New Years Revolution Run at the Oval.  I was allowed to walk for 2 hours - threw some running intervals in.  Here is my race report: http://adventures-in-running-with-maurine.blogspot.com/2013/01/round-and-round-and-round-she-goes.html

Achilles tendon is flaring up in the foot I had surgery on, so I am supposed to ride the recumbant elliptical.  Giving myself 4 miles for an hour.  Lower body weight training started again today.

I couldn't help it. 1 mile easy running on the treadmill at 4 mph.  Then 45 minutes on the recumbant followed by lots of ice and massage.  I'm not feeling any worse then next day, so might try the 1 mile 3x per week.

Walked 4 or so miles to the library and then a church meeting. Did not try to put too much stress on the Achilles.

Race: Kahtoola Bigfoot Snowshoe Festival 5K (3.1 Miles) 52:35:00, Place overall: 9, Place in age division: 3

Got the okay from my doctor to do showshoeing this week (of course - he also said it would be fine because people "don't snowshoes non-stop without breaks").  Signed up for the 5K at the Kahtoola Bigfoot Showshoe Festival. Figured the 10K would be too much.  And I wanted to get above the muck.

Really foggy when I headed out. And the course was icy - so not groomed and you had to try to stay in the ruts or break the crust off the main trail.

There were 25 total participants in the 5K.  I took 9th overall, 6th in women and 3rd in my age group. It was fun learning how to snowshoe.  Biggest complaint - when the 9:00 races went off there were a bunch of people who were up near the front that had no intention of running a step and were walking side by side with friends.  Get a clue folks! Start at the back.

For most of the race I alternated running 100 steps with walking 100 steps. 

I had fun and did another lap of the 5K when I was done.

Next year - I plan on trying the 10K.

Foot was hurting earlier in this week so I took a couple of days off.

Walk .5 mile at 4 mph, Run .5 mile at 5 mph. Rinse and repeat.
