Feeling pretty recovered already.  Actually I felt good enough Monday to ski hard all day in the fresh powder. Glad I did 'cause it was one of the best days of the year. Never really sore, just a little fatigued and some niggles in my hips that attribute to running in my Hoka's on Saturday.  Got out for a nice easy 40 minutes tonight, felt alright, except I forgot how much I don't care for running on snow packed trails, missing dirt!

Amen! I love running on snow (with spikes), but by this point in the year I'm pretty sure I've had my fill and am certainly ready for dirt!! Glad to hear you were able to hit the slopes.

Hoka's... eh? I'm starting to look for a new trail shoe..Cascadia's have been pretty faithful... recommendations?? Spring where art thou?!

So ready for dirt. I'm sick of wearing three layers,gloves, hat, and the works. I want to go back to shorts and no shirt.

The dirt tease the last couple of weeks up here really spoiled me, almost all of my runs for 2 weeks were snow free, now....well...ready for dirt.

Nick, recomendations...what fits is what work in my opinion, if Cascadia's fit wear'em I hear they are a great shoe, though having some Hoka's in the closet to wear once in a while isn't a bad idea. I really like mine, not all the time, but when I feel the need, I love'em. They are spendy, but I think the logevity claim is pretty accurate, I've put 300+ miles on mine and no worse for wear.
