running 3:30:00 [3]

38k on a snowy mix of road and pathways along the Humber. Slow-going and a bit hard on the ankle, but felt good to get the km's logged regardless.

running 2:50:00 [3]

36km road run. First long run and first 100k week since August - ouchie. Much work to be done before February!

After a few snags with the travel company that we had to book through, Browner and I have now finally signed up for the Fuego y Agua trail ultra in Nicaragua. Very cool looking event on the Isla de Ometepe - an island in the middle of one of the ten largest freshwater lakes in the Western Hemisphere, that features two separate volcanoes that we'll be climbing up and over (one of which is apparently active - yikes!)

Browner's tackling the 25k while I try to pick up two more UTMB points via the 100k. Unfortunately, February is one of the hottest months in Central America with average temperatures exceeding 30 degrees, so I'm already bracing for another puke-fest. Should be fun!

Stupid spinning

swimming 20:00 [3]

Working to amp up my weekly hours, the plan was to make Tuesday's "stupid spinning/boring swimming" day. Unfortunately, I forgot that:

a) I hate lane swimming and should save it for only when I'm too injured to run

b) the pool is always way too busy at this time of year...

New weird lane configurations were too tight for the number of people there - after 20 minutes of bumping arms/bobbing behind pool noodle-ers, I gave up (and I am by NO means a superstar swimmer!)

Need a new Tuesday plan...

C • Masters swim... 8

running 2:05:00 [3]

Idea today was to do repeats of the Goat trail in the Don Valley, but I felt a little hypocrtical when I rolled my eyes behind a moutain biker who was slipping all over the place and making a mess of the trails. Bailed out onto the road and made up a much less interesting loop through Sunnybrook and back.
