 | Classic Skiing (with Chariot) 25:00 [1]2 km (12:30 / km) | |
| |
| Took Rena for her first ski in the Chariot. She liked it. Crying in the van on the way. Crying while we put her in, sleeping 4 minutes later. We parked at Minnehaha Park and skied south toward the dog park. I turned early to go back to the shuttle so Molly, Jasper and Rena could ski point to point. It was much windier than I expected.
I had hoped to get out for about an hour of skiing but things didn't work out. I may still squeeze in a run after bedtime tonight. Too many days without a workout this close to the Birkie. |

| Probably a rest day, unless you count bowling. Then to the volunteer dinner for City of Lakes Loppet at the Summit Brewery. Need I say more? Oh yeah, it's being catered by Divine Swine, excellent BBQ. |

| Heart shaped pizza from Papa Murphy's. What a great marketing idea. It tastes good too. |

| Running 10:00 [4]1.3 mi (7:41 / mi) | |
| |
| My class wanted to race me to Newell Park and back. 3 were ahead by 1 block, 1 by two blocks and none by 3 blocks. Apparently working out and not smoking allow you to run farther than smoking and not working out. We bet 100 push ups, but when we got back, no one remembered the bet. |

| Skate Skiing 55:00 [3]17 km (3:14 / km) | |
| |
| How many times has it happened? I start out feeling kind of tired, and can't get warm. I begin to think about cutting the ski short because "I should listen to my body." Then just as I am about to head back to the car everything changes. I had a great ski at Wirth. The trails were freshly groomed, I was able to get an edge and I actually felt like I was skiing well by the end.
It is such a cool place to ski. Hills, some technical turns, and all right next to city traffic. |

| North End Classic |
| Skate Skiing 1:13:00 [3]21 km (3:29 / km) | |

| Decided to head south from OO to check out more of the trail. As usual the north side was in much better shape. there is full coverage, but leaves were showing in places and the south facing hills will be in real danger with any warmer temps. The snow was faster today, and it was the first time in what seemed like forever that I have skied without a bunch of layers. |
