| Drove down to Seattle for this one (Kirkland actually). The weather was a real treat; several degrees warmer than Bellingham, about 35, and SUNNY! Could not believe how many people were running in holiday costumes! Dogs too. I didn't feel "on" from the get go this morning; been fighting a cold, and kind of low energy. Warm up was good; left quad tight from the car ride, but I got it worked out. The first mile was a long uphill, then a downhill, then a flat section along the lake to the slightly downhill finish. In the end, I was passed by a 15 or 16 year old boy in elf ears and a green hat, who tried so hard to beat me! It was very funny when he blew by me. My husband was waiting for me, and he said "looks like you got your butt kicked by an elf". We waited around forever for awards, and it was cold, and I forgot warmer socks, so we sat at a really good coffee shop for awhile and then walked around Kirkland. It was sort of stupid to wait all that time for a silly ribbon. Since we had driven all the way down to Seattle, we had lunch and did some shopping before heading home. Tomorrow I've got to be in town for some meetings, then its back to the mountain, hopefully until New Year's!

| Backcountry ski day! I did a little run first, although it really is not necessary. Backcountry is a workout in itself. I don't count it as crosstraining, though, just because. We skinned up to ascents and did two beautiful descents in surprisingly good powder. It is supposed to warm up and be wet tomorrow, so good to get the hiking in today! |

| Easy jog and then some downhill skiing and an hour and a half of skate skiing! I am really loving this skating; its a great substitute for running (even better than classic XC), and it is so beautiful to be out on the trails! |

| Epic, muddy, wet, technical and cold trail run with my son. He is an absolute beast these days, and there is no way I can keep up! We wore our matching bright orange saucony jackets. Good Christmas! |

| A little skate skiing and a long run in the woods. It was an hour and 45 minutes, but only 7.6 miles! Sometimes it is better to not look at mileage on these trail runs. Its not frozen here at the cabin (we are only at 1000 feet in Glacier), and still quite muddy. Also raining quite hard. It felt nice to get back to the cabin and get in the sauna! |
