I figured I was ‘badass enough’ to run the GroundHog Day ‘Whole Hog’ race weekend – a 1/6th Marathon night race (4.4 miles) followed by a Half Marathon the next day.  The race directors were very clear: the park path is not plowed or prepared ahead of time for the race. You run against whatever Nature puts in your way.  They don’t cancel due to wimpy things like rain or snow.  I was game!  But things didn't turn out quite the way I expected.
