I admit: I didn’t run this weekend. But I did snowshoe! If you’re going to be in a few feet of snow in Big Bear, it’s a good alternative to  attempting to run on icy roads.

While snowshoeing, I heard about an event that may make my 2010 calendar: a 5K and 10k snowshoe race in Big Bear. Unfortunately, we just missed it this year. It was Feb. 7. I suppose it would be a little difficult to train for it in Santa Barbara, but the woman who told me about it assured me that no one trains for it. 

We made it safely down the mountain today, despite the storm. I’d never seen so much snow.

Thanks to my friends for a great weekend. We crammed 9 adults, 3 dogs, 1 baby, 2 cans of pancakes in a can and a whole lot of fun into one cabin.
