So, doesn't look like Nordic skiing will be happening until we get another good snowfall. Hopefully it'll be soon. I'm really enjoying the skiing and it's kicked my butt in ways I didn't know were possible. I mean that in the most complimentary fashion.
I tried to think positive and embrace this evil warm weather with a road run in the Vibram Five Fingers this afternoon. I told myself this winter that whenever the temperature gets above 40 degrees, I'd take advantage of it and run in the Vibrams even if it meant sacrificing distance and/or pace. I'm still only comfortable doing a little over five miles in them on the roads slowly until I can do more runs in them regularly and ramp up properly, so that's what I did today.
Ran 5.2 miles @ 8:33/mile pace.
Paved road.
Slightly hilly.
Lower 40s, partly sunny, windy.
Vibram Five Finger Sprints, shorts, windbreaker, short sleeved shirt, cap.

Man, I know how it feels...I am travelling back-and-forth between Finland and Germany; in Finland there are almpost always great snowsports conditions in winter and in Germany it's just mud and dirt. But hey - I am returning from Finland to Germany tomorrow and it looks like there is enough good snow to gat active in Germany too. So I better take my XC-gear with me. COme over from Main and let's have a good ski together :-))
Cheers from Finland, Janne
Isn't it great that you can adapt to the conditions and pull out the vibrams instead of the skis.
