Snowshoe Revenge

Yesterday breaking trail took a huge effort.   Made a total of  passes over my 1K of trail and it was just starting to get a touch easier when I packed it in.  Once again today I woke up after about 5 hours of sleep ,  had breakfast ,  tried to go back to sleep but wasn't successful so what the heck I decided throw the Snowshoes on again.  It was a whole lot easier but still a little tough.  Logged a total of 4.1 km in 59 minutes.

5@5

5K @ 5am more or less the usual way.   I am tired!

Wired Wednesday

A good dumping of snow made for a rather messed up day.     Couldn't get into to work at midnight our road was impassible.   Slept some overnight and got up with the Sun to do Snow.  Finished in good time then loaded up the car and headed to Blue for a few hour of Alpine Skiing.   Got home after noon and had a bite before heading out for a Snowshoe Run.    I dont think I have ever put out as much effort as I did today taking nearly 25 minutes to cover the first K ... YIKES.   I walked the first K then tried to run albeit rather slowly on the second lap but that was it.   Now I do have a really good trail broke in the knee deep snow so lap 3 would have been a little easier but I was exhausted and called it a day heading home logging 2.3Ks in 49 minutes!!!!!   I had no problem cathing a few hours of sleep late in the afternoon!

Check out the avg cadence .... 57 spm lol

Tuesday Trail - 2nd Run

I am a little behind on the blog ... stupid snow,  stupid night shift!

Slept less then 4 hours ... rather lousy sleep after Mid 1.  Strangely enough I woke up and felt like going for a trail run.  It was just starting to snow and all that was required was the Gortex ,  Gaitors and Yaktrax and I was good logging 5.5Ks.

In like a Lion...not!

3am and mid #1 cold turkey!   Just a little 5Ker the usual way to start the new month.

Weigh in ... 173 lbs,  a little light for late winter.

February 2016 Totals

February - 300.8 km
YTD       - 539.7 km

Ran a total of 32 times ...

Snowshoe - 5 Runs 31.8 km
Treadmill - 17 Runs 103 km
Track        - 3 Runs 125 km
Trail         - 6 Runs 41 km

There were no races this month.  I was suppose to do the Oracle Race but was a DNS.   I was happy with the distance I covered and the 3 long runs at the Y were very good.  I am pretty much where I need to be now and should be able to increase the volume a little bit each of the next 2 months.  

Leap Run

Marked the leap day with a 7.3 km run looping the backyard trail.   The weather was really windy and really snowing hard but I was sheltered by the hill and heavy cedars so it was really kind of neat.   The surface was rock hard after the thaw/freeze and it was quite uneven very good training for ITT LOL!
