Thursday: 0mi - Had to ref and shovel a lot of snow. M.C. helped out.

Friday: 5mi s.s. / 36min in Pisgah w/Griffin. Beautiful day. Hamstrings sore from shoveling, traps too.

Saturday: 10mi s.s.* / 62min. Northfield Mtn. Snowshoe Race - 43:46 - 2nd place. Fun race. One of the toughest courses I've ever run. Lot's of deep snow, climbing, and single-track. I didn't climb very well, TiVo pulled away. I thought I'd be able to catch him on the descent, but it was not enough fast groomed stuff, plus he was moving downhill very fast. I brough Josh for his first taste of snowshoe racing. This was not the best course to bring a beginner but he had fun and looked pretty tired by the end.

Sunday: 22mi* / 2:27 on Saxton's River rds. w/Ferenc and Fyffe. Good run. My legs were a bit tired from the race. Warm weather: 35 degrees F.

Total: 48mi - ok week. Need more miles and a workout next week. Really pleased with the long run and the snowshoe race was a blast.
