Last night it was minus fifteen Celsius. Last night was also the first night of my running clinic. We didn’t run five kilometers yet. Actually, I just stuck it into runningmap.com and came up with 2.75 clicks — but not bad for my first serious run in a couple months, and my first serious cold-weather winter run since high school oh-so-long-ago.

There are five people in the class, plus an instructor. Three of us were dressed in black. I think there might be a small spike in the sales of reflective clothing over the next few days. Not a big spike. But a spike.
