is/not is run

Next weekend's marathon has been cancelled "due to current and expected weather conditions". I'm of several minds about this, including:
i) I've been looking forward to this since October or so, but
ii) I'm spectacularly unprepared, having run about once a week since October, OTOH
iii) I feel like I over-trained for the last one, so this would be some kind of metric for how under-training does, but
iv) I've been snow-shoeing every day for the last 3 weeks or whatever, and that's some work, right?

Anyway, next weekend is now solely devoted to helping mother-in-law settle into Assisted Living (from Independent Living, with a sojurn in Hospital and Rehab after a Fall). Not great, could be worse... And our wonderful parting gifts include as much furniture as we can cram in the back of the Prius...

Snowshoeing exercise is highly variable: trail broken? distance? speed? snow depth (don't need to know that, I just look out what parts of my window aren't covered by drifts)? Generally it gets my heart going, but doesn't make me breathe hard like running or fast bicycling. But one could run on snowshoes...

I'm sorry you're having to miss this. If Hyannis looks anything at all like the Boston area, I can't imagine even trying to run a road race in these conditions (or for weeks thereafter).
