Summary: Considering I had a few days that were very easy, I still had a solid week and got two runs over 20 miles in. Getting out of town for a weekend, and finding some dry trails to do a long run on was a huge motivation boost. (running the same "roads" in CB on ice/snow can get a bit monotonous). In terms of racing, I did not feel like the snowshoe race took much out of me. It just messed up a couple toes, and my right heal is bruised from tightening the bindings a bit too much. Those are minor nuisances though. Next week I will be racing in the Ally Loop 42k Skate Ski race here in CB, and I have also registered for another 50 miler for May. The Quad Rock 50 up in Ft Collins. 

With my training starting to build, I need to keep focused on being consistent. Sleep will be a major focus over the next month as I try to get back into a more structured routine. I also plan on starting to do some tempo work either during my mid week long run, or the day before it. I don't want to show up to the Salida Trail Marathon (another race I recently added) and repeat what happened last year at Collegiate Peaks. (Without hard efforts in training, last year I went out and raced hard and paid the price. My legs got trashed and did not feel recovered for nearly 3-4 weeks). 

Goals for next week: Run 80 miles, one long run of 20-22 miles, skate ski a couple days early in the week, then put in a solid effort at the Alley Loop 43k (nordic race), and hopefully get a couple good core/strength sessions in. The beginning of the week will be the largest volume, with Thursday/Friday being recovery days before the race.
