Cycling 1:40:00 [3]
Got the ‘bent set up with the winter wheels and studded tires.
Great ride around Palgrave. Hard going in the breakable crust in Palgrave West, but the Palgrave East singletrack is all packed and re-frozen, and I had summer-like grip.

Strength 40:00 [2]
Workout 2, rehab and core and some new shoulder work from Thumbs-of-death. Apparently it’s the long head of the bicep insertion, not a joint problem.

Running 59:00 [3]

Another tough lumpy run in, with AD
I had a bit of Fomo seeing the nice tracks in Palgrave East, but too much of my commute isn't skiable right now in the last section.
Slushy run home in the dark and pelting rain. Lovely. At least my feet stayed dry, even in slush-lakes.

XC Skiing 1:05:00 [2]
Ski in to work in heavily falling snow with the big boy.
Our tracks were gone on the return trip. A bit wet and slow, but the base is building up!
Note- R knee a bit sore from skate yesterday.

Snowshoe with Tarno and the quadruped boys.
Bushwhacking in deep powder! Brilliant Sunshine! -12C! We’d thought about running in spikes- no way on the minor trails. Good thing for the mighty Bazingadog- but he slacks on the steepest hill.
We met up with Bash, Jackie and Koko, and headed down the Bruce with them. The main trail is fairly well packed down.

I had brought my beater commuter waxless skis, but when I opened my ski bag I found my new skin skis from last year! Nice classic tour with Bash.
Amazing!

XC Skiing 1:00:00 [3]
Another ski to work- amazing for mid-Nov. Return trip by headlamp was getting a bit sparse and slow, even with a strongly hauling BZdog.
Wednesday Nov 13, 2019 #
XC Skiing 1:00:00 [3]
Excellent 2-dog ski around the ‘hood. The beasts were flying out the gate, but fairly sedate by the time we returned.
Would have gone further but had work issues.

Wahoo, first tracks to work! BZdog was very distracted by canine and deer tracks. Not much base, but basically early winter conditions in decent powder- amazing for mid- November. Snow still good for the ski home.

Recovery waddle commute with AD, just as the snow started. Definitely feeling worked, and my knee and glute on one side and hamstring on the other all feel it.
Sluggish but beautiful headlamp run home in the heavy snow. Ski tomorrow?

RTH with Tarno and MsGally.
Solid race with great teammates. My legs were pretty heavy from the get-go, and a fairly hard fall and a waist-deep river crossing didn’t help.
We were basically alone after the matrix, as the 3 hotshot male teams were long gone and we left Ursula and Julie’s team in Game of Thorns.
As expected, Bob/Jack/Luca won in a ridiculous time, while Harps/Mick/Scotty were close on their heels, and Storm wasn’t far behind.
Tarno was both fast and accurate, and MsGally is so tough we all pushed hard and worked together very well. I’m going to be sore tomorrow.
We ended up 4th overall, first masters and co-ed, but an hour behind the winners!
Bash, MsTiny and Browner won female too.

Yay, Scooby has a chain saw and likes to use it!
We got the whole log jumble cleared. He cut, I heaved.
Also brought in, split and stacked another load of wood.

Swimming 30:00 [3]
More lessons and general horsing around with the fam.
Apparently I’m getting better but freestyle still doesn’t feel sustainable yet.

LD60- Pics on Bash's log.
Ride to Pinet HQ for a hike, then to Tottenham for lunch with Hank, Bob and Shannon. Back to our place next to release the hounds, and get the canoe for the last leg.

Hiking 1:45:00 [1]
Hike around Palgrave with the gang, including Scooby and Gunda, The Hueys, Goose and the birthday Coach LD, and Tammy and her amazing mom.
Paddlng 1:47:00 [2]
Paddle down the Humber to the Goosenest. We saw herons and lots of deer.
We got hung up a couple of times resulting in very chilly soakers despite our neoprene booties, (my bad) but still a very enjoyable paddle.
Dinner, dessert and the usual homework puzzle made for another wonderful memorable day.

Dingle and Haffy with both dogs. Perfect pooch weather- cool with lots of creeks.
Note- tried my rx running glasses. They were fine until the rain, then they fogged a lot.

2-dog run around the ‘hood.
Note- my commute access to the trails is a jungle-gym of fallen trees.
Anyone have a chainsaw that runs on beer?
