BRUTAL run (be we managed to enjoy it) from the top of the Swiss Trail to Peak to Peak Hwy and back, with MA and Berlin. We had planned to run down the ST to Sunset and back, but the whole route was still covered in snow. So, we opted to run down Gold Hill Road instead. Even though the sun was warm (nearly 50 degrees today and not a cloud in the sky), the winds were absolutely brutal. I could hear Andrew the whole way, cursing at them. It was gusting to at least 65, maybe 75 on occasion. Hurt so bad we frequently had to turn around and go backwards. Still, we persisted on... most of the first four miles uphill into the headwind blowing off of the divide. The return, mostly downhill and with a serious tailwind, was fast.

Berlin didn't seem to mind the winds one bit.

Glad we went! Ate spinach quiche afterwards.....

awesome trail run up to the summit of nugget hill... warm day.. I went shirtless (actually, was only 40, but....); hit snow on the upper traverse, which was just fine. enjoyed every minute of it. met a couple of EBIO students on the way down who were en route from sugarloaf to JT for a coffee....on a trail run!

freezing outside (13 at my house) so I went to hot yoga instead - GOOD CLASS!!

felt sick this morning after sleeping very poorly and eating too many pirogies with MA last night. forced myself on a run, which felt good, even though i resorted to a belly ache the rest of the day. win some lose some. that was the first and last time we will be making those things....

night time walk down the canyon. too much time in front of the computer today. bleh.

5 early morning miles at BVR. was WINDY. very windy. made for tough running. and i was sore from yoga yesterday! still, a beautiful morning... warm out there.. great sunrise.

only 5 miles, but damn, those were hard miles. all of 12 degrees outside this morning, light snow falling. BVR with MA and Berlin.
