Ran/hiked up M Peak with the Mtn Man... not a huge push on the way up, mainly power hiking with an occasional burst of jogging... felt really good and then ran down... trail in places was very slippery... I was happy to have one rubber grippy thing for my shoe!

Did a half hour of core work in the evening, did some leg presses and hundreds and 45lb each arm steps!

Warmup on the TM, started at 15 and worked down to 1.5, felt good to get the legs going, a bit sore in the quads from the climb Monday... I then headed into cycling a great 45 min burn, pushed it good! Then went into the sauna for 20 min. about passed out when I stood up!

Ended the day with a.... soccer game, it was a good workout only had one sub.

Went to the gym and ran on the Tm, for the 1st 2 miles I did a ladder workout... started at 15 incline for .2 and 4mph and then cut incline in half and increased mph by 1mph every .2 to a mile and on the last spot 1 incline 8 speed i went for .3... it was a good workout, i like the variation, I then jumped around for 3 miles between incline speed and continued a good workout.

Good ski day at the Bald MTN

Lazy day on vacation... at around 4 had to get out and move around a bit, went out and hiked/ran the groomed trails around the golf course then took the groomed trail up the mtn and around to the other side and then down closed groom run!... total time about 1/2 hr and then came back and got the 2 older kids and my wife and went and did it again... beautiful day out and it felt great to get the body moving into action!

A nice morning run around the area, birds chirping, nippy temps(16degrees), but it felt great to be out, ended by doing my groomed run up the ski hill push, Ran most of it! Now off for a day on the slopes!

took it easy today!

A very good and needed outside run this morning... with the running boys! did the trails up... they were in perfect condition and the running was sweet! Felt very good!

A good 1 hr core workout this morning... worked the abs and did some kettleball work!

Ended with a good late night soccer game, beat em good!

A good afternoon climb up the M Peak with the mtn goat... it was a alright push, just getting my climbing legs back under me before we really get after it!

Got out this morning for a nice steady 7 miles... didn't push it real hard just enjoyed the morning and running outside in the 20 degree weather!

A fantastic spring skiing day with the family!

2 easy miles running to the church with the kids, while they rode their bikes!

Beautiful Spring day... headed out on the road bike went around the lake and did a side climb up for a couple good miles of climbing and then came back down and and finished the loop 22+ miles... felt awesome to be riding the bike so early... got in a late night soccer game to finish the day off... good game we won!

A solid midday huff up to M Peak with the MTN Goat... he seems to be getting stronger and that has me worried, no more conversation pace workouts! Made it to the top in 45:30 not a blazing pace but good considering the soft snow conditions, definately better when it is colder and more frozen!

Ran over to the school with my 3 yr old to pick up the 6 yr old, while pushing the stroller... then we took the long way home and stopped by the market for lunch... it was a good 4 miles of running, my 5 yr old ran for about a mile with me... all while it was snowing lightly on us!

A great day skiing with the boys! 9:30-4:15... pretty impressive for the 3 yr old, had one moment after lunch that I thought might end the day for him, but he caught a 2nd wind and finished strong!

A Steady run on the bench this afternoon... trail was 95% dry, couple snowy patches on the N. sides... but in awesome condition!

First Magical run of the year... hit the E. bench started with a climb and then went North along the upper trail, everything was clicking today, wished I could bottle up how to get that everytime! trail was in good shape, north facing cut backs had snow, but you could keep running along it! weather was perfect too, which for me I think is part of it... 50 degrees for running is perfect, at that temp you don't even feel it, neither to cold or too hot!

Best core workout I have had for a long time... 1 hr, PainGirl had it in for us today! Started with 1/2 hr. of Kettleball Hel$... and then went on to to abs! Loved it but I will feel this workout for a couple days!

Went for the M. Peak today and a good one it was, top in 42:21, didn't kill it with speed, but I kept running for most of it, I really think the snow conditions slow me down more than I realize... I thought for sure I'd be under 40min for the summit! Cool snowstorm blew in as I neared the top, complete whiteout and pretty heavy snowfall...

Came down pretty quick and the snow started falling harder, I felt great so I extended the run along the trail and tacked on 2.5 more miles! Felt great, and love running in conditions like that!

Hit the Bench today in another beautiful snowstorm... it was coming down the entire hour and ten minutes I was running... the funny thing is there was 3-4 inches on the ground but on the trail none of it was sticking, 98% of the entire run the trail was perfectly clear...I couldn't figure out why on just the trail it was staying clear, whereas side trails that banked off the main trail had some snow accumulation??? Good solid run!

Had a good solid Soccer game tonight, we got beat but it was a great workout and a fun game!

The Snow is still falling could make for a great break in April type a day!

Messed up my dates this is what i did today, Tuesday was a lazy day of nothing!
