Max Etka emailed the picture above, explaining that a major key is "when the track is snowed over, dig it up to get your workout in. [PS] Anotha one." Another one, indeed.

Coach Daniel Betz of University High in Colorado sent in this photo after shoveling six inches of snow off of all eight lanes of his track; it took three hours.
