Time:

5:00pm

Activity: 

Snowy road run

Distance: 

7.2 miles

Gear: 

Hoka Speedgoat 3; Black Diamond Spot

Audio: 

Slate Political Gabfest - "The 'Pocketing Your Notes' Edition," Talk Ultra - "Camille Herron and Tyler Curley"

Sensations: 

Slow conditions, with ice, compact snow, and loose snow after overnight storm, but generally felt good, if a bit tedious.  Started in full light, finished with headlamp. Returned home cranky - no explanation.  

Overarching thoughts:

Thinking about the falling pants in Waiting for Godot, after hearing an In Our Time story that Beckett was distraught to learn that, in certain productions, Estragon's pants weren't dropping all the way to the floor after he removed his rope belt.   

Thinking about entering the Antelope Island Buffalo Run 50 miler in March, and wondering whether it's too soon to make sense.  Timing would be good to begin a lead up to Tahoe Rim Trail 100 in July, but I can't pack the weekly miles like I used to be able to, so recovery is always an issue, especially with Miwok in early May.  

Thinking that road runs at 5pm on a weekday are not always the most relaxing thing.
