Sundays are "long-run" days for those of us training to survive marathons and mountain climbs. Today's goal: a nine-mile run through the idylls of rural Vermont. Today's actuality: A nine-mile run/walk (1 hr and 41 minutes) featuring slippery roads, a light snowfall, worrisome knee pain, and troublesome hills. I did learn that running with a water bottle in hand when it's 27 degrees outside has some advantages: instead of the water getting warmer and warmer with every mile, it gets colder and more refreshing. Happily, it never quite froze. I guess this bodes well for the refreshing quality of Mt. Rainier drinking water.
