Sunday 122808 8 miles (plus some snow shoeing)

Snowshoe walk with family in the afternoon

Got in some (15 minutes) core work.

Evening ... we got all set up for skiing for tomorrow so I ran back from town via the Beaver Ridge Road. For what it is worth, it is 3 miles from downtown to the entrance pull off to the NF. There is a fair amount of climbing in this run for a road run.

Week in review

W - 11 miles, trails (100 min)
Th - 10 miles, ended with 8 x 20 second hill strides (69 min)
Fr - 10 miles, @ alt (112 min)

Su - 7 miles (66 min)

week - 59 miles, 541 minutes
month - 274 miles, 2209 minutes

Good basic week ... feel a bit in transition with the holidays, in between races and goals, the weather ... all fine. This week was nearly all easy running for me with some strides for fun. 50-70 seems pretty easy for me to get ... the mileage was a touch low this week but the minutes where they were supposed to be. Will look to begin the bump up next month to 80s and change regularly. This next week will be a bit of a down week as well ... with expected skiing tomorrow and Tuesday. Ought to get back into the swing of a normal schedule around Wednesday or so.
