Weather - 16 degrees, clear.

Pretty nice day, I guess because I did not feel much wind. 

I ran over to the arboretum, planning to run the hill for 1 hour. I saw about 10 sledders flying down the fresh snow which fell last night. Not a problem, though, as I run north and south, and the sledders go east and west.

I felt pretty good, never got tired, just kept grinding up and down the hill for 60 minutes. The distance is 100m up, and then 125m down.

The 28 mile Riddle Run is in 12 days, so I am going to start bringing down the mileage this week and next so that I can be fresh for the 31st.

Amazing. Good luck on your upcoming race.

So were you running the hill in the snow, or was it clear where you were running?

Nothing was clear, an inch or two of snow on the grass, so I was trudging on slippery ground. I welcomed the challenge, I need to toughen my legs and mind.

By early March I want to be able to run that hill for 2 1/2 - 3 hours. If I can do that, I will feel ready for McNaughton.

Nice 10 miler you did today, too bad about the MP3!
