Alternative Events

Inspired by Johnny's attempt at the 50k, i am going to enter a snowshoe event. i think i will be able to fit one in my schedule next saturday. very excited about this since with all the snow up here it is a great cross training activity of sorts. Haven't been training per say for it, but have been adding little 20:00 jaunts through my woods in the back of my house. did it on fresh 9 inches of powder yesterday, that was a workout!!!! never thought you could sweat that much in 15 degree weather. the distance for next saturday is 10k...i reckon it will be close to an hour of running. Very good resistance training.

BTW - been doing a lot of strength training. Core workouts, shoulders and arms, yoga, legs and back and plyos. body seems to be responding.

The snowshoe stuff sounds fun and is def. taking it to another level on the cardio scale:) It's lift, lift, lift, lift...

Yoga? I'm proud to say I do own a pair of yoga shorts and they are the best running I've ever run in(look into LULULEMON).

Out!
