My training log for the week of February 16th had just eight workouts. I got in 15 miles in runs and hikes, and only one strength workout.

I did a loop mostly along the Diversion Channel that I take to Balloon Fiesta. Nice view of the Five Sisters Volcanoes (aka Three Sisters Volcanoes) to the west and a view of the Sangre de Cristo Mountains to the north.

I shared this on Strava as a hike because I don’t know what the Strava rules say. But it was all dirt and 371′ of elevation gain, plus a “Feels like” of 30 degrees, so that probably helps qualify it as a hike!

It wasn’t too cold or too windy to run, but I decided to do a 30:00 P90X Generation Next workout if I could find one. Active Mobility is 32:00, and Waz Ashayer and the workout were both excellent.

Today I just went down to the Rio Grande and walked in the bosque and along the river.
Even though the wind chill was 31 when I did a loop that went through the park, I did see one lone dandelion. It reminded me that it is forecast to be in the mid 70s next week!

The last of the snow is still holding on. Even with a breeze, there was not wind chill today!

I saw lots of horses and ducks on my run this morning, and then I saw the most sandhill cranes I have ever seen in one place!
