I woke up a bit late in the morning and saw how beautiful the day is. I was really angry at myself because I didn't manage to get to the mountains anywhere. It was really too late for a serious tour, but not for mountain running.
Let's go running through Žrelo! Let this be training for the run to Triglav from Vrata, which I've been planning for so long. I start where the path to Dom pod Storžičem begins. Across the pasture to the hut I run without trouble, then I dash into Žrelo. The scree zigzag path is bad for running because it slides and you have to direct a lot of leg strength to make the shoes grip instead of speed.
Through Žrelo itself you need quite some skill in running, as everything happens quite fast and there's no time to think what you'll detach from. Elevations pile up very quickly, but not as fast as e.g. from Povelj. Maybe the only hindrance was that most holds are on the left side of the path, which bothered me because I'm right-handed and thus didn't have time to grab them.
Further along the western ridge of Storžič running is a bit easier again. No excessive exposure, but I didn't run as fast as I wanted because it's very dangerous for ankle sprain.
I run to the summit unusually rested, which is of course bad because it means the training was poor. Time also below expectations: 53 min.
I descended slowly via Škarjev rob.
Still, despite the bad training, I was satisfied because I at least used the day a bit.
LP, Bojan

Today after more than a year I ran to Storžič again specifically from Povelj. Surprised me that it was warmer at the top than in the valley. Ideal running conditions, weather without a cloud. This path is usually quite muddy, this time it was dry which allowed more precise stepping. Time quite encouraging given my form. But a bit sorry that I didn't use this ideal weather for run to Triglav since due to Švica I'm acclimatized for running at high altitudes.
See you Saturday at the Run to Črno prst. 
lp,
bojan
