| | My first time cross-country skiing! Went to Hyak with Justin, Jordanne, and Lisa for 6.2 lovely miles in the snow along a lake. Beautiful views. We were getting worried as there was very little snow on the drive and it was a balmy 40 degrees! I liked it, I wasn't very good (likely due to my lack of coordination) and I got some painful blisters. Want to try skate skiing next time. Sledding after! I brought my Garmin just for fun, TT: 1:45:36 AP: 17:02 Splits: 22:29 (this included about 9 falls or almost falls, no one else fell even one time, yeah, I'm awesome), 14:47, 21:02 (gummi bear break!), 16:33, 12:56, 13:52

| | PM - 6 lovely but difficult miles with Jordanne at the track. I need to thesaurus "lovely"! Hopefully this will become a regular routine of track workouts, because we all know I'm a lazy bum who doesn't like to work hard. Workout: 2 mile warmup, 6 x 400's with 400 jogging recovery, 1 mile cool down
TT: 56:12 AP: 9:13 400 Splits: 1:45, 1:44, 1:44, 1:44, 1:41, 1:43 so consistent! My quads are already sore / tired.

| | AM - 45 easy minutes on the bike trainer while watching bad tv (remember my plot to only watch bad tv while working out!) PM - 1 mile swimming, 18 laps (half mile!) without stopping, I wanted to die. Then 2 laps kicking / 4 laps nonstop until I reached 36 laps (1 mile). After I did all the leg and ab machines plus lunges until exhaustion, which didn't take long. I got a new swimsuit thanks to a random clearance impulse buy at REI. Everyone at the pool thanks me, since the other one was a whopping 12 years old (yes, it was my "good suit" while I was on the swim team in high school).

PM - Sadly, it didn't work out for Jordanne to come and Lisa came but Denali wouldn't stop crying so she had to leave. So this run was less lovely than it might have been! Decided to do an impromptu tempo repeat workout (since I'm not in good enough shape to do a longer tempo!). 1 mile warm-up, then 3x1 mile at half marathon pace with 1 mile recovery after each, for 7 miles total. The "on" miles were all mostly downhill, thus that really is probably my half marathon pace, about 8:00 when adjusted for downhill. So in contrast, the "off" miles were mostly uphill. TT: 1:01:11 AP: 8:44 "On" Splits: 7:42, 7:41, 7:34 "Off" Splits: 9:56, 9:19, 9:13, 9:43 Afterwards I wanted to ice both my shins and both my knees so I decided to suck it up and FINALLY do my very first ice bath (with no ice). It was HORRIBLE, but still better than I thought it would be. I will do it again someday, with more water, and maybe, just maybe, actual ice.

| | PM - 1 mile swimming, 15 laps without stopping, but did it all with only 2 kick breaks, so I cut my time down to about 37 minutes. |

| | AM - 6 horrible horrible miles. I don't know why this run was so hard (I wanted to do 10-12 and am surprised I even made it to 6 since I almost stopped after 1). Was down at the dog park and had Justin come get me, it was that bad. My legs just felt like LEAD. Ugh. |
