In a repeat of last year, I'm off to Portland again for an extended weekend to run the Mega Fat Ass 34 miler in Capitol Forest, WA. I have not been training AT ALL for a competitive run of this length, but hey, I did it a year ago and I should still have some residual fitness left over from last summer. I think. I hope. Maybe? I dunno, but I'm really looking forward to getting back to the Pacific NW, seeing friends and fam, and running on dirt!
Last year, the summit of Capitol Peak was shrouded in an icy fog (hence the title of this entry and the respective video clip) with jagged ice shards being blown off the radio tower at the top as we ran around it on both laps of the course. I don't mind the fog. Or the ice. I run on ice all the time. I've been running on ice for months now. But the fog, the ice, AND the gale winds? I just don't want anyone to be harpooned by a icy dagger while running around that radio tower. Or any other time, for that matter... But I think the odds of it happening while tiptoeing around that tower are greater. Maybe it will be raining! = )
