A couple of days off .... sort of.
Swapped the laces for buckles this week and took a couple of days off running to ski. Today , I skied in the morning then did a 4.8 km snowshoe run in the afternoon. used the low profile running snowshoes. There was a little more snow then I expected so it really slowed me down for the first couple of laps.

A wee bit slippery
Maybe a cm or two of the fluffiest snow but it made things a little slick on the backyard trail slowing me down just a little. Nonetheless I did get in 5 laps on my meal break today.

Trail Tuesday ... tough slugging.
Only got 4 laps in on the backyard trail today on my meal break. Not enough snow for snowshoes but too much snow for trail shoes made for some yough slugging. Normally I would get 5 laps in on my lunch break.

Little stomp Sunday
6 laps , 5.6 km in the Dion Running Snowshoes today. It was -12C with a -19C windchill. Wore a 2/3 zip merino wool top with socks to match as well as the adidas running pants, long sleeve tech T over wool then my shell. Buff on the neck , compression hat on the head with a ball cap over and to round it off wore my new Swany gloves.... most amazing handware! So I was feeling the cold pressing but not too bad , felt like I was sweating but I wasnt too much. Any colder then -12C and it will be another thermal type layer over the wool base. The trail is now good for shoes , the 10 laps over the past couple of days was sufficient to pack it down again...trail groomed!

Extra Value Run
4.8 kn of sink, slip and slide ...got my moneys worth out of todays run. Just enough fresh snow to make it a much greater effort but not enough to switch to snowshoes, I expect that's going to change tomorrow.

Hello February
5 laps done in Trail Shoe on the backyard trail during my meal break today. WFH next 3 weeks.
January Totals
January 177.6 km
It was a super month of running , no long ones just short its all about staying " run ready ". I will strat doing long runs again when the weather gets warmer or when a 50 ker is 8 weeks out...which ever comes first. Highlight of the month was being able to run my loop in tail shoes. After the large float then small float snowshoes outings the trail became more like a sidewalk, a rather uneven sidewalk nonetheless. Also on a positive is taking it all outside in January and being pretty comfortable. The pandemic has got me off the track and treadmill and onto the trail and that is a really good thing! Will admit I do miss those long track runs at the Y.
Summary
34 "Runs" done and only 2 rest days
Road around APK 16 X = 85 km
Trail snowshoe 3 X 12.8 km
Trail shoes 18 X 72.8 km
