Depths of Winter

So, another week of winter training. Repeated snowfalls, but again and again the guys and gals at Kensington Metropark keep sweeping off the snow almost as soon as it falls to keep the trail as safe as possible for us. Nothing remarkable really for the past week as I attempt to catch up to the training schedule after starting this training cycle later than usual and with the Paris Marathon earlier than usual. The swimming on my two off days is still feeling good.

Fortunately, there have been still no significant injury issues to date and a nineteen mile run today felt surprisingly easy. The knees were nearly painfree today. The next two weeks will be more challenging in terms of getting in the daily runs as we leave for France next Thursday night for eight days. What will running in 30 degree warmer weather feel like anyway? A preview of April in Paris!
