<p>Good afternoon all,</p>
<p> </p>
<p>I had been planning to hit up the local open indoor meet this morning, but I bagged it...yesterday's trail run took a lot out of me. All that snow running worked my legs and feet in unusual ways and I decided a recovery day today would make more a lot more sense. Of course, a "recovery run" day for me is (or at least can be) a long run day for DW, and she's due for one today. So it's looking like 7 super easy miles, probably at the snow covered lake trail.</p>
<p> </p>
<p>BBS - I'm in the market for a new mountain bike too. After basically getting my super-elite road bike for next to nothing last year (a co-worker basically gave it to me and I spent some $ to get it tuned up, properly fitted, etc.), I have budget to turn over the MTB now. From what I can tell you can get a reasonably good one for $500-700. </p>
<p> </p>
<p>I beg to differ though about MTBs not counting as a workout. Mountain/trail biking is not as fast but it can be hard as hell. It's all what you make it.</p>
