train pretend (roller blade) 1:00:00 [1] 7.0 mi (8:34 / mi)
Up and down - solo
It was just too nice to stay inside.
Not the smartest choice of "cross-training"(roller bladin) as it turns out it uses same muscles as skating skiing. And now I know exactly why my thighs and bottom hurts (I thought I fell or something before). I can see how this can be a good practice, especially if you take long strides.

Running (trail paved) 2:00:00 [2] 10.0 mi (12:00 / mi)
shoes: NB 1060
Up north - with Jeremy - AWESOME temps
Ran on shorts and t-shirt in February. I mean, in WI, this is not gonna happen soon... It was great.
We took it real easy, as this was the easy long run, and I was in relative pain from my prev skiing sessions. Well, Jeremy wwas not really willing to go a lot faster (here, I can totally put the blame on him). We went a bit father then 10m, but battery was dead, so no data. Also, first time I had to stop at the gas station, glad it was there.

Skiing (cross-country) 1:30:00 [2]
Lapham peak - with Greg - awesome temps
There is definite progress. Getting a bit faster and a bit more curageous. therefor more falling. We took the headlamps and did the easier part of the unlit trails over the road. Loved the rollercoaster!
And yes! I finally went on that downhill from the 2 tier down, 1st time after the big spectacular fall with marco and maja, when I thought that was the scariest ever. Not anymore! I loved it!

Skiing (cross-country) 1:30:00 [2]
Lapham peak - with Greg - awesome temps
I think there is progress. I'm definetely faster than first time last week.
I'm still sliding like crazy, so, per Greg advise, I'll try renting some boots next time. Now, I think the fact I just started this, has a bit to do with the fact i look like bambi on ice while skating. specially up hill, ha-ha-ha!! maybe I should be recorded for future years of entertainment to come.
also, the left foot is just lazy picking up that ski, but I'll get it...
I want to go ice skating so bad, cause when I ski I try to do the motions and I can't and then get frustrated. Maybe I'll squeeze it in the weekend somewhere...
