Copper Harbor

On Friday after running an hour and a half (!!) with Dan on the trails of Marquette, we packed up the RV, picked up our friend Tyler at work and headed up to Copper Harbor for the weekend. On Saturday Dan and Tyler mountain biked all of the peaks in the Keweenaw which was about 80 miles and over 10 hours in the saddle! I spent the morning running on the awesome trails right from our campsite at Fort Wilkins State Park. Level 3 intervals-5×8 minutes. That night I ran into a couple of friends from Houghton, Karl Walczack and Margot Hutchins, and we made plans for an over distance run the next morning. We spent three hours on Sunday morning running on forest roads and enjoying the great weather. I felt really good running and the company was great! 

Training for this week looks good. I have 2 interval sessions which I am looking forward to as well as a specific strength workout which is always one of my favorites! On Friday Dan and I are headed to Traverse City, MI. Friday night I will be doing a presentation and on Saturday morning a rollerski clinic with the Vasa skiers.
