Sunday I ran at Afton State Park with some friends. Its a great park with a lot of trails, hills, and home to the Afton 50k and 25k at the beginning of July. The 2 workouts for the week were a hill workout on friday with Shad and Timmy and a 14 mile trail run in slush/snow/ice on wednesday after we recieved thick wet snow fall tuesday night. All I can say is that tired out the legs. I am a big fan of snow running when either there is not enough snow for snowshoeing or snowshoes are not available.  It strengthens the legs and lungs like a tempo with out having you go anaerobic. Total mils for the week was 101.5.

Tomorow I am racing my first snowshoe race of the winter in snowshoes in Cable, WI. The race is teh Midwest Champioships so it should be competive.  The race distance is 10k with a 4 x 2.5k relay in the afternoon. I will have another post on Sunday recapping the week and race.
