I discovered a road google maps didn't know about! Well, maybe it wasn't a road. It had tire tracks for part of the way which then became footprints so maybe it was a trail. Hard to tell under a foot of snow. Slow going but super fun. I ran around the whole plateau that I've so often admired from my front porch and managed to turn it into a loop! Tried to run faster on the snow-free roads than I had yesterday, even for the parts that curved precipitously uphill. Also stopped for 15 minutes to look at the stars and see what constellations I could identify. Then realized I was getting very cold in my wet running clothes and had to start moving again. The air up there on the plateau is so clear and I could literally see the layer of smog over Sarajevo that I'd been running up into the hills to get away from. The stars were bright enough for me to count 5 of the Pleiades.
