Left at 6:30 again to beat the crowds, Nordic Opener at Elm Creek. Busy, vendors setting up shops to woo the masses. First time classic for me, worked well, kept up a decent tempo for a total of 12 laps and about 30 km. The new boots are a little loose. Will try to tighten the strap a little more and maybe wear a thicker sock. Towards the end, traffic got thicker, with novices wiping out all over the place. Time to take off. After dropping off Karl, I put up the outdoor Xmas lights. Busy day.

Quick walk with dogs after feeding them. Then put van in garage for the first time. Two bigger cars, it's a tight fit but they fit.

Tracks from last night were overblown, which surprised me, because the snow has been around for five days. Cold enough to keep it fluffy.

No jogging for a change on way to catch train. For my cross-over drill when I climb my 12 floors, I added a cross front/cross back for several floors. Noticed on Monday that when I'm climbing left side up, the right foot wants to automatically alternating between crossing front and back while when I'm climbing right side up, the left foot does not. Funny how these things work ...

Quick walk, a few snowflakes. Accident on Snelling southbound lane, between the Energy Park and Pierce Butler exits. Cars looked pretty banged up and one was sitting on the sidewalk. Wouldn't want to be walking the dogs along when this happens.

Wicked fast snow and not as many people as last week. Based on the Saturday workout, I figured that the full 2.5 km man-made snow loop at Elm Creek would be about 8:00. OK, it was 7:50, close enough, but solid L4. For recovery, we did the flat area including the training field. Starting to be able to maintain V2 in hills longer than before. Warm-up was one no pole loop and one with poles, same for cool-down. Excellent workout!

Shuffle-jog to the light rail. When I shoveled after coming home yesterday afternoon, I was dismayed about the ridge in the middle of the sidewalk that was hard if not impossible to scrape off. It's where pedestrians had compacted the fresh snow after the storm. This morning I saw that the majority of shovelers had encountered the same problem ...

First walk with those poor pooches since Friday. They thoroughly enjoyed it and so did I. Their enthusiasm is infectious.
