Snowshoeing out my backdoor and other Pink Elephants
Week 1 was pretty tough. I think week 2 is going to be even harder.
Besides the new 12 inches of snow, we're supposed to get a dose of artic air next week. I think the high for wednesday is to be about 13 degrees, and oh yeah, really windy so lots of sub-zero wind chill.
Thankfully, I have my TT situation figured out pretty well now. I have the noisy TT at WC and the nice TT at the club that I can use despite not having a membership, but only between 2:30 pm and 4:30 pm.
Fortunately, I don't have to increase my mileage at all this week. Hopefully, some of my aches and pains will subside. My knee has been acting up so I guess I should start icing it after my runs and I have no idea what to do about the plantar fascia deal-e-bob that continues to ache, but luckily doesn't seem to get worse. I think it is a good time to buy new shoes, so that's something to look forward to this week.
