Brilliance... Pure, Sweet Brilliance
Thanks, Jeff, your brilliant advice made my run today so much more pleasant. Lovely even, to be pelted by rain, sleet, snow pellets, and legitimate snow. Because I could see! I wore my sunglasses with their yellow lenses (Which I've used in the past for biking but never thought to wear while running in bad weather!). I'm glad someone out there is smart... It was a cruddy day out there! They said we were going to get a bunch of snow, but it stayed too warm for snow in the inches. Instead, it was a rainy, icy, snowy mix all day long.
I had a super productive day, chorewise and workoutwise. I didn't get everything I wanted done, but I can never quite finish my to-do lists in the alloted time. There's always something more to do. However, instead of doing all of that stuff, I wish I were in New York today, for obvious reasons. And, I also wish I had TV so I could see coverage of the event. Alas, I've just read up on the marathon via the Internet. I must be the last person in the country to find out the outcome! It sounds like it must have been thrilling to watch, especially the last 2 miles of the women's race and the last 400m of the men's race.
My running was miniscule in comparison, 3 miles easy. I also lifted (Finally, the first time in 10 days, I think! Perhaps that means I'll be sore tomorrow.). Tonite I plan to do 60 minutes on the bike trainer and core exercises. Oh, the excitement.
Running wildlife report: There's a huge contingency of wolf watchers that hang out at Yellowstone. Where ever there are wolves, there are wolf watchers. I think that these wolf watchers have seen wolves almost every day since wolves were re-introduced to Yellowstone years ago. Their dedication is somewhat admirable and somewhat obsessive, if you ask me. In any case, the point is that it is easy to discern where the wolves are on any given day based upon where the wolf watchers are. Today, as I was running, I saw the wolf watcher contingency nearby, their spotting scopes and telephoto camera lenses pointed in my direction. I knew they were looking at wolves somewhere nearby me, though I couldn't see anything and my dog didn't seem to notice anything out of the ordinary. Hmmmn, the wolves are out there...
