XC skiing 1:18:49 [3] 7.03 mi (11:13 / mi) +315m 9:50 / mi
Went to the von Trapp lodge for Sunday. The conditions and grooming were excellent. My legs were tired from yesterday though and the 240 meter climb for 2.5 miles were really slow. Fairly cold, about 2 degrees Fahrenheit (-17 celsius). Wore a facemask to protect my face from freezing.
This was the first time I used my new skate skies, and I am pretty happy with them. I need to figure out how to wax things properly. They were prewaxed, but they were sticky in a couple of spots. The boots were fantastic.

XC skiing 1:04:40 [3] 6.6 mi (9:48 / mi) +205m 8:56 / mi
Going up skiing in Vermont with a big portion of the CSU crew, staying at Ali's. We went to Blueberry Lake XC for Saturday. Barely any snow, but still doable. First time skate skiing in twenty years. My right foot got really tired and cramped up in the arch. I had taped my foot due to the blister, and that probably didn't help.
We found a good field, and Ian and I went around it a couple of times. He skied pretty well for a guy from Texas.

Went back after lunch, and Giovanni, Katia, Ian and I tried to go up a trail up a hill top. Did the field a couple of times after that. Bailed after my foot cramping up.

Running 51:40 [4] 6.6 mi (7:50 / mi) +144m 7:20 / mi
After a couple of days of rest from running, I did my usual 6.6 mile route from my house and I improved my best time with 15 seconds. The pace was the same due to the inaccuracy of the GPS device tracking the length though.
The blister was better, but still irritated. I ran without my orthotics today, to avoid pressure on it. Probably impacted my running slightly for the last couple of miles. No pain today though.
