| an enjoyable run on snowmobile trails starting from home and going all the way up to rt-2 & 110. most of the trail was nice packed stuff, except at the beginning where only walkers and skiers had been since the last snowfall (there were snowmobile tracks there by the time I was coming back). this was tiring, but legs took much less abuse than the road would have given. |

I had times, but erased them accidentally.

| back down the hill each time. I actually took 3x rest, but for the final third of the time I was usually walking or standing, so I won't count that here. |
| Skiing (classic) 41:15 [2] | |
| ahr:140 shoes: waxless classic skis |
| skiing on the flats, not a great track, just what some other people had made earlier. this seems to hurt my ankle more than running. maybe thats how I started it. |

| after dark on the roads around home. I was hoping to have a half inch of snow covering the roads, but it was only just beginning to accumulate when I finished (although it was falling in my eyes the whole run). probably saw like 5 cars the whole time, so I mostly ran with the light off. |

| oh yeah, and I got a pump for the ankle disk. |

| twice out and back on a roughly measured undulating mile on mill st. "out" has a bit more uphill than "back". I was expecting 6-6:15, so it could be 5 or 10m short. 4x ~1mi, with 1 min rests.

| night-time run around bolton. upper outside-front of right ankle feeling gradually more abused over the last week. (it's probably not a coincidence that I rolled it in that direction a few times in the fall season) usually hurts at the beginning when going up inclines. I've been icing it. I found my inflatable dynadisc for stability training, but I need to get a needle pump to inflate it more. |

| with alex and the dogs. I was underdressed, so my hands pretty much froze. this may border on un-loggable, but it's mostly hills, and the descents made my knees hurt (less than last week though), so it must be worth something. |

| after warming up a little, I went back out running on the solid-frozen snowmobile trails in the flats and then up to road to still river and down into the oxbow wildlife sanctuary. not sure I was really supposed to be there though, since the trail was a bit sketchy, and when I came out there were a bunch of signs near the road that said something like "area closed: all public access prohibited" |

| Running (road) 53:30 [3] 7.2 mi (7:25 / mi) | |
| weight:162lbs shoes: Adidas Resp Tr X red |
| was planning to run in hayden woods, but the trail was too icy, so after one loop I went on the roads. arch feeling slightly worse compared to yesterday, but maybe because I didn't stretch it. |

Sunday Feb 13 |
| Running long (trail) 1:22:39 [2] 10.55 mi (7:49 / mi) | |
| slept:8.0 shoes: Adidas Resp Tr X red |
| exploring more harvard snowmobile trails. after running 100m out the door, I was already off the roads and would be for the next 50 mins or so. it was nice that the snowmobile tracks were there, because otherwise I definately would have felt [more] like I was trespassing at times. I suspect that some of these connections may be overgrown/closed after the winter. I meant to go shorter, but there wasn't a good time to turn around. foot felt ok except for a short period in the middle. |

| Skiing (skate) 45:45 [3] | |
| ahr:156 max:171 slept:6.0 (injured) shoes: skate skis |
| yesterday I strained some shoulder muscle in my upper back while trying to lift Alex into the air by her armpits (it seemed like a good idea at the time). it hurt quite a bit almost as soon as I put her down, and has been hurting ever since. it's slightly better now and it's not bad at all when I'm just sitting around. foot is feeling pretty good, and I scored a golf ball from mark, so I can massage it under my desk.
neither of those problems seemed to interfere very much with skiing today. I went during lunch, and it was 53F, so it was short sleeves all the way. I was pretty tired after 10 mins, so I wasn't sure how I would be able to last the planned 45 mins, but it got a bit easier once I settled in. |
Sunday Feb 6 |
| X-Training (walking) 55:00 [1] | |
| slept:7.0 weight:161lbs (injured) |
| I've been icing/stretching my arch, and trying to keep my shoes on (i.e. not walking barefoot). it felt better, but tight this morning, so I'm still taking it easy in hopes of a full and quick recovery. I walked with alex for about an hour (she goes pretty fast). it felt fine, except for when we started going up a steeper road, so I turned around then. probably some skiing tomorrow, and then back to running tuesday. |

| slept:6.0 (injured) |
| arch still tender today. looks like a mild case of plantar faciitis. I haven't been sleeping especially well this week, so maybe I just need some rest (along with the standard treatment). too bad, it was a really nice day (53F). |
Friday Feb 4 |
| Running (trail) 41:17 [3] 5.16 mi (7:59 / mi) | |
| ahr:161 shoes: Adidas Resp Tr X red |
| at lunch. left arch was feeling irritated this morning, and I was considering taking the day off, but instead I did 4 loops in hayden woods (5-6 inches of soft-packed snow), which felt fine. it feels better now, I probably just need to stretch it. |

| Skiing (skate) 36:30 [2] | |
| ahr:149 shoes: skate skis |
| a fun session after dark. the skate lanes were packed pretty hard, so I had a much easier time than last week. balance is not very good though; I couldn't go much harder since I was mostly trying not to trip myself. a bunch of fire trucks showed up right as I was leaving. not sure what that was about. |
