I felt "iffy" for much of this training, but nothing intolerable. Finally, towards the end, I caught my wind and felt really great about the workout. My fast 400 is at 2 minutes, which is pretty good but I feel like I'm pushing it really hard. However, I'm comfortable that this speed will become more natural in time.

I spoke to Jeff (one of our coaches) about my sporadic training, as well as my upcoming overnight snowshoe of the weekend. He felt good that I will be o.k. in the training, especially if I can handle a 16-mile snowshoe trip!
