We headed to a local park and just trekked around the woods! There were some steep up and down hills but it was a lot of fun! We spent a little over an hour outside - it was really cold, about 6F when we started but it was beautiful!!
Brian and I just starting out on our hike!
The guys being silly!
The Hill we climbed up!
The view from the top of the hill before we climbed/slide down!
This morning I went to the gym and did 400m repeats on the treadmill. I didn't want to go too fast right off the bat and then fall off the treadmill so I started off around 6:58 min/mile pace and increased the pace for each following repeat. Then I looked online this morning and found this cool website/calculator thing that helps to convert your pace to actual time that you ran for a certain distance. It has a lot of options and I am not sure how accurate it actually is but I know that a lot of us are running inside and hoped this could help! I also found this treadmill pace chart that helps to shows your pace with a certain incline!

Snow shoeing looks so much fun! I've always wanted to try it! Great job on your "not that fast" run.
I am so excited that you posted the pictures! You have such an amazing pace!!!
snow shoeing sounds fun. I have never tried it but I would love to sometime! I am sure it could be a good workout too!
Thanks for the link! Have fun in all that snow :)
I would love to try that!
6*?! Ha, um, huge props for still heading out to trek around in the snow. ;)
I've never seen the treadmill calculator thing!! I always put mine on an incline just to "simulate" outdoor running...never thought about how it would affect the pace...
glad your pkg finally arrived!! I was a little worried, since I sent it out a while ago. ha! :) enjoy!
Looks fun! What a great crosstraining workout, too!
I've always wanted to try that. Looks like fun and a great workout.
It's so hard to imagine snow when it's beach weather here!
But it looks really cool; I've never seen one in action. Look at that Hill you climbed! That's a really cool pic!
Great pics! Looks like lots of fun.
I'm thinking about investing in a pair of shoe shoes! What brand of shoes did you use?
Looks like fun!
That looks like so much fun! I haven't gone snowshoeing for years. It is warming up here so I need to do that one of these weekends!

You need to have a talk with your boss. Imagine making a living getting in the way of your blogging!

I love snowshoeing. I actually have a pair and should take them out more often. Thanks for the treadmill links, too.
Looks like fun. I wonder how fast one could go with these :)
