You may remember that yours truly wrote of Drew Faust’s walkathon initiative, “… walking around Cambridge in January is, you know, dumb?”

(Eloquent, I know.)

So now the plan is to walk around Cambridge…in February.

The President’s Office has dispatched an email alert that makes one chuckle.

Dear Members of the Harvard Community:

Thank you to everyone who has expressed interest in the new Harvard on the Move program and especially to those who braved last Wednesday’s storm to attend the launch event… We write now to let you know that because of the early and unexpectedly heavy arrival of snow to the region this morning, we are postponing the walk scheduled for noon today (February 1). Weather permitting, the first community run will take place Sunday, February 6, at 10 a.m., and the next walk will take place on Tuesday, February 8, at noon.

The early and unexpectedly heavy arrival of snow to the region?

But fear not: There’s a Facebook page to keep you abreast of the walking.

Imagine the bright-eyed, lips-puckered students who will show up for a brisk mid-winter walk that the president of Harvard will be walking with them?
