Today was a real treat. I finally got to run where I was actually moving forward instead of staying in one place with the treadmill floor moving beneath my feet. I ran 5 miles at the Wasilla Sports Center indoor track. I felt good. I would have run longer but I needed to go to Anchorage for the planning meeting with the hiking group. So I cut it short at just 5 miles. It's probably time to taper a bit because the Phoenix Marathon is less than two weeks away. I will shoot for one long run sometime this week though. I'm still pretty tired because of the transition from working nights for a month, and now trying to sleep at night instead of during the day.
I went to REI and got a warmer down parka for the Mt. Kilimanjaro climb. I didn't really have exactly the right thing, so now I do. The challenge is to figure out how to get everything I need into one pack that I can carry onto the plane. I would really prefer not to check any luggage. I think I will be able to do it using my GoLight pack and keeping things really light. I will do the climb and safari in my true minimalist style.
