Well, I didn't do my 10k run time trial to see where I'm at with that and to set a baseline for improvements. That was supposed to happen yesterday but the weather didn't cooperate. But today I did a three hour backcountry ski that was pretty good. It is probably the last one of the year, at least I'll tell myself that so that I don't feel like I have do go again. The lift is closed after this weekend, so it's a one hour hike up to the ridgeline.
In any case, we did one run today, which was about 2000 ft if I plotted our ending point correctly, which I'm not sure I did. But it did take us an hour to get back to the top, and my legs were fried when we got there. I thought I would do better than that after a week off, but we had to break trail the whole way, which makes things significantly harder. In any case, it is still winter on the mountain! It was a good day on skis in the woods!
I'm pretty excited about moving into phase 3 of my training plan. If my bike setup change works well, I'll be even more excited. I just hope my body can adapt appropriately and quickly. The weather is not shaping up to be nice next week, so I'll probably be back on the trainer, which is even harder in the spring after having been out on the roads on a nice day.
I'll be taking it one week at a time. I realized I don't have any mid-term goals in place, which makes it tough to keep plugging along. I'll be working on those this week. I'm starting with: get all my workouts in this week.
