Winter runs

Alana, Jay and I went for a run at Nosehill last night. The sunset was stunning and we took several minutes to savour the orange and red hues as the sun dipped behind our majestic rockies. We took turns at the turns making decisions. jay decided to be a deer and lope off into the deep snow. Nothing like getting a snow cone in the shoe.

We are on spring break this week for spin classes and have been filling the days with cross training activities like swimming and running. So far so good. I have left all recording devices at home and just go out and do. Sunday found us on the Fish Creek bike path navigating snow and huge water/mud puddles. The pace was easy but the riding great. The Kid and I even got in a swim that day as well.

As much as it would be a blast to train like that I cannot deny the benefits of the spin classes. The consistency and progressive steps, i believe, are a major key to my success on the bike.

Soon there will be nothing but outdoor riding but until then some good hard indoor classes.
