I tried to duplicate the run yesterday after 28 inches of snow. It was a lot more challenging. I made it to the 2.5 mile point and turned around after walking some of it. It was a good workout,but I got tired because I was breaking fresh trail from the 1.5 mile mark. The beginning had been packed down by some other snowshoers, which made it easier. But once I reached their turnaround point it was a whole different story. <br /><br />It was beautiful to be out in the woods. There were 2 skiers and 3 snowshoers, including me.Read/Write/Runhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/11311290259562617538noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8720593195533651767.post-68173568317728750992011-01-17T01:53:32.565-05:002011-01-17T01:53:32.565-05:00Wow.

I was wearing running shoes with the snowshoes. The inside snowshoe bars would occasionally bump against insides of my ankles when striding. I only had a regular pair of running socks on at the time though. Tomorrow I plan on wearing a pair of thicker socks, which should protect my ankle from any issues. I think if I wore any type of boot, my feet would get hot. <br /><br />How about following me? I just started following you.<br /><br />Thanks for stopping by.<br /><br />KenRead/Write/Runhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/11311290259562617538noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8720593195533651767.post-87359183949627371132011-01-15T20:29:36.323-05:002011-01-15T20:29:36.323-05:00We got a perfect 9 inches of snow this past week, ...We got a perfect 9 inches of snow this past week, nice fluffy stuff too! Perfect for snowshoeing. Were you wearing running shoes? I'm wondering how you kicked yourself in the ankle :) I was wearing hiking boots, they kept my toes/ankles warm.

I didn't have time to go snowshoeing because I spent it digging out.<br /><br />Twila, I wish we only got 3 inches of snow. I can't believe we got 9 times that amount?!! This isn't Siberia last time I checked.<br /><br />Brooke, the workout is sort of like running with ankle weights on beach sand. You can tell by my times. It tires your legs out for sure,but I didn't have any lingering problems from it. I usually cover the same distance in under a 7:30 pace.<br /> <br />I'm going to try again this Sunday.

Sounds like fun running in those conditions. Wondering how the work out was different fitness wise (with snow shoe and so much snow) compared to your normal routine???Anonymoushttps://www.blogger.com/profile/08446547887536835301noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8720593195533651767.post-68729507721460966712011-01-11T08:16:29.535-05:002011-01-11T08:16:29.535-05:00Sounds fun!

The most we get around here is 2 to 3 inches and that is hard enough to run in.Twilahttps://www.blogger.com/profile/15727945979936457768noreply@blogger.com
