This was a strange week. I had looked at the weather forecast so I knew to expect some awesome days and then awful days. I spent two days running in the Four Mile area where my upcoming 50 miler takes place. The area is deceivingly tough. While it looks flat, there is nothing flat- the trails roll in and out of small drainage’s which make it really tough. The area has little cover so the wind whips up a lot of dust. I also took the dogs up Midland hill and there was still a lot of snow up on top, but the river was still needed when they got down.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

When we got back, the dogs took advantage of the new grass in the courtyard.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

The warm weather brought out the ground squirrels so the dogs have been obsessed looking under every rock<\/p>\n\n\n\n

And then, the second half of the week came. We walked back from Whiskey Wednesday in the snow.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

The poor weather gave me an excuse to cook. I made 6 wraps of campfire salmon and a giant pot of veggie chili. To give a little perspective, I put my large Yeti cup next to the chili pot.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

The dinning room chairs also came so I had another project to keep me busy while inside.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Even though I’ve been to yoga everyday this week, being cooped-up was driving me nuts so I went out for a run today. The weather was high 30’s and sunny when I left, but when I got to the top of Midland hill 49 minutes later, a snow storm has set in. It was snowing fairly hard for about an hour and then cleared up so I extended my run north on the Broken Boyfriend Trail. I put my Strava feed for the climb below since this is my benchmark to beat this summer.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
