M – hike 1.5 hours along the Colorado River with Dad, Mama, & Ren (oh and Bandit!)

Tu – REST. fly through Vegas and Seattle and use copious amounts of disinfecting wipes…blissfully unaware until tomorrow that there are no more disinfecting wipes in all the world…

W – 4 easy road miles (9:46 pace) around the neighborhood with my beloved. Sunny and surprisingly warm – shorts weather.

30 minutes of mobility work.

Th – REST. Debilitating sinus pain and pressure, a sign that spring is on its way. Killed me to not run today, but I just could not do it. Sports massage @ https://www.actiondynamix.org/

F – 5 mile SOS road run – general aerobic/speed workout: 10 x 100m @ 6:15 minute mile pace + 10 x 10 second hill sprints.

Ski (downhill) Mt Bachelor – snow conditions pretty OK. Little did I know that access to the resort would be going the way of disinfecting wipes…mountain closed down effective Sunday.

Sa – 6 easy trail miles @ 10:43 pace – out and back to Shevlin park in somewhat heavy snow in the air but perfect conditions on the trail.

climb @ https://bendrockgym.com/ Can’t help but wonder if the gym climbing days are numbered too…

Su – 5 easy trail miles (didn’t track pace or time) along neighborhood paths in 20 degree temps (feels like 10 degrees according to the weather channel! realized after the run that my Packers beanie + wool hoody = looking like a yard gnome). A beautiful, grateful run with fun snowy terrain and no one around…tried to really focus on gratitude and not whining about not skiing and events getting canceled and anxiety about people suffering)

Total miles run: 20

M – 6 mile easy trail run @10:37 pace on upper Deschutes River Trail

Climb @ Bend Rock Gym

Tu – Final Skate Ski Lesson! I think it’s generally a bad sign when your skate ski instructor says gently to you “we’re all on our own journey…”. It’s possible my journey will not involve a lot of skate skiing…one of the gifts of trying something new is how it can show you how much you love something you already know – like running, climbing, and downhill skiing (which until recently was something new for me!).

Some downhill runs on a bluebird day to remind me I am competent at one form of skiing LOL.

W – 4 mile easy trail run with my sort of cop buddies Dev & Hobbes.

Strength class at Recharge! http://www.rechargesport.com/

Th – 6 mile track Lactate Threshold workout with 3 miles @ 8:09-8:15 pace. Not real happy about wearing a tank top and shorts to run outside in February.

F – REST

Sa – 5 mile speed interval road run w/10x 12 second hill repeats + 10x 100m repeats @6:30 pace

Climb @ Bend Rock Gym

my beloved husband’s idea of a blue run

Su – dreamy downhill laps at Mt Bachelor where Dan pulled his trick THAT I ALWAYS FALL FOR where I follow him down multiple black diamond runs. Lucky for him ~90% of that time was fabulous.

M – 5 mile SOS* workout lactate threshold treadmill run with 3 miles @ ~8:18 pace (1% incline, 7.2 speed). Urgh. That.Did.Not.Feel.Good. Definitely tired from late travel the night before, not sleeping well, and daylong workshop. The pace felt much harder than it should have for such a short amount of time…let it go, let it go…

15 minutes strengthen work, focus on gluteal and hip strength


Tu – REST


W – 5 mile easy road run around the outside of Disneyland with Odessa. Wound up doing some fun and random interval segments trying to cross the ginormous intersections and dodging tourists, strollers, etc.

Th – 5 mile easy treadmill run, 5.8 speed (~10:15 pace). Catching up on Empire. Will Andre survive his cancer? Will Jamal’s character be written off the show?? Will Cookie and Lucious keep their company and relationship together???

F – 6 mile SOS workout treadmill run with 4 miles at marathon pace (1% incline, 6.8 speed = ~8:45 pace). Now that felt good! Pace felt focused but reasonable. Still not super sure if it’s sustainable for almost four hours, but guess what? Don’t have to answer that question today.

Sa – touchdown at home 11am after a weeklong conference, drop off bags and kiss the kitties, then off to Bachelor to downhill ski. Bluebird skies, mostly great snow with some sneaker (and harrowing) icy spots.


Su – downhill ski at Bachelor. Hello, happy place, and thank you, Coalition Snow Taken For Granite All Mountain Skis https://www.coalitionsnow.com/

*SOS = Something of Substance. Basically any run with a targeted goal other than an easy run. Includes speed work, tempo runs at marathon pace, and long runs.
