I failed to remember something in yesterday's wistful and hopeful pre-winter post. I noted the coldness and brutality of winter and the way these coming months can be fun and the comfort of warm wool hats and all. Well I'd forgotten something, a very important factor for the working man. That is how friggin' difficult it is to haul myself out of bed to face another morning of darkness. Yes, the darkness, the bane of a Fairbanks winter. How could I forget you? I guess I'll start stocking up on batteries and headlamp bulbs.
I took today off from exercise and had an easy day yesterday to rest up for the marathon relay tomorrow. I just picked up my bib and shirt. (The shirt is a hideous bright, florescent green.) Despite the shirts I am still looking forward to the race. I may even run along on the third leg as well so I can clock out an 18 mile day. We'll see.
Race report to come.
