Nice little boxing day run on mostly hard packed snow and some icy trails. Massive chinook arc in the sky over the Rockies—gorgeous. Weather crisp. Perfect.

No. No sprints. I did find it really easy to breathe after doing the 7s. 4 felt like nothing. Next time, I'll try to do a sprint after.

great work, friend. it must be so nice to have races to attend during winter. in comparison, it feels like you've jumped time and are in the middle of spring or summer. it must be such a different feeling.

Yeah! I heard it is -50 there today. What is with that?! Crazy. I actually snowed in Victoria today, but I'm feeling still very lucky to be here.

Yeah. There were some top runners there. I mean, the guy who won the Vancouver marathon and is a world class mountain runner placed 4th. Seriously, the competition out here is insane.
