ten miles plus tele skiing

last saturday I ran a short long run. only ten miles. I love it when you get to that point in your training when you pull your miles back and anything around ten miles is considered short. it's fabulous.

with that being said, I figured it would be no problem to go out and run a quick ten and then go skiing with my cutest husband. the run went ok. I just did the directional run and added one more little segment to get enough miles out of it (I am happy to say I chose to go east--that means I ran up the hill two times instead of just once. go jo!). my legs had the usual tightness.

skiing was fun. it was pretty warm. the snow softened up. I rented some tele boots from REI but ended up alpine skiing more than doing any tele turns. I gave it a good effort, though. it just hammers your quads (think of doing lunges while sliding down a mountain) and my legs were already pretty tired.

10 miles, a mile out in each direction (east twice) from the pug baby tree + tele skiing
