I’m getting wimpy. This morning when I took Suki out I kept willing her to hurry up because I was freezing. So we get inside, I feed her, pour my coffee before it’s had enough time to steep because I want something warm, and go to check the weather… “Only down to 9° Celcius?! It must be colder than that!” I exclaim, horrified that I feel so cold.
You have to understand, when I was living in Alberta I had an almost manic-like urge to take up running just before winter hit. I was out running on the day it hit -40° before wind chill, when the Edmonton airport was the coldest place on earth. My ears were so frostbitten when I got home that I had killed off a few millimeter’s worth of skin layers. I considered that run exhilarating and refreshing.
My weak coffee feels like some sort of symbolism for my will right now…
Alright, onto the proper Wordless Wednesday stuff. Here’s the other photos from our hike this weekend:

Looks like a pretty awesome hike! 🙂 Happy Wordless Wednesday.
It’s one of my favourite hikes to do. Happy WW to you too!
Wow! That looks like a great place to go hiking… cold weather or not.
It is a nice place to go hiking. It’s not overly long but it’s a good workout because of the steep incline.
Woof! Woof! My mom LOVES coffee (about 3-4 cups a day) n she’s always cold. Looks like a FUN place to hike. Happy Wednesday. Lots of Golden Woofs, Sugar
I love coffee too! I try to limit my intake to just one cup a day, but that doesn’t always work out haha. Happy Wednesday to you too!
I’m in AB now and we are just getting into the below zero weather. I am not enjoying it.
I remember that time. I do love snow though, so when the mercury started to drop I was usually too distracted by the anticipation to think about the temperatures.
I like the snow, but not the deep freezes. The dogs feel the same I think, since they aren’t allowed to play outside in -40.
That looks such a beautiful hiking area. I am such a wimp about the cold. We plan on being in a warmer part of the world for the winter.
More than likely I’ll be spending time in Alberta this winter visiting the boyfriend’s family. On one hand it’ll be easier to go snowshoeing (albeit less exciting trails), on the other… -30 degrees. But then my bucket list has train Canadian Eskimo Dogs in the Yukon or Northwest Territories for six months on it, so Alberta is good practice haha.
