Banff Film Festival! Dreaming again. :)

'Bent and I thought yesterday might be our last ski of the year (again) but we ended up back at Scenic Caves this morning where 'Bent skied with Goose and Coach LD, and we had brief chats with Dee, Gally and Mrs. Gally. It was another glorious, cool day with remarkable snow conditions for late March. A nice bonus!

Nobody wanted to stop so we postponed our return to Caledon a little longer to go for one more ski around Scenic Caves. Coach LD came with me even though she hadn't brought classic skis, which was impressive. Another beautiful ski!

The window shade installer was coming to Tree Hugger Advanced Base Camp so ‘Bent and I went up for one more ski at Scenic Caves on a bluebird day. The forest trails were fast and in great condition with only a few thin spots. We saw two other people skiing but otherwise it felt like we had the place to ourselves. Time includes oooh-ahhh stops at both the lookouts.

TRX Boot Camp with Kristy. I took a few seconds from our 15-second rest breaks to stand up more slowly when we were alternating between prone and standing sets. It worked - I didn't feel like passing out tonight. Yay, small victories.

Sunny, chilly, chatty run with Mrs. Tiny around the trails and (mostly) gravel roads around Belfountain.

We did a loop from Higher Ground Coffee Co. through Belfountain Conservation Area (which still had some big ice patches), up to the edge of Forks of the Credit, down Puckering Lane and McLaren, then Bruce side trail up to Grange Rd. where we joined the main Bruce Trail. We ran to Devil's Pulpit to see the view then took roads back to the coffee shop for lunch. Fun run and a great workout!

My body is in minor shock after three 2-hr sessions in three days. Nice to get back to a regular training schedule.

Hip flexors are embarrassingly sore after skiing 20 km when I hadn't skied since early February!
