A.M. went up to the ski area before work today. Love being the only people in line for the chairlifts (lasted for almost the entire time we were there). Only did about 5 green runs on telemark. Definitely can tell that my right quad/knee is not as strong this year as it has been in previous years.. right turns were just ugly. Overall, pretty pleased with the effort and both knees felt okay after about an hour. 

Mid-A.M. worked from home today and interspersed working with stretching and strength exercises.

Mid-P.M. took the pup for our usual trail run loop, except I hiked instead of ran. Most of the snow was packed down from our snowshoe yesterday, but some sections were unbroken (past where we snowshoed yesterday). Unfortunately I only wore the mico-spikes- so I was post-holing a bit. The knee started to hurt on our way home.. might have overdone it a bit today. Lots of ice, ibuprofen, and stretching tonight.

A.M. worked early

P.M. bike 1/2 hr, weights- bench, lat pull downs, bicep curls, overhead press. Stretched for 1/2 hour, foam rolled for 5 mins, and worked quads, hips, and glutes. All done while hubby made an excellent gluten free, vegetarian lasagna.. yum!

A.M. stretched and worked hamstrings, hips, glutes, and core. Plus plank and side plank 30 sec x3. Hiked with the pup for about 2 miles. The wind had covered the trail with drifts of snow pretty successfully, which meant I was breaking trail most of the way. I have no idea why I didn't think to use x-country skis or snowshoes..ah-well.

A.M. Chopped the rest of our wood for about 2.5 hours. 

P.M. Snowshoeing with friends. They showed me a new trail new our house that I am excited to run once I can run again. Probably hiked about 3 miles.

Later P.M. Ice skating! I haven't ice skated since I was in high school and wow, have I missed it. I was a little shaky starting out, but felt better and better as the night went on. I do not even know how I was doing turns and such, I guess it is just muscle memory. Crazy how that works. I think we skated for about two hours.. such a blast and definitely want to go back soon.
