Running (Country Road) 1:09:32 10.21 km (6:49 / km) +102m 6:29 / km
shoes: Salomon SpikeCross - black
I went for a sunset run to Glen Haffy to check out the condition of Finnerty Sideroad in anticipation of picking up my mountain bike from the shop tomorrow. There's thin layer of mud in most places with occasional ice patches but it's frozen hard underneath and should be decent for riding. I took a brief detour with thoughts of running on the Bruce Side Trail for part of the way but I started post holing immediately and decided that a hilly gravel road would be good enough.
I've been enjoying lots of other types of training this winter but not much running. When I get home from Argentina, I'll have 5 months to prepare for UTMB so running will have to take centre stage for awhile. I was pleased that everything felt fine today. Endurance seems OK but I can tell that some speedwork and running drills would be a good idea. I tried out some of the things that the Carbons have been talking about from their running coach.
After 45 minutes, my sunset run turned into a heavy snowstorm run. Cool! I came home and headed to the back yard to test my sleeping bag/bivy combo in my damp clothes for 45 minutes at -5C. It was OK but I'll be really grateful if it doesn't get that cold at Tierra Viva. It probably won't get any colder but it could get a whole lot wetter and windier.
Miscellaneous "getting into race mood" today:
- Packed Spanish/English dictionary.
- Bought Argentinian wine.
- Encouraged cardinals to elect Argentinian Pope.

Note
America, you must not look away (How to finish off the NRA)
A powerful and disturbing essay by Michael Moore that is ultimately about gun control but makes the broader point that sweeping details and images of horrible events under the rug makes it easier for those things to continue. (Not just in America and not just guns.)
