Comments: Another pretty good week with a good combination of running and x-training. The highlight workout of the week was definitely Sunday's snowshoeing expedition of almost three hours. The conditions were not as good as last weekend (we had a slight mid-week thaw) but the the snow is still pretty deep with over three feet on the ridges in some places.

Solid week Paul. I see that you made a trip to the Vermont institution known as the Grand Union. Grocery stores don't get much sketchier than that.
ReplyDeleteIt's nice to see your running totals getting up there. I still can't believe the length of the pool runs.
ReplyDeleteKev- Affectionately known as 'gouge union'... it's really bad. When the roads and temperature are appropriate for cycling I head to Shaws for food but that's a 50-min ride one way. During the winter, GU is the only option. Seriously, it's like eastern Europe.
ReplyDeleteMaijaleena- The pool runs are pretty tough. I will probably do a post in a while listing my x-training methods in decreasing order of pleasantness. At least the pool is closed for spring break.
great week paul. Look forward to the list of top deceitful x-training methods. When I was injured for the winter last year I rated the following from worst being number one...
ReplyDelete1. 2-2+ hours of elliptical. Something about starting another hour after doing one already that just makes one nauseous.
2. swimming: fun in the summer on spring-fed lakes, but not chlorinated pool in the winter.
3. cycling
It looks like you have found a way to mix it up well though and not find yourself doing the "madhouse promenade" around the pool and such. The running is definitely getting stronger each week for you.
