Headed out into the cold, grey/white tundra, down by the dam rd. with Roxy for a little snowshoe excursion... it was quite fun, took the road less traveled and had to hop the stream a few times... Roxy didn't dare to jump the stream at first and would run around wimpering till she found a smaller spot to jump... by the end she splashed right through the water, she's a bit of a wimpy dog, especially for a chocolate lab! The running was off and on but overall fairly tough in the snow and with the added weight of snowshoes.  I am hoping to get more of these in this winter season!

A fun workout tonight... I think it would be termed circuit training... started with a fast .5 on the TM went straight over to the jump board and did 35 jumps, then back for another quick .75 on the TM and did this for 3 more sets... ended with over 100 jumps and 2.5 miles... surprising how even though it was just over 20 minutes it felt like a pretty solid workout...

Got an alright workout in during the kids soccer scrimmage... good fun the kids got a great hour long burn in...

Had a soccer game later and it was an even better workout... we got beat, but it was a good sweatfest!

Also have been working on doing random core exercises around the house and such... been doing pushups, planks, 100's, etc....

Needed to get outside today... so I turned down a Title lunch at 5 guys and ??, i forget the name, never eatin there... and headed over to 27th st and took on Malans... haven't done it for awhile... but it reminded me quickly that it kicks your behind... trail was in perfect condition this afternoon, i wore my shoe deals, that I think are actually made for ice fishing but work great for this.... didn't do great for time on the way up, 44:59... but didn't expect to with being congested the last couple days. As i said the trail was in perfect condition, especially for running down, soft but with a firm base and not slippery with my grippers... round trip was 1:01:03, so pretty good for the down time! I am sure my quads will feel it tomorrow!

Glad i did it, i am in a running rut, but not to worried i kinda want to take it easy for a month or so, usually i don't take alot of down time... not having a gym pass this winter will help with the down time... i want to see if i can get refreshed and have a good spring!
