Training Log: Swampfox

Today Spring made another go at being Spring instead of being Winter, and I was so heartened by this "change in climate" that I wrassled up some O' things and prepared to go out and see what was cookin'. I know some people might object that "wrassle" isn't a real world, and all I can say about that is that it makes me feel pity for those poor, misguided souls.

And I know also that some people would take a more conservative approach, worrying that that a premature attempt at orienteering might jinx the whole Spring and not Winter thing, but you can't live your life in constant fear. So out I went!

In the end it became a run at Pelican Bay, and while I did not run by the bay itself, or see any pelicans anywhere either, it was still nice to get out.

There was one bit of sadness however: very near the end, the sole (soul?) of one of my shoes partially detached from the shoe. Too bad, but at least it happened at the end and not the beginning. And these shoes--Inov8 Arctic Claws--proved to be incredible value for the money. I can't begin to guess how many times I've orienteered in them, just that they've had heavy use for multiple years. But all things pass, and now these shoes have, too.
