I’m heading over to the Kandersteg Ice Festival in Switzerland next week, always a fun event. Black Diamond Europe is giving all the proceeds from the slide shows to the Berger family, amazing generosity, thanks! If you’re in Europe I hope to see you at the shows, should be fun!
There are a lot of people working to raise small and large bits of money on both sides of the Atlantic, somehow this is in keeping with the true spirit of celebrating life, friends and family at this time of year. I like Christmas too–almost every culture has some sort of winter solstice celebration. The cool thing is that from here on out every day is a bit longer, yeah!
best,
WG
Training: Ran like a SOB in the dark last night, best run of the year so far. I’ve been really into night running lately, cruising through the woods by headlamp, great time to think and just let the night trail roll by. I’ve always liked running at night, it feels more free somehow, plus the hills seem shorter when you can’t see the top of ‘em… Chili Dog also seems to like it, chases the headlamp beam along the trail in front of me. Then of course too much eggnog at night, grin. Elbow slowly improving, rest seems to do more than anything else, plus drinking copius amounts of water all day and hydrations beers at night.
