Training Log Archive: Bash

BulletDog and I did a quick ski of the Charlevoix Loop - not because I needed the training before tonight's C3 workout, but because it's such a treat to be able to ski at last! It was -15C, and I didn't wear warm enough gloves, but everything else felt fine. I've been cheating by using waxless classics on my last couple of skis, but I went back to using real gear today, and it was great to have glide again!

While watching the Daily Show, recorded last week. A fair bit of discussion on Fidel Castro's new artificial anus. I feel sorry for Adidas, since their logo was predominantly displayed on Castro's jacket in the video clip.

Ran in Caledon East with a small group of C3 diehards on a frigid night with light snow falling. My eyelashes got crunchy-frozen early on, and there were other small patches of ice on my face that I didn't notice until I got back - yikes. We only did 4 hill intervals this time, plus some loops of the big block. 'Bent was looking speedy in his cool new Salomon jacket from Phatty.

I need to think of a different way to describe tonight's session with Caron Shepley, because "Hard Core" doesn't seem sufficient to do it justice. Perhaps "Evil Core" or "Nasty, Difficult Core" or "Just Hold That Position for Another Count of 8." Ouch. No question, she was enjoying our pain. She's doing it all with us, so she's not purely a sadist. She's a masochist too.

Power Yoga to finish off the evening. There were a couple of things that I totally could not do, both of which involved holding my entire body up with my arms. (Or not.) Otherwise, it went well and felt great. My balance is improving slowly.
