Cycling 45:00 [1]
shoes: Asics Gel-1140

Conditions were strangely hostile and quite good at the same time. Road conditions were better then summer. All the rain washed off the dirt then it froze and with the snow created a smooth coat that filled the cracks and bumps of the road as well as creating an easily gripped surface for the tires. Strong wind and face burning particles of snow was not so nice though.

Running (Hill Training) 20:00 [4]
shoes: Asics Gel-1140

Carlington Hill with Emily. Few, man that was tough. Glad I went though. 8 repetitions, 2 min each. By #5 I was getting worried I wasn't going to make it but luckily Emily made an executive decission to extend our rest time for another 30 seconds. Summoned the strength of 5 runners on the final repetition and burned up the hill.

Running 1:30:00 [1]
shoes: Old Runners

Ran to the end of the canal past the art gallery. Was really nice day. Ran over the shadow of the parliament buildings. I passed a man coming back when all of a sudden I heard someone behind me. I thought the guy was trying to pass me back so I sped up. After about 2 km we came to a road crossing. It was then that I found out I was actually being chased by some girl training. She ended up turning around at the road and returning from wherever she came from. It was all somewhat surprising.
