Snowshoeing Vail Pass
Matt flew in last weekend, so he, my parents, Elias and I spent the weekend at Copper. Knowing that the three of them would ski all weekend, I brought my snowshoes and Elias's carrier along. Jenna drove up from Boulder Saturday morning, and the three of us snowshoed part of the path that leads from Copper to Vail Pass. We went in for about an hour, at a slight incline, braving the wind. The weather was beautiful, aside from the wind, with the temperatures reaching roughly 60 that afternoon. I unfortunately didn't take any photos while we were snowshoeing, but did take a few afterwards. Here's a shot of E and I on the bus back to our condo:
...and another one of Elias after he got out of the carrier:
After a cozy little nap on the couch together, the two of us headed over to Jack's for a few drinks. Elias had fun with Uncle Matt.
We're hoping to get up there one more weekend before the end of the season.

My goal this morning was 21 miles. I started off in decent weather, but lots of wind. After about 4 miles, the wind turned very cold and by the time I got back to the car, it had started raining and snow was coming. I only wore a dri-fit t-shirt, running shorts and shoes with no socks. I was pretty cold and decided I probably should not continue. My arms were numb when I finally got back to the car.

P.M. Bike 16.6 Miles
Rode over to my sisters place.
3/27/11
Early P.M. 9.7 Miles
I got new shoes yesterday. A pair I have been waiting to get for about six months now, the New Balance Minimus shoes. They are very similar to the Vibram shoes, with a little more support. This run was the first I got to use them. I could definitely tell a difference from my New Balance 860's, but the strain wasn't there as much as I thought it was going to be. They were surprising comfortable and provided just enough protection and support. I'm so excited to be using them.
Here is a photo the exact shoe I got.
I also picked up the Nike Free about a month or so ago. I love them as everyday shoes and as strength and speed training shoes, but as distance shoes, they just don't feel like they would do the job at this point. I do love the shoes, but I think I'll keep to my Minimus and New Balance 860's for my distance runs.
Here's a pic of my NF's.
P.M. 3.9 Miles
Went for a run with Elias and Jenny.
P.M. Bike 11 Miles
Overall a pretty decent week. I did reach my running goal of 60 miles this week and actually got some decent biking in. I am starting to really like biking, it's a lot more fun than I thought it was going to be. I am starting to come down with something as my voice is shot and my throat has been hurting the last two days. Hopefully I can get over it quickly.

Nothing
My plan was to run today. I had a really busy day at work and came home and crashed. I fell asleep on the couch from 8:30 pm till 11:30 pm. It's been a long time since I've done that
3/18/11
P.M. 5 Miles
Same route as earlier this week. Also, my indoor coed soccer team played for the championship tonight. It was a hellish game and I forgot to bring my shin guards. Needless to say, I walked away with a couple of bruised shins. We were down by three going into halftime and came back with five minutes left to go in the game. We ended with a tie and went into a penalty kick shootout. We lost, but we all agreed it was a great game. I was pretty wasted after that game, it was quite the workout.
3/19/11
P.M. 8.5 Miles
Ran around the golf course and then met up with Jenny to do a couple laps around the neighborhood. It was very windy and we had Elias in the push stroller. Not much fun.
3/20/11
P.M. 10.9 Miles
I actually had a pretty good run today. I think I could have kept going for a quite a while, but had to get home to help around the house.
I ordered a tri bike a couple of weeks ago and it finally came in. It is a Specialized Transition Elite. A great starter bike, but far from the really nice bikes. It's really all I need for now.
I had gotten my bike before my run this morning and my plan was to not ride it today. But after my run, I couldn't hold out so I took it for a spin.
P.M. Bike - 4.6 Miles
It was pretty tough getting used to being clipped into my pedals. I thought for sure I was going to take a tumble trying to get on and off the bike, but I figured it out pretty quickly. The one thing I know I will find difficult it transitioning into the tuck position. The bike is very touchy and with the wind around the golf course, I had to pull out of the tuck position several times. But overall, it was a phenomenal first ride. A very quick bike.
The week ended up not as good as I wanted it to be. My goal was 60 miles this week, but obviously I fell short. But I do feel getting out there everyday will make a good impact in the long run.
