| A great ski on the Birkie trail. Headed north from OO, and it was cold. Took a chance and used my good skis. No problem. the trail was in great shape, and there was even a classic track most places. Skied to the powerlines and back. With about 5 k left I started to get tired and cold, but luckily came across another skier. We talked the whole way back and the distance flew by. Then home to a sauna. Lights out before 8:30. |

| Ran to work so that Molly can pick me up on the way out of town. Heading to Hayward, but I am not planning on racing. I decided to try and get one long ski in this weekend instead. |
Thursday Feb 8 |
| Skate Skiing 41:00 [4]11 km (3:44 / km) | |
| |
| Got caught in traffic on the way to Wirth so I didn't have as much time as I expected. Skied harder than I have in quite a while. It was fun. The conditions are still very good, and the snow was faster. |
Wednesday Feb 7 |
| Running 38:29 [2]4.5 mi (8:33 / mi) | |

| Happy that I got out for this one instead of staying on the couch. Went out after I put Jasper to bed. 0 degrees and about -20 windchill. Some of it was a bit of a struggle, but after I turned for home I was having fun, and didn't realize I had made it all the way home until I kind of just showed up at my gate. |
Tuesday Feb 6 |
| Skate Skiing 1:00:00 [3]16 km (3:45 / km) | |

| Skied from Wirth Beach. The trails were excellent. The little bit of powder over the base made for great skiing. Skied the Flower Gaardens and two loops at the Quaking Bog. Distance is estimate. |

| (rest day) |
| Could have gone for a run, but my eyes were bugging me a bit from Sunday. Iddidn't feel like going back out, and I don't belong to a gym, so no workout. |

| City of Lakes Loppet |
| Skate Skiing (City of Lakes Loppet) 1:48:00 [3]28 km (3:51 / km) | |
| |
| Very cold and windy. Got to the start 3 minutes before we took off. My goal was to ski very easy and do no damage to lungs or skin. Mission accomplished. I could probably call this a 2 intensity had it not been for the hills. I've skied harder this season for sure. I thought the course was excellent. Only 1 icy section. It is one of those days it is good to be done. I was happy that I stuck with my plan, but as I look at the results it is tough to see people I usually beat ahead of me. Not the year for PR's. |
