So what do you do if you're already signed up for those races but you want to keep up your Frost Toes schedule?
My suggestion for everyone signed up for the Canal Connection is just to run some extra miles after the race. You're going to be running 6.2 miles, and you're probably going to run fast because the Canal Connection is known as a good race for setting a PR. So after you finish, just do a cool-down run of 4 or 5 miles to log at least 10 for the weekend.
The weekend of the Jingle Bell 5k is more of a problem. You probably don't want to run the 10-mile Frostbite Festival course and then run a 5k; that would be a half marathon. So why not run the Jingle Bell race on Saturday and run the course on Sunday? If you want to do that, please let me know so I can plan to put sufficient water and Gatorade on the course.
Who Wants a T-shirt?
Graphic artist and fellow Frost Toe Anne Baker has designed a Frost Toes T-shirt, perfect for telling the world that you are part of the inaugural Frost Toes training group!
If a T-shirt sounds like a good idea, let me know that you would be interested in buying one. I'd like to have an idea of how many shirts we'll be ordering when I contact a vendor for the shirts and printing.I'd like to get these printed on black long-sleeve tech shirts. Email me or post a comment (with your name included) if you're interested in a shirt.
That's more than enough for one post. I'll be putting up the route for next Saturday's 10-mile run in a day or two. By the way, EVERYONE did great on the hills today! You guys are truly Frost Toes!

I love the shirt!!! Anne you are so awesome! OH and of course so is Barry and Dwayne! :) But I want one! The design is GREAT! And I LOVE the feet on the snowflakes!!! How cute and creative!!!! :)
Sorry that I have not been running with yous. Thought about running the 6 this AM, but couldn't get out of bed... Were there any dogs on the course? HA! Well, I guess they are by Granny Janny's house aren't they?
Slowly getting better. Started back with running this week. Holly Dahlquist, aka my nurse, has been doing a great job supervising me and keeping me on my feet. I am going to try and run with Marython tomorrow, but depending how much I "drink" tonight... Halloween party... Hmmmmmm....
