Since running into the mountains, it’s been a busy few days. My deepest thanks to Rob and Chloe Vance for taking me in and helping me to have a good day off! It was just what the doctor ordered. And thanks to John and Erin Krohe… they took Jen in for the day off. I had just met John the night he came to pick up Jen and he ended up running with me the following day for 10k as I ran out of Canmore! As I was running through Banff, an old Outward Bound friend saw me as he was driving by, so it was a chance encounter in the Rockies! Thanks Derek! My friend Liza came out to run with me yesterday morning, which was great! She’s been an elite adventure racer for years, so it was kind of her to run my slow pace!! And after crossing the BC border yesterday, Jen made an amazing chicken curry to celebrate!
Couldn’t be more happy crossing this last border!
This morning, it’s back to seeing my own breath in the RV. It’s about 0 degrees but the sun is slowly coming up over the mountains and we’re hoping for a nice day. It’s hard to beat the contrast of white snow on the peaks against the rich blue sky… hard not to be inspired by these giants… hard not to have a big smile as I head further into the mountains!
