Snowshoeing

I had a lot of fun snowshoeing with Lifesgreat! We're tentatively planning another trip next week. Here's a pic of us all (LG, me, & Spinster).

Wow, what a lot of great snowshoeing posts to read and enjoy!!

Robyn- don't overdue it- take a rest day between hard workouts....but you probably know that already..

Auntie K- are those Tubbs "Odyssey" women's snowshoes I spy on you?? If so, they are exactly the same as my shoes!!

We still have a lousy 2" of snow on the ground, and no decent snow predicted over the next fews days.

Yes, I should have rested yesterday, but it didn't look like there would be any other good days for me to go before my trip to Vermont next week. I am going to go to spin class tonight and use very light resistance. My knee isn't that bad today, just a little stiff. I will be working all day, so I won't have time to think about it.
It's going to be SO cold this weekend...

Yes, I believe they are. At least I know they're Tubbs. I'll have to check on the "Odyssey" part next time I go (they are rentals). But, at least I'll know what to buy once it's time to invest. I do like them.

Finally enough snow to go snowshoeing this morning. It was about 20 degrees(F) and snowing lightly. I wore my nylon snowpants -lightly insulated, a polyester LS tee, a North Face fleece(fleece 100) top and a light waterproof/breathable jacket, my REI balaclava, my Goretex all leather hiking boots, wool socks and gaitors. We went about 3 miles on a slightly packed trail. I wasn't too warm, but I was tired that last mile. It was great. Tomorrow we're going cross country skiing.
