Snow

Cold front moved through overnight, loads of snow down to 1000m asl, most of the mountain passes closed, lucky we moved off the mountain.
This morning drizzle, not above 10 before lunch, sun came out, not a bad afternoon. Drove 50km to a different valley, d'Arc.
Long run up Col de la Madelaine from the valley below. Over 400m of climbing at an average of 7%, stopped at the 800m level.
87 minutes of running today. 127km last 7 days.
Have been doing planks, must do before consuming wine, not possible during or after.

I've started setting up for indoor training. This morning a quick trip to the shop for supplies that the puppy will eat, another short run solo, and a short puppy training session of fetch the ball. I ran 80 minutes just before the weather arrived. Tassie Masters Athletics posted this video from the Australian Masters Athletics Championships mixed XC race a few days ago on their Youtube site. A great memory from such a great event.
