2018 and 2019 have been reduced race years for me. Significantly reduced.  And that's okay.

I am someone who actually checks weather predictions and forecasts for upcoming years.  Between crazy schedules at home, work, life and everything in between, I made the decision to rest for most of 2018 and part of 2019.  My guesses/hunches were right.  

Right now, there's six inches of snow falling.  I would have not made it safely to a race I normally would have attended...
