Running (Easy run) 1:00:00 [1] 7.0 mi (8:34 / mi)
Easy run w/ Sarah around E'town...was super snowy and sluggish...but we had some fun! :) Glad to at least get in some miles considering the weather.
Walking (Snowshoe hike) 2:00:00 [1] 6.0 mi (20:00 / mi)
Snowshoe hike w/ Sarah around Mt. Tom - we broke trail for about half the hike. Went up and over Goat Peak and around the snowy wonderland. :) At times we were over our knees in snow...what fun!!!
Walking (Snowshoe hike) 1:00:00 [1] 3.0 mi (20:00 / mi)
Snowshoe hike w/ Steph around Amherst - on bike path and through Amherst College trails. We set track for a bit of it (~1 mile?). Was so much fun!!!

Note
Yeah...with the weather, it wasn't a day to do anything (other than work). Didnt' get any training in. Going to have to modify tomorrow's run also...won't be doing much mileage or speed on the roads for a few days.

Running 1:30:00 [1] 10.5 mi (8:34 / mi)
Easy morning run w/ Kelsey around Noho. We just kept gabbing and tacked on a few more miles then I thought we were going to...but I also was just so tired and out of it that I wasn't a great conversationalist or anything. Oh well - the calm before the storm - so I wanted to get in what I could before I have to work for the next many hours...

Running (Intervals) 1:10:00 [3] 9.0 mi (7:47 / mi)
Did early morning run w/ Abby and Laura - Abby wanted to do workout ('slow' by her terms...not slow at all!), so we warmed up just over 1 mile, then did 400, 800, 400, 800, 400, 800, 400 around a neighborhood, so there were ups and downs. I don't know the pace, but it felt pretty swift. Cooled down and tacked on a few extra miles with Laura.
Running (Easy run) 1:00:00 [1] 7.5 mi (8:00 / mi)
Easy run w/ Sarah and Dana around Amherst. Felt good, nice to just stretch out hte legs. My right hamstring is super tight (happened halfway through this morning's workout with Abby), so I was happy to run easy and warm up the muscle. Hope it feels better soon.

Running (Amity Hill) 1:30:00 [2] 11.0 mi (8:11 / mi)
Easy run around Amherst for just over an hour (with dusting of fresh snow on the ground...just enough to make things slick)...then I met up with the Amity Hill crew and did a few repeats with them before I headed to work. I'm so bummed that Donna and Dave bailed on the morning run, but they sure got me out of bed early to get in a longer run...so the motivation still worked out.
Erging (Erg class) 1:10:00 [3] 14.5 km (4:50 / km)
Erging class - tough one! Did 15 min on/5 min off...x 3. I wasn't feeling it last night and didn't seem to have much power, but at least I got in a good long erg.

Running (Indoor Track Workout) 1:10:00 [4] 9.0 mi (7:47 / mi)
Indoor track workout - redid the ladder (first workout of hte season) to see our improvement...and I felt great! Something clicked for me, and I was holding 6:00 or sub-6:00 pace for the entire workout! 400 - 1:30, 800 - 3:00, 1200 - 4:30, 1200 - 4:28, 800 - 2:55, 400 - 1:24. Recovery of 400m between each. I decided to really just go for it and not hold back, thinking about the next interval or anything...and it worked! What a breakthrough for me, I hope to keep it up, because I know I have it in me!
Running (Easy run) 1:25:00 [1] 9.5 mi (8:57 / mi)
Easy run w/ Frank B. around Whiting Reservoir...we did one Mt. Tom climb, just to mix it up. Great to run with him. After my run, I felt naseaus for the rest of the night...don't know what's up...this happens, but mostly in the summer.

Erging (Erg Class) 55:00 [3] 11.0 km (5:00 / km)
Erg class - felt hard, but I think because we were at a lower (20-24) rate, I just didn't feel like I had the power. Oh well...did 8 x 4 min on/1 min active rest, focusing on more power at a lower rate.
Walking 1:15:00 [1] 4.0 mi (18:45 / mi)
Easy walk w/ Steph around Amherst. Felt good to shake out the legs...
