I must admit, I don't think I've gotten any cross-training in during this season's training. Biking, swimming, tennis, etc. just don't seem desirable during the winter months at all. I could totally be convinced to do cross-country skiing or snowshoeing, but just can't seem to find the time...or the equipment. But THIS week was Olympicfest, so that meant I got to do CurlToss, Derby Combined, Super G and...ah...what was Emily's event called - Eat a Snowball?
Here are some pics from the afternoon:
This week was a scaled back week for me, so my long run was ten miles. Sounds easy, but for some reason I was really slow and it just felt like a tough run. Hoping that next week's 15 with Lisa will be better.
Highlight of the week - Meeting the Race Director of the Pittsburgh Marathon! She was at a networking event that I attended and so glad I got to meet her; super nice lady! I also met a spunky Irish lady training for her first marathon - she was a ball of energy.
Difficult part of the week - Still...finding time to fit everything in. I've just got to realize I'm not going to accomplish it all and just go with what I can do. When I leave in the morning at 6:30 am and get home at 9:30 pm, that just really doesn't leave time for much else...speaking of which, I think its bedtime.
