Like the canyon

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!

45 minute cruiser on the snow/mud.  Recoverd? mmm not totally, still feel slow and slug like.  Good 'cause, race or not, this is supposed to be an easy week anyway.  Eating like a horse though. Sheesh!

Got out late for a Malan's run.  Wind was ripping up there, blowing snow and dark clouds hung low in the sky.  No one was out. My legs felt about like the weather.  Keeping a run going was going to be a blue collar slug fest, so I put on my blue collar music and ground it out. Soon enough I was singing along (as no one was out) and enjoying the grind.  Added on a little BST at the end just to get through the playlist. 

Link below is for the tunes, well a good starter song, but like a gateway drug if you like it, you'll be hooked.  HA!

Skied and hiked hard all morning, even winning the 100 yard uphill spirit in ski boots to the sweet fresh lines when the gate dropped.  Skipped lunch and pretty much breakfast too get out early, went to the gym late in the afernoon and ran an hour on the 'mill, felt like 20 miles, tired? hungry? don't know, but bluhh.

Light week, 3 runs of an hour or more and one 45 minutes. Two excellent powder days with alot of hiking and hard skiing  I guess that counts for something.  Not bad for a recovery week I guess.  Back to the good 6 day a week grind on Monday, hoping for some melted out trail.
