Paddling (Kayak Erg) 30:00 [2]
slept:7.5
I'm doing this to build strength and endurance for poling in skiing and running. Actually, although we've put our boats away for the winter, outdoor paddling conditions are still just fine. Maybe we'll have to throw our canoe on the roof when our family goes to Deerhurst during the holidays.
Time to head out to Party # 3 in three days - two for Christmas and one for Hanukkah and some family birthdays. Weight loss plan goes into action tomorrow morning!

Running hills (Trail & Bushwhacking) 1:02:06 [2] 6.68 km (9:18 / km) +221m 7:59 / km
slept:5.0 shoes: Salomon Fellraiser Purple
Easy run/trek with poles to check out some of the nearby climbs for hill training potential. I want to be consistent about training for hills every week until Lavaredo in June. There are lots of ways to do this - strength training, practising with poles (including skiing and snowshoeing), using a stair climber, snowshoeing, dragging a tire, etc. - but it's also nice to just stomp up some hills! The best climbs around here involve some bushwhacking, which will be easier when we get SNOW.

Strength & Mobility (Core) 20:00 [2]
Hard Core Live with Caron
Power Yoga 51:00 [1]
Tonight's class was heavy on variations of pigeon pose, which meant modifications to suit my unhappy right knee. I'd forgotten about the colourful bruising and cuts on that knee from my fall on rocks during Saturday's race. I'm hoping that's why it doesn't feel quite right after today's run.
3 PM
Running (Trail) 1:08:27 9.24 km (7:24 / km) +182m 6:44 / km
slept:8.0 shoes: Salomon S-Lab XT 5 Softground
First run since the 50K - probably a little farther than it should have been since I could feel a reprise of my end-of-race creakiness in the final 2K after stopping to chat with a neighbour on the trail. Because of the imminent FES in the forecast (100% chance), I stayed on trails close to home.

Mountain Biking (Single Track) 1:01:56 13.03 km (12.6 kph) +196m
slept:7.0
Thanks to Arthurd, I was reminded that the sun sets freakishly early this week so I snuck out to the Palgrave East single track for the last hour of daylight. I'd rather be skiing or snowshoeing on Dec. 9 but I'm happy to spend any time in the forest. This late in the season, I would have expected some fallen trees across the trail but the elves have been working hard, and the trails had virtually no debris - barely any leaves or twigs. Impressive!
I found several signs of holiday spirit, including this. :)
