Training Log: Ricka

Treadmill 16:00 [3]

2 sets of: 2@5.5; 2@6.5; 2@7.5 at 2% climb. Easy pace workout to finish up at Y.

C • Mom's doing alright in nurs... 1

Machines 20:00 [2]

8 machines at Escanaba Y. They recognize STL Y membership - no fee. :)

Stat. Bike 14:00 [3]

Wanted easy day after two days running - sore butt anyway.

Running 56:00 [2]

Wanted to do Lake Michigan run but north wind was a bit brisk - better in woods. About 45 degrees.

Tried to do Days' River Loop 2 backwards: 1/4 on Loop; 1/2 very lost on snowmobile and logging roads (without compass or sun was depending on "wind out of north" and "clear skies to south" (Lake Michigan) for sense of direction). I did have major catching features S, E, and W; 1/4 back on trail.
Red Pine planted forests are amazingly open. Subltle terrain features, soft ground. Bit like sand hills of western Canada.

Running 42:00 [2]

Did loop 2 at Days' River CC course near Gladstone (as arch-enemies, we used to call it Happy Rock). Near 60 degrees! Dry, pretty firm, virtually no leftover snow/ice. 1 year ago, I spent Spring Break here getting 2 inches of ice off of mom's sidewalks!

Walking 22:00 [1]

Followed cute little creek near end of day's run.

Running 40:30 [2]

Missed showers during very pleasant FP run. Lots more energy than yesterday.
