I drove up Parley's Canyon in the snow for some skate skiing this morning. Three easy laps on the Main+Mitten loop for a total of 6.3 miles. I'm not sure how long it took (I should invest in a stopwatch), but I wasn't skiing very fast. It must have something to do with my being tired, the new snow on the ground, and the lack of wax on my skis. I felt a little lightheaded halfway through the second lap, probably because I didn't sleep well last night, but it felt good to work my legs while giving them a rest from the pounding they get from running. We'll see how tomorrow's intervals on the treadmill go. |
