Running - Trail 2:01:39 16.04 km (7:35 / km) +253m 7:02 / km
ahr:143 max:167 shoes: NB MT1010
Brutal fmat with Dr. PBV at Rattlesnake and Kelso. Thought we'd be able to knock out this loop in 90 mins, but turns out its still winter in Milton - at best molassess-y slush and knee deep post holing at worst.
Doc shortcutted down a side trail and left me alone for the second hour, he missed the best section of trail along the Kelso escarpment - but got back 20 minutes earlier, so guess he wins overall.

TNT! Super! Sudden! Awesome huge snowflakes! Long Aberdeen Hills, from the Rail Trail to the gravel trail near the bottom and back up again - almost exactly 5 mins long, so did 5 of them with 2 mins off.
The most fun I've had at TNT for a while, D-Bag and I were chuckling the whole way down on the first rep as we slipped and wobbled down in the slush and muck with the huge chunks of snow blowing in our eyes.
I was less chipper on the uphill and Sudden and D-Bag pulled away each time - but I made sure I caught turbo each time, which was pretty hard, cause he runs fast.
You could probably almost do this session without the rest, since the downhill is still kind of a recovery, 7 of those hills would be pretty soul destroying though.

Real ATB
Legs feeling good after a lazy couple of days. Lots of slush and mud - the new NB freebies did an excellent job in the varied conditions.
Kind of depressing on how much winter training I missed out on this year - I liked doing ATB regularly midweek through the winter, feel like I've been robbed of a season.

Running - Trail 25:00 [3] 5.0 km (5:00 / km)
shoes: NB MT110 2012b
Quick run to clear the head and move the legs round after doing an ARK clinic in a Kitchener school.
Can't remember exactly where I went, but I can promise it wasn't the location of this Sundays O-Cup race.
But if it was, I promise I stayed on the trails.
But if I didn't, I promise I didn't see any ribbons.

Core & Strength 20:00 [3]
Ran out of time to run due to dealing with a frustrating newspaper that had no ability to proof read anything, so had to settle for a mega-core session.

Solid effort with Trav on the trails, which were a little better than yesterday - though we both had a few close calls on the ice. Mixed it up a bit with some rail trail, other rarely used trails and also some post holing and a bit of crust cruising when the conditions were right.
Slowly things are getting better, pretty sure I heard some crows out there today.
