Winter wonderland

After 2 weeks of practically no snow, town received a solid 10cms this morning. Saying that went to Cory's last night for a few bevvies at his firepit where all of a sudden it started pouring rain around 10:00p,. The bike home was sketchy as it gets, streets were complete skating rinks. Relieved to wake up and see it snowing this morning.




With the new snow, Spray Lake Loop trail should be a go this week. Blessed to have that a 2 minute drive from our house to take advantage of.

Donned the spiked shoes and went for a 1.5 hr run this afternoon out to 3rd Vermillion Lake. Plowing through 10 odd cms around Fendland Loop was like running through quick sand, kept the HR low though.

That has been the hardest part the last 1.5 months since starting this plan, keeping the HR low and sticking with that pace while not succumbing to the urge to pedal or run harder...aerobic base building time.
