Training Log Archive: 'Bent

Pleasant couple of hours beating the heck out of more big knotty logs with maul, wedge and sledge, stacking the good bits and hauling off the rotten stuff to the woods. Only a tonne or so left now to move...

C • wedge and sledge 3

Bruce trail run with Bash. Once again on the Quest for no ice, we went to Kerncliff.
First part was pancake-flat, but once we got to Grindstone creek there were some hills, and I repeated the climb out 3x in different directions. Bash and I ran together for the first part and some cooldown, and saw each other often on the repeats.

Nice to see some different terrain. Running speed was OK, but felt the left medial heel by the end, and legs were getting tired. Not exactly where I want to be this time of the season.

Woo hoo, rail trail is thawed enough for me to ride to my meeting. Soft and soggy West of Humber station with several deadfalls and the odd snow patch, but the limestone is dry East of there at least to Caledon East.
Drag-raced a deer, saw rabbits and ducks, heard peepers. Night ride back was nice too.

Warmup run with 2 dogs, and a short run in between Shlepping sets, followed by a run to work on snow-covered icy lumps.

2 sessions with my buddy Shlepp. Easier on some snowy sections, hard on frozen mole-hills. I was able to multitask and deliver a big log using Schlepp like a sluggish sled.

Really does feel like running hills!

Took advantage of the -9C temps to go mideval on some of the big knotty logs for an hour or so.

I was drenched by the end, but I got some decent splits out of the nasties.

Easy night run home. Only needed the headlamp for the last bit!

Post- Passover waddle from my Mom's place around Earl Bales, the site of my ill-fated o-cup.
Snow over muck, with some paved trail.

Heaving and hauling, but no splitting today. Also foot/kneehab.

Bear Mtn DVD, but took it a bit easier than Bash (and had to fix my chain ).
