Backtrack to Crystal Creek - by the dance floor

Garmin Connect - Activity Details for Backtrack to Crystal Creek - by the dance floor

Beautiful day on the trails. Again my foot felt great, so thinking that whatever happened to it actually in the end....helped?

If so, I'll take it!

3 week countdown to Juan. We all are getting excited.

2nd set of Homework - 1 and 2's 10 rep

Garmin Connect - Activity Details for Homework - 1 and 2's 10 rep

Felt really good. Looking forward to 1 and 1's on Sunday.
Ignore the craziness on my watch info at the end. I had stopped my waych and pushed the button later while driving and so it screwed up all my data!

Week One Homework

Garmin Connect - Activity Details for Week One - 1 and 2's 10 reps

I had emails all day from the running group about meeting and still running with the massive amounts of snow we have received in the last couple days....and them they cancelled. At supper it was so nice out and so I convinced myself I should run here anyway. Trevor gave me the sneaky eye...and begged me not to hurt myself.

So I took it pretty easy, some people had cleared there sidewalk others didn't but the snow was grippy. Although there was too much snow on the trail to the lake for my runners. A few icy spots but not to bad. And just like Sunday, I wanted to go further. But I keep telling myself there is not need to rush, I can't get injured (too much fun stuff on the books) and think I will have a better outcome if I just follow the training laid out.

So hopefully the snow will melt a bit and I can do my last 1 and 2 on Thursday. Sunday we move to 1 and 1.

Update

Well I have been still hiking away with the girls but have been having watch difficulties. I am getting data but its always incomplete so I haven't been posting it. One I lost satellites midway through, the next time I forgot to shut it off and most of the data is of me driving around in my Jeep and the last week I forgot to turn it on until we were half way done! Sheesh.
I also should update everyone on my Summer. I agreed to hike Juan again this June and then the group decided that the dates weren't working so I now will be hiking Juan in April! I fly out April 14th, hike the 15ht til 19th and fly home the 20th. We fly into Nanaimo which will be nice as I have never been there, then we are renting a car to drive to Sooke and meet up with Donald C. Mills www.donaldcmills.com the writer of Giant Cedars, White Sands: Juan de Fuca Marine Trail Guidebook. This is a book my mom bought last year before our hike and Nancy contacted him with a few questions. Now he is going to help us park our car @ Botanical Beach and give us a ride back to the China Beach Trailhead so we can hike to our car!
I also have a wonderful surprise at the end of my hike! (other then the satisfaction of completing it!) My friend Suzanne who was @ Botanical Beach a couple weeks ago has left me a geo cache hidden at the finish line! What a wonderful treat to a wonderful trip!
Most of the planning is complete, so now its about praying to Zeus to dry up some of the crazy amount of mud I am sure is on the trail!
I am also starting to gear up my training for the Death Race. Lucky for me the Press Run is in 10 weeks and the GP Run/Walk Club www.gprunwalk.com is doing free training sessions to all members. So I am starting with the 10 k running group and once that is done I am going to use the 21 k training pattern to continue through the summer.
So I will keep you posted on that!
