Not much new to report about my running training these days. Hip is still inflammed, so my runs have been rather half hearted and unmotivated. Luckily there is lots and lots of fresh pow in the mountains behind my house... Now, I ski like I run, slow and careful ;-) BUT, yesterday saw me hurtling down my first, second and third Double Black Diamond ski run at Grouse Mountain. Yippeh! Thanks to EJ Powderhound for the hours of training and ActionJackson for pushing me off the ledge!
Tomorrow, the little Jackson's, OverTheHill Jackson (aka Action Jackson), the Montgomery's and this Turtlepace are snowshoeing up to Elphin Shelter in Garibaldi Provincial Park to spend the night. My only concern is the access road to the trail head (seems every year we almost go over the cliff) and how our language student from Japan will survive his first back country trip ever.
Hopefully, running form will return soon.
