The last day of March is supposed to be in the 2nd week of spring. Well, not in this part of the world this year! Winter is here in a big way. My typical training run on the last day of March treated me to 2 feet of snow at the summit. The most I saw up there all winter was only 3 inches. The sun was shining and doing a fairly good job of cutting the chill. March was a good month overall. Nearly 200 miles of running with a bunch of elevation gain. Climbed about 25000 feet for the month, but most of that was in the first week, during my race on the 20th and in the past week.
Some pictures from March 31st - 4.4 miles up to the summit at 3500 feet and 4.4 miles back down to the Lake at 960 feet. Adding in the 2.2 miles to and from the trail totals an 11 mile run.

And finally, a quick clip running downhill in the sloppy snow around the 2500 foot level. Planned to get more clips, but dead batteries!
