It's snowing! I knew we wouldn't be able to get by the way it's been going without it catching up to us. We've had the warmest March on record, I think, but, alas, I've not taken advantage. Part of not getting out to the Gorge to run was because of homework, part of that was trying to save money by not driving so much, part of that was the rest of life. Point is, though, I haven't run in the Gorge since last January--although I did run a tiny bit when I went back to Tennessee over break. Went out with some cool people, met the director of Wild Trails (a non-profit in Chattanooga dedicated to "promot[ing] the use, expansion, and protection of trails in greater Chattanooga" and also met Jennifer Pharr Davis, the record holder for fastest assisted thru hike of the Appalachian Trail! I think I even got my photo in a magazine somehow (someone told me they saw it recently, but I haven't seen it myself). Surely not because of my trail running prowess. Basically, I was at the right place at the right time.
This afternoon's snowflakes brought my attention to the beautiful running weather I've missed, and it reminded me I still need to finish the trail review of Kates Plateau that I started last January. Wow. January. I'm way behind...but I have finished the text! Now just to get the pictures set in the right places. She's comin.
