AM - 30 minutes very easy, Tenderfoot Mtn. in Salida. Traded being battered by winds in a tent or scrunched up in the backseat for a warm bed. Awoke to a form of frozen precipitation I can't really identify falling heavily. A cross between snow and hail, pea-sized nodules everywhere. Made for interesting traction on the trail, not as slippery as I would have expected.
PM - 45 minutes, Methodist Mountain. Out along the powerline access road, back along Little Rainbow trail. Visited this spot on the recommendation of the hostel owner, glad I did as it was an interesting spot with varied terrain. Some steep rolls here and there, lots of twists and turns as well.

Found myself getting pooped out near the end, cut the length of the run short a bit. The morning's whatever it was still on the ground but more compacted. Overast and the wind continues blasting away, a constant companion for this spring sojourn. I've made my peace with it at this point although having indoor accommodations for the duration of the trip undoubtedly has something to do with that.
