Nothing to report except that all is going well. Today's 17km trail was taken on as if it were part of a longer run. I walked a number of hills but had bags of energy. It was a pleasure to be out despite wind and cold.

I am going to make a decision soon about my next shoes; the extra mileage will eat shoes and budget for a mid morning snack. I stuck now between going for Inov8's Terroc 330 and getting another pair of the Sauconys. Problem is, I feel, that I've not seen enough adverse weather to test the Triumphs and I'm still not convinced there's enough protection from the trail.
