Running (Trail) 2:05:28 [3] 16.67 km (7:32 / km) +140m 7:13 / km
slept:6.5 shoes: Salomon SpikeCross - 2nd pair
Tour de Halton Forest - Browner, Scout and AdventureDog encouraged me on my longest run in awhile. I went without an ankle brace and used a healthy amount of Leukotape to keep my left foot in the correct position.
Before we started, a dog walker started a pleasant conversation as he was returning to his car. I blinked a couple of times then asked, "Doug Innes?" It was! I hadn't seen him in a few years and he hadn't recognized me either. We talked a bit more. He seems to be doing well.
Browner and I had a good catch-up as we did a nice route through Halton Forest. It was a nice mix of double and single track, and the rocks were a good test for my ankle. If I can get through a 2-hour run there, I can probably try running anywhere - if I tape up, anyway.
The dogs had a fantastic time, which only got better when we returned to Browner and Storm's place for coffee and snacks, which allowed Contour and AdventureDog to play too.
[I turned off my Ambit for 2 km and 13 mins so I've used Browner's info.]

Strength & Mobility (Lumberjack - Xmas Tree) 20:00
I'd hoped to buy a Christmas tree at Albion Orchards on my way home. My friend Scott Lunau owns the farm, and we've talked daily for the past 3 days about his problems getting his order of pre-cut trees delivered before the weekend. When I arrived, there was a crowd of eager families and a fairly small pile of trees. He caught my eye and said sadly, "They shorted me. Look - there are hardly any."
He also grows trees so I took pity on him and decided to take a saw, head out to the back field and cut down a Christmas tree for the first time in my life. Naturally, I chose a fairly large tree that was near the back of the field. It took me awhile to cut it down as I lay in the mud in my (formerly) clean down jacket. Then I had to carry the heavy tree back, scrambling up and down hills and getting sap all over myself. It was awesome.
At home, I carried it into the back yard, levelled off the bottom, trimmed a bunch of branches, heaved it into the stand, and added half a dozen strings of lights. All this Christmas lumberjack (lumberjill?) work made our 2-hour run seem easy!
Tomorrow we celebrate Hanukkah with 'Bent's family. It will not be loggable on Attackpoint.
