I had trouble with my hamstring and Achilles all month long and got a cortisone shot in my ankle. In all it was a disappointing month with only 241 miles run while missing 2 days. I only raced twice during the month (early on), both snowshoe races. I finished in fourth place at the Saratoga Winterfest 5k despite running a pretty quick 22:33 (7:16 pace). The following week I directed and raced in the Northfield Mountain snowshoe race. The field was VERY deep with many attempting to qualify for snowshoe nationals. I followed the long train in deep snow on the climb, keeping the leaders in sight. All heck broke loose on the descent as we hit the wide open groomed trail. I got smoked, finishing in 16th place.
