Nice hour and a half on the trails tonight.  Lots of up and down.  Felt great to be out in the hills in the cold and dark.  I have really started to like night running, the whole world is reduced to the globe of light in front of you. Nobody around just you and the trees and snow, plus, for some reason, running slow feels fast! Good news for me is the knee is calming down alot and after 2 weeks the cold is finally gone! Good new for eveyone else, nothing for me to whine about.

Great run tonight! Started out feeling sluggish. legs felt heavy and didn't want to turn over, but I needed to get in a good hard run today and Saturday before the Red Hot 50K.  15 minutes and 500 vertical into climbing Malan's the switch flipped and everything felt easy.  Felt like I floated up the trail, tagged the top turned around and flew down, tagged the sign at the bottom turned around and ran the whole second lap.  Never been able to run an entire second lap so I was very pleased running the final steps to the top and looking out over the lights of town.  Turned on my lights and ran faster on the second descent than the 1st. Another bonus, tonight was the first time I have ever done this trail and not passed anybody!  All by myself out there.  What a blast! one of those rare benchmark runs where everything seems to come together.  10.4 miles 8800 vert up/down.  4400 ft of climb 1:58.

7 miles today with a lot of climb.  Pretty good week for vertical, for me anyway.  I think I totaled about 9500 ft.  Went out late in the afternoon after skiing in the morning and the snowy trails were mashed potatoes, tough to run . . . . .even worse for the knee I tweaked skiing today, AGAIN!  Even though it's my first love, I think I'm done skiing for a while this year.  I feel like I'm just learning to really run and I don't want to blow it by getting injured skiing marigal snow.  Alot of pain tonight, not too much swelling, hopefully it will cooperate this week and get back to 80-90% for Red Hot.
