I just got home from a long, chilly, hard, sweaty, steep, snowy ultra training run and dropped my kit on the floor in the foyer. Thump. 'I wonder how much my pack weighs?', I think. I can't wait until I am running free of the load and the layers and all of the gadgets in my upcoming race in the desert. But, I sure am grateful for all of the gear I have that keeps me happy and comfortable during winter training!
