After all that the week of 3/2, I managed no miles running this past week. Had midterms, weather, and life get in the way. I did manage to get a full day of snowboarding in on Saturday and my legs feel it. My shins do feel a little better, though.

Mon - 3.5mi
Tues - 3.75mi
Thurs - strength training

I decided to head back out to Palmer Park again last night and see if I could make the entire loop around the north end of the park on the Templeton Trail. Started at the same trailhead and went left at the merge for Templeton to head north along the ridge. Once around the ridge [...]

I had talked to CBB on Thursday about running with the Incline Club on Sunday for their long run. They were heading up Barr Trail to Barr Camp and back. I’m nowhere near ready for that, but I was planning to at least get to No Name and turn around. As luck would have it, [...]
