Another exploratory run/hike up towards Mont Racine on another side I had never been. Really pleasant. But I took a trail across into the woods to connect to another forest road but the trail dead-ended at a boundary mark. So I climbed up cross-country through thick woods to the meadows above and ran across meadows to a nearby dirt road. I should have gone up higher to almost where I was on Wednesday to begin with. But no harm done. I had some raindrops (about 15 of them) but also sunshine and some strong winds.

Another hike/jog due to my cold/cough. But I am recovering nicely. The sun and warmth up high does wonders to the physical and mental health. We're just stuck in fog and the temps around zero to 4 degrees. Luckily, in a very short time, 10 to 20 min, we're up and above the layer of greyness.
Went over Mont Racine and went exploring most of the time cross-country as there were no real trails where I wanted to go and get back. Wonderful, but no snow in sight!

The usual yoga class. Today was especially good, she had us in a flow of vinyasa moves w v long stretches at all angles. My connective tissue was talking to me and somehow let go. This is getting better. Have to keep up the tin yoga at home too f some day better running.

The cold/cough caught up with me and woke up with almost no voice.
In the afternoon wanted to escape the fog and look for sunshine which I knew was not far away. Did a loop jogging flat/hiking up and jogging cross-country in spots and came back right at the car. Beautiful scenery late afternoon with the low sun and shadows.
