Winter Training in the Frozen North


Winter training is continuing here in the frozen tundra, but it's not all bad. Although tonight's 4-mile run occurred in the dark, cold, and icey-pellet type snow hitting my face, last week I cross country skii 4 times, including two times in the scenic woods surrounding my home town of Houghton, NY.

In fact, I was joined by fellow Dr. K Strider, Michael K. Raybuck, during one of those sessions.

I actually used my Garmin and conducted a 5-K time trial in the woods, and averaged about 10:58 per mile. Seems slow, but skiing is slower than running.

Enjoy the video clip below of Michael K. Raybuck skiing in the scenic forest surrounding Houghton.
