Note

Muscles were unexpectedly sore after Saturdays Hill climbing. Give it a few more days and I'll be back to full strength ready for more! Really hoping to improve my endurance on the hillside. It would be interesting to see how many of my mistakes were made after a hard climb. Too many in my books.

shoes: Asics Gel-1130

Many reps on Carlington Hill. Brought the first Boulder Dash long map with me and relived my race. It was nice to run with a map in hand.

Running 30:32 [1] 5.7 km (5:21 / km)
shoes: Asics Gel-1130

It's days like these that bring validity to those American claims that we live in arctic conditions. The farm was unpleasently hostile. I'm talking brain freezing, eye popping, face crystalizing cold. Nothing like a heavy dose of -32° windchill to numb everything on your body without two layers and freeze your neck-warmer to your nose.

shoes: Asics Gel-1130

Cut tempo run short after detecting twinges left knee. Paranoid about getting injured with half my family visiting Sport Therapists.

XC-Skiing 2:10:00 [1]

Finally! A ski I enjoyed. Avoided cold extremities and excellent snow conditions. That is to say the snow conditions were excellent, not that I avoided them, the conditions I mean.

Brain not working, need food.

Ran into the sunset for 20 minutes along the river. With my bright yellow shirt I'm sure I was shining almost as bright.

There are few things as uncomfortable but rewarding as a good interval session. Just kept reminding myself "Pain is weakness leaving the body."

Running 23:16 [2] 5.6 km (4:09 / km)

Raced a friend home from Carleton. He's not very athletic so we both agreed he should get a 10 minute head start. I was surprised how fast I ended up running as I was carrying a light bag and it was snowy in parts.
