AM - 3.5 miles on a trail run in Stowe.  Got some trail running shoes and ice spikes in town.  Fun run but fairly technical with snow and ice covering everything - took a digger late and tore my tights on some icy snow.   Enjoyed it all the same.

AM - 4 early cold sore miles in Stowe before breakfast and heading home.  Took nearly 2.5 miles to finally get into a normal pace.  The tumble in the snow yesterday left me a bit sore this morning.

AM - ran with Dan and Finn on the Milton Trail.  Arrived a few minutes before Dan to do a short warm up.   Felt ok after the first 1/2 mile and we covered about 4.25 miles on a chilly morning in the mid to low 30's but far warmer than I was in Vermont the last couple of days.   2100 meters of indoor rowing followed by a short yoga session.

AM - 5.25 miles with Dan and the dogs on the trail in the rain.  Slow creaky start as always but easier as the muscles warmed; rain was steady at times and at times very light; slipped on a tree branch on the ground under some leaves about halfway through and exclaimed some instant frustration at nearly falling again - and rolling my ankle - I was hesitant to run the trail today becuase of the rain and being in the dark.   But I stayed upright and completed this one unscathed.   2200 meters of indoor rowing followed by a short yoga session.

AM - 5.25 miles from Dan's house with the dogs on the horsetrail roads.  Catching a cold - woke up stuffy and sneezy.   Rosie was running slowly today when she had to be on the leash - so our pace was more moderate than normal on this route at times.  

2200 meters of indoor rowing later in the day.

AM - 5 miles on the treadmill as there was a pretty heavy rainstorm outside and I feel like I am catching a cold.   Decent run on the treadmill followed by a short yoga session.

AM - 6.2 miles on the trail with Dan and the dogs - cold front brought temps in the upper 20's but bright sunshine - had a nice run.  Cleared the trail at times of branches that had fallen with the storms over the last couple of days.
