the Way of the Turtle

6 Mile Run in the Albany Pine Bush
Tuesday, January 29, 2008

I definitely felt the effects of 4 hours of sleep last night and the hike up and down Pine Mountain during the snowshoe race on Sunday... my legs felt fried for all of tonight's run on the Pine Bush trails. There's still quite a bit of hard-packed snow and ice, so once again my screw shoes came in handy. At first I found myself questioning whether or not I should just call it a night and skip the bulk of the run, but I'm glad I pressed on... while it never got easy, I still found myself enjoying being out in the woods as the run progressed.

As I've said several times recently... I have a lot of work to do between now and the snowshoe half marathon in Vermont!
