As any one who lives in the northeast knows, this winter has been really snowy and really cold! While the snow makes for a pretty landscape it makes training for a marathon tough. In the month of January we have had 9 days of snow totally 24 inches in Boston. Leaving the sidewalks icy and snow covered. As a result we have been doing a bit of indoor training. On one weekend our DFMC training run was canceled due to snow! Heidi, Mike and Christine headed out on our own the day before the snow came in 15 degree cold and ran 10 miles. Other than the cold it was a beautiful day.
Sharon and Christine’s taper for the Miami marathon was in full swing over Martin Luther King weekend. Christine was in Boston and chose to crank out her final 8 miler indoors. Sharon was fortunate to be visiting friends in San Francisco, so her 8 miler was extremely hilly! 
The following day, Sharon was also treated to a hike on the Tennessee Valley trail in Marin County which included a maximum elevation of 860 ft! The hike was capped off perfectly with a visit to “Joe’s Taco Lounge” in Mill Valley (highly recommended).
