hiking 1:50:52 [3] 4.03 mi (27:31 / mi) +331m 21:55 / mi
weight:123.8lbs
hill repeats
About as fast up as down. Differences in the repeats probably more to do with getting out of the way of dogs and horses and other people and taking off and putting on mittens and hat than anything else.

My Christmas present from Dennis and Emily. They scoured the web and found a map of French Creek East on anniemac's blog and had images from it painted on plates. How cool was that? Totally surprised me with them this evening.

hiking 1:57:05 [2] 4.13 mi (28:21 / mi) +225m 24:15 / mi
weight:124.6lbs
Easy hike in the Wissahickon - basically the extended Indian Loop. However, it looked like the trail going up to the meadows from the covered bridge was icy and I knew the one from Bells Mills was not, so I stayed on the Drive. Not sure if that was better - the Drive was solid ice in places covered with an inch of water. The trails were big mud puddles in a few places - the hiking poles were very helpful.
Rain gear did well and it poured a few times so happy to have made those purchases.

Hill repeats. Did them on A-hill, a la Karl. Didn't do too many as I'm really trying to take it easy still.
Pretty cold out, but I quickly warmed up and had my gloves and hat off at one point although they went back on for the hike home through the meadow.

hiking 35:23 [1] 1.91 mi (18:34 / mi) +70m 16:40 / mi
4F out so I figured it was a perfect day for testing out some of my warmest layers. Analysis: they were plenty warm! Had to unzip my jacket near the end since I was sweating just strolling along leisurely. Only things that got cold were the parts of my face not covered up. May go buy one of those ski mask thingies.

hiking 24:17 [1] 1.28 mi (19:03 / mi) +57m 16:44 / mi
Mental discipline fail yesterday (could not stop eating, did no exercise) so decided to get up and walk in the rain this morning to try and break the cycle.
5 PM
gym 1:09:10 +531m
ahr:123 max:138
And then maintained the momentum and went to the gym after working in my office all afternoon. Got it up to 15% incline in the first 5 minutes and settled on 24 minute miles (2.5 mph) as doable for 45 minutes, then worked my way back down in the last 10 minutes to about 8% but threw in some faster paces to loosen up a bit.
Machine said 1743 feet of climb. Would be nice to think that was accurate as the workout didn't seem to be particularly hard. I had to work hard to stay upright and not hunched over but legs were never tired.
Ended with a bit of stretching.
