| Long run day; I did this whole run at 133 heart rate - really slow! It was excruciating, especially since it is raining so hard here that the trails are literally running like rivers! Ankle deep mud in places and slippery, technical trails in others. A very interesting run. I am getting very tired of rain. |

| Another slow run! These slow runs are getting tedious. Thank goodness track is tomorrow. Followed the run with 1/2 hour of strength and stretching.
I swam this morning, and I think that I saw a tiny bit of progress today; feeling pretty hopeful about swimming at the moment.

| Nice night for a track workout! Partly clear with no wind, no rain, no snow. A fullish moon and 37 degrees. Kind of perfect! warm up with drills for 3 miles, dynamic stretches, a sprint workout, an easy mile or so, then 1.5 at tempo pace. Then a mile at marathon pace, because I have to remember what that pace is all over again (marathon April 10). Cool down.

| Skate ski day! I love skate ski day. Snow was a bit warm, but I had actually put the right wax on the skis for a change, so no problem for me. Skated for 2 hours, with 1,018 feet of elevation gain, 11.75 miles. Funny, but it really never seems like that many miles while I am skating. I am always impressed by the mileage. I did easy heart rate training on the flats to warm up, then did a few hill (BIG HILL) climbs, keeping the heart rate in the threshold range. More easy training, and finished with 4X4 minute tempo sprints on the flats. I have figured out how to get some real power out of the skis now, and can really go fast on these sprint bits. Next time, I will measure them separately on Garmin and see just how fast I am going! Enjoy the weekend everyone!
