I had lots of plans. They all went out the window. I pulled over and stayed at the rain falling on my windshield.
I watched cars drive past me in both directions.
I googled “what to do in Canmore on a rainy day.”
I checked the forecast for the next couple of hours – rain. The rest of the province (according to Facebook) was embracing the snow. Surely it would reach Canmore. I did not want to be stuck on a mountain without the proper hiking gear. I learend yesterday in Banff that my gloves would not be up to the challenge.
I headed back down the winding road to some trails near the Canmore Nordic Centre. There I spent a couple hours running and wowing the tourists with my incredible skills. No joke.
All in all it wasn’t too bad of a day. It could have been worse. I managed to get two hours of running/hiking on my feet. My right leg/foot seems to be on the mend. It didn’t hurt as much on the downhills. Yay for small miracles.
Again thanks for reading!
