Happy February!
January was a fun month with a Snowstore in Seattle (yes, we actually had enough snow to sled, make snowmen, and have snowball fights!!!). The snow was great fun although the roads and trails are still recovering a bit ...so riding and running has moved indoors for a bit!
My big accomplishment for January was running a full hour on a treadmill ... you have to know me to understand how big of a deal this is! I am not a huge fan or running inside ... so getting in an hour long run inside is a BIG feat for me :) Back outside this weekend though (phew). Long runs are so much easier and longer outside!
On the fun front ... winter camping! It was great ... this time with a bit of life's comforts! Since the roads and trails were not ridable ... why not hit the snow ... 5.5 hours of snowshoeing is exhausting! You think you are in shape until you change things up ... then you realize you have a ways to go! It was amazing ... check it out here. Tried snowboarding but the snow was too wet and the boards didn't move very fast :) I think going down the hill was ALMOST as much work as going up. The winds were so crazy at the top I thought i might blow away! :) Next time!
This weekend marks the end of the 'snow era' in seattle - translated this means running and riding outside! A 10 mile run on Saturday and at 50mile ride on Sunday. I'm stoked!!
