Last weekend’s tele ski trips left me with a souvenir – blisters on my heel. But there’s no rest for the weary, as I gear up for the Freezer Burn Half Marathon just a week and a half away. Sitting here, I gaze at my bikes with a mix of love and longing. I miss the thrill of the ride, and I’m itching to assemble my winter rig to conquer snowy roads and trails on two wheels.
The training doesn’t stop, though. Last night, I embarked on a 5-mile journey up into Crazy Canon. The night was so luminous, I didn’t even need a light (though I’d forgotten it anyway). That run started to test my limits – my legs aching with a blend of soreness and fatigue. But the plan must go on. Tonight, it’s a 3.5-mile run, an essential step towards nailing the half marathon in just three days.
After that, I’m giving myself a two-day breather. Then it’s a 13-mile weekend challenge, followed by another short rest. I’ll cap off my preparations with a hearty 10-miler next week. It’s a tough regimen, but the finish line is in sight, and my spirit is undeterred. Bring on the Freezer Burn!
