Here`s the perfect hiking boot for anyone who enjoys the feel of a trail runner but needs the support, stiffness and protection of a boot. The feel of this shoe is very similar to the XA Pro or the XT Wings from Salomon but offers the stiffness and protection of a large hiking boot. The boot didn`t seem to need any breaking in, and was light enough that I didn`t find my feet or shins fatiguing even after hours of hiking. All though the Quest 4D GTX is deceivingly light it still has all the features you`d expect in a heavy duty hiking boot: Gore-Tex waterproofing to keep your feet dry…a thermoplastic urethane midsole to protect you from the gound and provide flex and stability to the boot… and the Contragrip rubber outsole to keep your feeet nicely secured to the trail. Overall, the Salomon Quest 4D GTX is the best boot I`ve had the pleasure of wearing in many years.

This morning we started out at 6am again with a gym workout. We have moved to some different workouts now instead of strength. This workout included Box jumps, Front and rear lunges with one foot on the bosi ball, and sidewalking with a theraband around our ankles.
This evening after work we went for a road ride in Bragg Creek. We used our mountain bikes and started from the Bragg Creek Mall parking lot and rode 15km to the Moose Mountain road. We then turned around and rode back. It was a beautiful evening and the sun was out the whole time. It was warm enough for shorts and t-shirts except for where it was shaded and the cold was reflecting off the snow on the sides of the road.
It was very exciting and uplifting to our spirits to finally be outside riding the bikes again. It was nice to see that all of the hard work in the basement training all winter is paying off as we get outside.
