Training Week 2/10/14

2/11/14 - Ran the 6 mile loop below a 142 HR and did a 1.5 mile cool down.
2/12/14 - Got home early for a snow run with James.  We got in 7.3 random road miles in 3 or so inches of falling snow.
2/14/14 - Ran 7.3 miles with James and then Gina and I went out for 7.1 in the deep and melting snow. 
2/15/14 - Decided to hit McAfee's in the fresh snow.  We followed one pair of tracks that looked to be put down before the last snow on Thursday.  Much of the route was mid shin to knee deep snow.  Lots of work but worth the effort to get to the top and see the Blue Ridge Mtns Covered in snow.  We tried to go down the backside of McAfee's but lost the trail in waist deep drifts, so we bushwhacked back to the fireroad and took that back down the mtn.  The full route was 9 miles and it felt like 15. 
2/16/14 - Ran 6.5 miles with James heading to the greenway and back through Grandin and then headed to Bedford for the 3rd Mtn Cross race.  The race was a short track of snow, deep mud and asphalt.  I got in 9.3 including a warm-up and cool down.  It was fun.  I love the balance work needed to ride through the snow. 
Total for the Week;  44.66 miles running and 9.3 mtn biking.
