Winter is coming!  It is getting colder in Minnesota and the frequency of seeing my foggy breath from cold air is increasing.  My first races of the season will happen a little over a month from now in West Yellowstone, MT.  I am doing the last dryland training for the year over the next 2-3 weeks in preparation.

I should have updated earlier this week but I got super busy and the training load was very high this past week.  Thursday I had my skate rollerski TT and did very well… I won and I skied very fast… I’ll go at it again in 2 weeks time to see if I can improve on my time.  My ankle felt good all week and I am know running with very minimal pain and rollerskiing pain free.

My mother in-law, Sherri, was very surprised on Saturday because we had a Surprise Party for her 50th B-Day.  It was a lot of fun and I cannot believe everyone was successful at keeping this from her over the last 3 months during all the planning.
