Happy news! The pair of poodles who went missing in Palgrave Forest yesterday are safe and did not spend the cold night outside. I was looking out the door for them all evening, and I'd planned a poodle hunt on foot in Palgrave East this morning. There is enough uninhabited land for a dog to get seriously lost around here, so I always get a lump in my throat when I see a "lost pet" sign.

Only time for a quick run before heading into Toronto to check out the spring goodies at the Salomon Store then meet friends for dinner and the Banff Film Festival. (Which had an interesting film about changes to another area of Nepal we've trekked in - seems to be an ongoing theme of the week. This time the changes were happier.)


After a warm-up, I did a moderately hilly run on our country road. (Once again, I had new shoes that I wasn't ready to get muddy!) The dirt road run (from our driveway entrance to Humber Station to Hwy 50 to home) is 5.3K and took 1:15 less than two years ago. I think it may be helping that I have less weight to push up the hills.
