But, it can also drop really quickly and then it is like "hell has frozen over" you can't walk, run or even drive in some areas. I have been praying for a little colder temps and more snow.

Our colleagues are all working from home because it's too cold to commute to the office. My boss was looking at the temps and just shaking his head in disbelief saying "no way, NO WAY!" I don't even think I've experienced a Chicago winter like what you guys are having right now.<br /><br />We had snow last week, it was cold (by my definition) but I figured out it was about 17 degrees F at the lowest. So, um, I'm not going to complain!!<br /><br />I love the indoor relay idea! very cool!! I have done two marathon relays, Milan and Rotterdam, but they are both road marathons. runlaugheatpiehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/09233445490233555647noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2647157930116406632.post-10850664896830564562019-01-28T11:24:52.570-06:002019-01-28T11:24:52.570-06:00That indoor relay sounds really cool!
