This week I was recovering from the last ski trip. On Feb 18 I was able to run only 4.5 miles because of my quads stiffness. But on Feb 20 it looked much better, 6 miles for 59 min 18 sec.
Week 1:
This is the week we downhill skied. So I went skiing for 3 days (Feb 9, 10 and 12) and one day (Feb 11) we had a short hike.
The issue I had is not enough sleep. Because we drank after skiing a lot. For two days I had to nap in the afternoon.
