Wallowa Lake - to the lake & back with CA & Courtney

November 27, 2019 (Morning)

Exercise Type: Run

Weather: mid 20s, snowing

Comments:
Slept pretty good, got up, had some tea, then got out for a run with CA and Courtney.

We got super-lucky last night: no active snowfall and only patches (of what was probably drifting) snow from the previous day. Thus, the drive was pretty good.

Today: we woke up the heavy snowflakes, and it snowed nearly the entire day.

From the cabin ("CHERISH THE CABIN!"), we ran downstream to the state park, then to the boat launch at the south end of the lake before turning back and running the main road.

CA is still nursing her calf, and I my damn heels, so we ran slow (she sometimes adding a walk break) and short.

My left heel was so-so. Symptoms moved around from the Achilles insertion to the lateral lower heel. Never felt terrible, but never great.

Ran about 2.25 miles.

Rest of the day:
* fasted 'til about noon, when we went into town. Had THE BEST non-dairy latte I've had, maybe ever, at Arrowhead coffee in Joseph. (I'm glad / afraid that Joseph is slowly transforming into tourist chic -- "with all your gourmet COFFEE and COOOOKIE shops"...but it makes for damn good coffee).
* ran a couple errands in town, then came back. Ate brunch at around 1.
* napped from 3-4:15, then went for a twilight snow walk with CA (sundown comes early in this steep valley!)
* did TONS of food prep for CA
* dinner
* card games with CA, Bert, Courtney

Good day!
