Thaw

Running on the Dan Moller Trail at about noon yesterday. I've been short on time these past few mornings and playing with options for shorter, higher-intensity workouts. Running in the snow has all the intensity of running in loose sand on a beach, except for add a steady incline. I'm in pretty good shape for foot-powered stuff because of all the hiking I've been doing, but my lungs were being put through a shredder. Six miles took just over an hour. Slow but painful. Powerful stuff, running. No matter how you approach it, or where you do it, it burns.

Same run, same spot, today. During the descent, I punched through a deep posthole, wrenched my knee, and had to walk down.

  2. Beautiful pictures this winter, Jill! What kind of a camera do you use? I'm over in Homer, definitely needing a bit more snow up here!

  3. Ouch, running in the snow hurts. I was a fast runner (can't run anymore), but I never really enjoyed it. My lungs burn just dancing around my house Jill! We're expecting SNAIN today in Chicago, I might have to go for a bikeride in your honor!
