My AP log feels sad.

C • Hey, Hermes' log, cheer up.... 7

Attempted a run at 3 stage but forgot shoes. Glad I did because it was a zoo. Home and then to Peaks. Climb with a loop around the top. Peak + Loree trails are in perfect shape!

C • Forgot your shoes 5

To 6th line with Bob and I graciously accepted help on all the climbs because it felt like day 3 of an expedition race (and by felt I mean I was probably moving like...). Good times.

Georgian trail on my MTB with a little tour on the way home.

Got some arms in before the game.

Camperdown and Loree with my new neighbour! She doesn't make fun of me (to my face) when I huff and puff.

Hoping to sneak some Pilates in this evening too.

Squat series

2x Sideroad 7 w/poles right to the trail head this time.

Beautiful evening to be out and about.

Giant's Re-enterant Race with funderstorm and Amber. This dream team started after a successful training day at Eliminator Adventure Run.

Fun relay style start with a big climb. Shortly after that we totally nailed the Canada 150 and then things went south for about an hour trying to locate cp 2. After crossing the bridge I suppose we were meant to go west on the trail but through temptation we somehow ended up almost looping back down to the field near the bridge. I was very impressed with how the ladies talked the scenario out and got us back on track.

After this bobble we discussed our only choices. We decided to move forward collecting mandatory cp's which was A-OK by all of us. Lots of laughs and fun throughout the day. I always learn so much out there and today I feel especially confident identifying a re-enterant! Beautiful area to spend a day. Always grateful to be on the other side of the fence enjoying a race as a participant. ;)

Zzzzz.

Easy cruise with Bob. Nice to be on a lady seat!

Loree

So many muscles so many purposes.

Good effort

Seat is getting painful with the extra weight. Yikes. :(

Warm up spin

Dropped Bob in Heathcote and ran a loop back to the car. T-shirt weather! So nice!

Climbed the CN Tower with my teaching partner. Happy to have been there with her today and see her accomplish her big goal.
Next time we'd be there hours earlier - line ups made me super anxious!

C • Fun, right? 7

Followed Bob out the door while he did his run. Camperdown to Loree - trails weren't ideal but I persevered.

Arms
More lunges

Thornbury/Clarksburg return via 33/town line/Clarksburg.

I can run road again with my new band. Yay!

Joined Bob on his crash training. 2x Sideroad 7b - probably 500m shy of Scenic caves but zero cars. Lovely. Used poles and held my own.

Bailed on my spin because I didn't feel fantastic.

Arms
Reverse lunges
Bulgarian split squats.

It's finally come to this...Bob dropped me off on the BT at Blantyre and I started out toward 2nd Concession. We crossed paths just over 7km. 7.5 for Bobby. Then I continued onto the car so I could pick him up at my start. We both got to run point to point and Bob didn't have to suffer thru my pathetic pace. Ouch. This is probably my limit as after 2 hours my butt hurts and I start peeing every 3 minutes. "Pregnancy is beautiful" they said. "You'll glow" they said...

C • No one ever said you wouldn't have to pee . 2
