This week I took out one of my runs and we went snow shoeing!! My husband Brad and I did a lot of sow shoeing before our kids were born but have not done much in the past 5 years. So today we got a sitter and headed up to Kananaskis. We were worried there would be no snow but were happy when we hit Powerface trail we got lots of snow!
Since today was still a training day for me and Brad is also training (for his first half marathon) we made it a workout! So wee did 10km...the first 5 km in was a pretty steady incline so we just tried to stay at steady pace and just stopped to peel off layers as it got hot. We stopped for lunch at 5km then came back down....on the way down since it was a decline and flats we decided to do some "running" so we would do 200-400 metre run then walk.....now that does not sound far...but with heavy hiking boots and snow shoes attached that was quite the workout! We are both feeling that in our legs now!
The only down fall is I got a blister....OUCH!!
But it was a fun day!
