| at weston, mixed intensity. I went off the groomed area to break up the monotony. harder to keep the effort up without a good track. |

| classic after dark at weston. the original plan was to ski with alex, but after 2 minutes she decided it was too cold (in fairness it was 15F and windy with the snowmakers blowing in our faces, and she's not good enough yet to easily work up a sweat) so I drive her home and came back. it took about 20 mins for my fingers to thaw out after I first got going again... I skied until close (6) which was perfect because I wore myself out nicely by then. it seemed like I had a good rhythm at times. |

| so, it seems like for now I can run at this pace without fear of re-injuring my back. why now? could be any of these... (on a scale of ? to ???)
- back is just "healing" ??? (yeah right)
- the continued practice of PT exercises has finally paid off ?
- the recent addition of classic skiing has loosened my hip flexors ??
- the recent re-additon of catchingfeatures is training me to avoid trees ???
- the very recent addition of pilates (which is a lot like my PT stuff) is helping ???
- I've been running in the middle of the day ??
- the pace is faster (I've been running with mark, who is a ~4:19 miler) ??
- I haven't been running in the forest much lately ???
in any case, let's keep our fingers crossed for continued improvement through the next few weeks (and the spring season) |
