Was going to run with my friend Shawna, but she had company fly in unexpectedly for the weekend so she rainchecked till next Sat. Luckily Jos was taking the dog up to the Bonneville shoreline trail and let me and my dogs tag along. I waaay overdressed. Because of the cold temps last week in DC, plus it snowed 19 inches at Sundance, plus all week long I was freezing....I thought it would be windy up top. I should have known. I night skiied with the kids last night and it was positively balmy. Got to the mountain top with long tights and a long sleeve shirt, gloves, etc.... and I swear it was sunny and 70 degrees by 7:30 a.m. like summer. We met up with Karen who was running up the other side of the hogsback, and then we turned around. I don't know if it's because I lived at Sundance all week (owing to the fact it was closing this weekend) or if it was the trail running, or if I'm fatigued from the marathon and travel last week or what, but I am more sore today than I was after the marathon. That trail running was rough on my hamstrings. I am going to have to turn up the running to get over skiing. I always get really bummed when the season ends. But there is spring to look forward to. |
