 | Skate Skiing 1:30:00 [3] | |
| |
| Finally got out for a ski!! Went out on the lake and then made my way up the lake inlet (partially frozen over and probably very dangerous) but then back onto solid (and very rocky) ground and then up the hill bushwacking and trailblazing. It was a fun, nice sunny day and a good adventure. Though I wish that I had waxless classic skis or something, because bushwacking is rather difficult on skate skis. |

| So, the whole idea here, was to take a much needed complete training break and to come back into the training season very refreshed and motivated for the next season. It worked! Both Kristoffer and I were very excited to start training again, starting New Years Day for an easy run around the lake.
But, on the way out to the market for some dinner food that New Years morning, a catastrophic turn of events landed us in the ER instead. There was a deadly patch of ice at the end of our walk, which Kristoffer was unlucky enough to find. He ended up very badly spraining or tearing several things in his ankle and is now on crutches for a while. And then, with all the other things going on, holiday and family stuff, I still have yet to get out there for that easy run, or even some skating on the lake...and forget about xc skiing...it's all ice and rocks (but there's no such thing as global warming!) One of these days it'll happen...training. |

| Running 27:30 [3] | |
| shoes: Soloman Goretex |
| Finally got out for that easy run around the lake. It was a little after 7pm when I started and the moon wasn't even half full, but still incredibly bright coming through the fog that settled around the lake. I took the headlamp, but only turned it on once when a car came by. (Yea, only one car!) I can't tell how fast I run in the dark, and was pleased that I was only 4 mins slower than my fastest time around this loop. Not so bad for being my first training run in a few months and in slippery, snowy conditions. A good start anyway. |
