Back on the home trails. Snow on N field only. Hit it with teeth of groomer early when things were still frozen solid and brittle, busted up frozen granular and chipped ice a little. Ended up with convoluted maze of paths, 50% granular, 25% still frozen and the rest water ice.

Yikers! Fast and furious. Fun scrambling between nice granular and squirrelly icy patches. Maybe some shoveling is in order. Or snow creation if temp drops.

Afternoon run with Ruthie. Relaxing pace with 10 x 20 sec pickups at end.

Warm, but good conditions on the loops of manmade snow. Coverage extends to almost 2 km, with good hills, so it's not an endless brain numbing circle.

Warmup, then 10 intervals 40 sec L4 with 40 sec recovery. Relaxed 10 min recovery, the another set of the same over mixed terrain, flats, hills.

Legs felt good with no strain. Skis easy to handle since the snow was soft.

Arms, legs, core 3 sets x 30
Pull ups 3 x 8
Been a while, arms hurt

Crummy workout. Felt somewhat sick, upset stomach. Still tired from the weekend.

Trails frozen granular, ungroomed. Icy and unpleasant. Would have been nice if they had at least been dragged with a grooming tool. Ah, when you know you could do it better yourself; just takes time and a little gas.

Went up the hill to the summit loop. Narrow and icy, skipped the long, steep descent and hiked it!
