Workout 2011: Day 1

This is my first workout day of 2011. It's off to a great start. 55 minutes of snowshoeing in my new snowshoes. I've want to go snowshoeing for years now. This year I got snowshoes and poles for Christmas and was ready to enjoy winter in a new way. I find it kind of like a cross between two things I enjoy: skiing and hiking. I've found the more packed the snow, the easier the workout. That fresh, untouched snow in an open valley, through the forest, or down a dirt road... That's the good stuff. I did a combo of packed and virgin snow on this snowshoeing trek.
