Running (trail paved) 1:09:06 [4] 7.18 mi (9:37 / mi) +200m 8:51 / mi
shoes: NB 1060
Up north, solo
35F, deep blue clear skies, very little wind. Again, AMAZING weather, for pretty much anything you;d want to be outdoors.
Trail was almost dry, some patches of ice here and there. I went a bit slow on the way up, but then I accelerated on the way down as usual (I think I did the half way down in 30 min, but can't tell John about this or he'll make me run a half marathon in 2 hours). My arch complained a bit on the way down, had to stop a bit. I hope everyone was healthy enough today to get a good workout in this!

Skiing (cross-country) 1:30:00 [2]
Green bush, purple loop with Greg
Sunny, 30F, perfect deep blue ski, WOW!
The cramped quad bothered me only first 20-30 min till it loosened up. greg thought me one more thing today, besides the poles: lifting top of ski while balancing on the back of it, cause my (left) tip of the ski was always dragging. I think I made a little more progress since two days ago. It's impossible to imagine what a workout that is. I can only go like 100' now without stopping...
I need a bit of rest, but I can't wait to do it again. bye-bye, winter blues! bring on the snow!! Oh, yeah!
Update cold: almost gone. some sniffleing (ok, I'm expert in blowing nose by now ;)
Update ankle; when it's not the top is the outside. Now that is a stubbonish ankle

Stretch/Strength (body pump) 1:00:00 [3]
shoes: NB 1060
The usual..except...EXCEPT my left quad cramped up greatly during the lunges! Ooooohhh.... man, I'm a bit worried I can't ski tomorrow. I can't go up or down the stairs on it now...
train pretend (Zumba) 50:00 [0]
shoes: NB 1060
I had my quad in pain, so I just did it very low key, for entertainment.

Skiing (cross-country) 1:30:00 [2]
Lapham, on the lit trails, with Greg
I decided I'm not a complete looser and I could give skating one more chance. Tried it last year once with marco and maja with no luck. well, maybe greg has more patience cause I'm actually feeling a bit more confident this time. Fell only a couple times (on the flat:)
The word of the day: "work those poles, Pole Engineer!!" :)

Men Falls.
New instructor - uncool. I didn't enjoy it much and we'll proly skip it in the future. Maybe cause I'm feeling kinda sick and tired.
Ankle is not as bad, but still hurting. Top = very little, outside = a bit
Cold = seems to get better. FL definetely did a lot of good.
