We have had our fair shares of snow from the East this winter. Snow has been a true test of patience especially since I am dependent on public transport running to get to work. As we are currently optimistically approaching spring, we thought it would be the temporary end of our relationship with the icy whites. Unfortunately, this isn't the case. We have received another weather warning that the snow will greet us again this weekend. And as such, once again, the country has become panic stricken.
Our 10k run on Sunday has been cancelled until further notice due to the weather warning. We received the email about this a few hours ago while eating dinner with friends. A was very much looking forward to this run, and so have I. Needless to say, we were both quite surprised and disappointed with the news. A has trained for it even whilst in Malaysia whilst I have been emotionally preparing for it without much physical preparation. But I had moved an on-call day on Sunday to free up time to go for the run, whilst A had moved his trips back to London to make sure that he was in town to attend.
Really goes to show that one can plan meticulously for something to happen, but everything can go awry even at the last minute. Only God knows what will happen, and He is the best of Planners.
Another thing I am nervous about is how I am to get to work on Saturday. Hopefully trains will still run but I am honestly expecting to be stranded at the train station, frustrated and at loss. But we will see! Snow, please be kind to me.
