I woke up before the sun, ready and waiting to hit the trails. Derek unfortunately woke with a fever and flu- a rough way to start the week. I got some groceries, did yoga on the patio, and made lunch while he slept and tried to fight off his symptoms.
He was in rough shape, but mustered the strength to start our first run of the week. It was such a beautiful, sunny day, he couldn't rest, even for illness, so we set an easier pace, but still finished 27 km and 750m+ in the afternoon, running through snow, pine forest, and beside fantastic peaks.
