Where have I been !?

Just a quick note.

No doubt about it, trail running is tough on the body and snowshoe running is even tougher.
Last winter I damaged my Achilles tendon pretty good from getting a little crazy on the frequency, duration and intensity of my hill workouts. I never was able to really bet back to running last winter. Come along spring and I was happy to be-able to ride my mountain bike.  Well...about 4 rides into the season I went down, did the major splits and tore my hamstring and groin as well as busted up my thumb pretty good.  This really took the wind out of my sails.

Anyhow, I have been running again but I will never race again (never say never?, ...I never say that)  I have not bothered bringing my gps or heart rate monitor with me as I am just trying to enjoy it and not push myself into injury and out of the fun completely.  I will try to start writing and posting some photos of my excursions though. And I am planning on making the gap from Deep creek to Squaw valley soon (see "Bluebird Snowshoe running) and will fully document that one with gps and photos.

I look forward to it.

Happy trails,
Dan
