We got more snow over the last two days and there hasn’t been many plows out on the roads. As you can imagine, the running trails are way down on the priority list. I will classified this race as TOUGH. Running knee deep in snow is NEVER fun. It was super fun though!
Paul and his wife, Lana, Annette and her family came out for the event. No pictures of me again. I really need to run with people who can take a decent picture. (Maybe I am just too picky!) Today was also the final day of the #RWRunStreak. Yay! Well done to those who met the challenge with success!
BACK TO MARATHON TRAINING
It’s been about three weeks since I ran the Tucson Marathon. Rest and recovery time is OVER. I’m excited to get back into the training groove. Calgary is 150 days away. It may seem like a lot of time but it’s not! There’s so much snow on the ground that it’s nearly impossible to do any quality tempo runs. Sigh. I’ve decided to give the Run Less, Run Fast program a shot. According to my App, I should start the training on Feb. 6. (Crossing my fingers the snow will be gone!)
This month I am going to keep up my fitness and endurance through building my mileague gradually and strength training. I also hope to get back to Crossfit but I am having a tough time shelling out so much money each month. (I’ll keep you posted.)
How did you spend the first day of 2014?
I spent it in the Ottawa River. Well around 10 seconds of it at least….
Nice job on getting out there even when the conditions weren't great. The city of Calgary keeps the pathways along the river pretty clear which is so nice! If you ever want to venture to Calgary for a run together, you are more than welcome 🙂 Plus I have extra room if you don't feel like driving back the same day.
Good luck on your training, I cannot wait to hear your thoughts on RLRF!! Happy New Year!
I'm super picky about pictures too – or just really self-conscious maybe? =) Happy New Year – and glad I found another running blog!
