves it. Chadwick and Ella Sunday and Sharon Sibilski were very solid maybe-attendees. It turned out that all those listed, and even yours truly, did indeed make it to Hinckley to start today's run.

There was a good reason to cancel today. The weather was particularly nasty. For anyone who would listen, I stated that thirties and rain is not high on my list of favorite running conditions. But once we got moving, things didn't seem quite so bad, especially as the rain and cold wind subsided. Or maybe we were simply lost in conversation and no longer noticed how miserable we all were.

As folks were leaving, I jogged around for another mile. That's when the rain resumed. Along with some sleet and freezing rain, just for fun.
