Running and Laughing through the Golden State
Running and Laughing through the Golden State

As I run more trails, I’ve been looking for ways to carry fuel which led to the CamelBak Zephyr 10L Running Vest. Camelback actually just released new packs and vests.

I’ve been snowshoeing before, but that was nearly a decade ago. I went to college in Upstate New York, where we had snow from October to May. Sometimes it got to be -30. However, that was nearly 8 years ago now, and my body has adapted to not being in the cold. New Jersey got cold, but it rarely got below 20 degrees. Napa, California, gets colder than I thought (the lows are often around 30), but Napa gets a lot of freezing rain (which, in my opinion, might be worse than snow). Anyway, I haven’t been snowshoeing in years.

February training was not quite what I anticipated, but then again, none of 2020 was either. Today, March 1st, I celebrate the year anniversary of my last race. During the race, I broke my foot.
I’ve learned a lot about myself since then. As cliche as it sounds, I thought I was “ready to get fit” then. I was not. I needed time to build back up. Since taking breaking my foot and recovering, I’ve run some of the highest mileage weeks I have in a long time. Even though I have zero races coming up, I’m enjoying running more and longer. I look forward to the day I can actually showcase some fitness…who knows when that will be.
