AM: Urban trail to Ft. Tuthill. Foot and hip felt the strongest yet. PT/laser combo must be helping?

PM: 75-90 min skin. Super busy with work all day but desided jet up the mountain anyway. Crazy night w. no visability, snow and thick fog. Had the mountain all to myself. Glad I invested in a good headlamp or it would have been a very interesting descent.

your skinning adventures sound really fun. i used to do a lot of night snowshoeing -- i liked to be out in the cold/dark all bundled and warm and just enjoying the quiet. in your case, you also get the benefit of a workout...i would just putter around. :) it's fun to read about what you do. you certainly know how to pack a lot of activity and adventure into every week.

Allie,

There is definitely something refreshing about being out in the snow in the evening! I like snowshoeing but they you don't get the fast descent :) I think that both skinning and snowshoeing (especially running snowshoes) are a great winter cross training for runners. Cold pavement miles can really beat up the leg so it's nice to do something to supplement mileage. I will actually look for any excuse to be in the mountains- snow or no snow :) I will look forward to following your training and progress this winter and spring! It seems like you have great things ahead!

Alicia

P.S.I am packing a lot of training/adventure into a week but sliding by with 6-7hrs of sleep and working a lot…so I need to find a balance :)
