Weekly Summary 12/23/13-12/29/13

Mileage: ~45; Elevation: ~7400′

Monday: 2 miles. With a busy evening ahead of me, I decided to just get in a brisk walk during my lunch break.

Wednesday: ~11 miles. For Christmas Day Megan and I went to hike on the La Luz Trail. The bottom half of the trail was relatively snow free, but nearing the top it became more snowy, slowing us down quite a bit. We rode the tram down, then ran/hiked the three miles back to the car in the dark.
