The snow was wet as rain today, but lovely white and cozy as I ran on the LoBo Trail. The Inov8 rain jacket Karen gifted me at Christmas to run the Bandera 100K protected me well. It was good to test it in the elements.

I’m training now for the Desert Rats 50K in April. Post broken collar bone, I’m starting out from scratch, slow and heavy. Slow’s not a problem for an ultra, but the weight needs to improve. I can’t afford to miss out on long weekend runs because of a little weather. And today was actually quite enjoyable, with little wind and 32°. This rain jacket’s a keeper.
