Cold rain, snow, and some wind, part III

The snow this morning sticks to the Velux skylight window above my desk here. The thermometer on Tim's window sill registers 3 C. The snow should not stick long.

My throat itches less than yesterday morning. I drank tea and juice instead of coffee this morning. Found some chewable vitamins of Tim's in the medicine cabinet that he stopped taking a while ago. They're full of vitamin C, so I ate two of those. Still crossing my fingers.

In addition to practicing drinking a little every 4-5 km, I should've practiced peeling off layers of excess clothing during the long runs. Usually after you've sweated through a couple of layers, you have to overheat indeed to want to expose the undermost, dripping wet t-shirt and shorts to the cold. At minimum, I'll pack a throwaway fleece top, gloves, and hat.
