cold cold

Cold, cold Saturday AM run!!  I got a little later start than I wanted to but was still the 1st person at the HOL.  I've been using the tech-no-logie in my phone lately.  The music app to be specific.  It's cool and weird at the same time.  Once I get the music going it's pretty cool but it's just alien screwing with the logistics of it all, ear pieces etc..  I've been thinking it would be pretty cool to have it for the night portion of the 24hr in March.  I may need to get different ear buds though.  Midway thru my run I was starting to get a reverb during my footfalls that got a little annoying.  My ears could have been stopped up too.  They haven't been quite right since my sickness and the elevation change on our trip to west Texas.

So, I'm chugging along and I get to Twin Falls where I'm really hoping the water will be low enough for a dry easy crossing.  I first go to the point where Rick and I used to cross but there is no way so I go around the corner upstream a bit and see that it's looking pretty good to stay dry.  The water was flowing heavily between a couple of big rocks but getting across looked very doable.  I had to commit to a fairly lengthy step out though.  Here goes nothing and BAM, SLOSH. In the water!!  The air temp was 26-28 degrees.  I fumbled around as my right leg also went in to the knee.  My main concern at this point is NOT going under completely, keeping my spare phone dry and not submerging my 2 hand bottles.  SUCCESS!!  Only feet and legs.  But my damn feet are going to be cold, cold for a good while.  Oh well, it all worked out and I had another good out and back in the Barton Creek Greenbelt.
