Up early....I know, I can't believe it either :) Did the Urban Trail Loop with the Newtons: Ronnie, Chad and George. It was a particularly nice morning! Almost 40. If it wasn't for the wind, it would've been perfect winter running. Trudged through the snow, but it was pretty well tracked out so it wasn't bad either. Almost makes me want to do it again soon. I didn't start my Garmin after the first stop for Ronnie to fix his yak trax, so I lost a couple miles along the way, but AP: 9:36 (for the six/eight that got recorded). I'm happy with that. Maneuvering through the snow isn't easy on my ankles and calves, so it takes a lot more effort and slow going for me. It was just plain nice to be out! I was glad I made the effort to get up! Slept for a couple hours then hit the gym. Spin class - good hard climbing and speed work...while climbing! TRX class - resistance class that uses your body weight. I see it as the public gym's answer to cross-fit training. Stations that you work your way through. It is a really good whole body workout. Always good to have something new! PM: Met Kristy at the gym and ran the track for 3 miles with her. Two together (one with the stroller, until hubby came to relieve me), then walked a few and then finished up. Kristy is a biker and getting into tris. She has had knee surgeries that prevent her from running long distances or high speeds, but she is working hard! Plus, it is good company :) Full day at the gym and afterward went to dinner with the family. I liked the evening family workout. Boys rock climbed and played, dad walked, Lauren swam and I ran. Can't get much better than that!
