XC Skiing 1:50:00 [3]
Skate session at Horseshoe with CoachLD and Goose. Those hills are something else! I struggled my way up and down them and had some spectacular bails. The only tracks that I've been on in France were much more rolling and far more confidence generating. I was pretty gassed by the end. My favourite part was when both of my skiing companions were casually cruising along at the same pace as me...except that they were double poling in the classic tracks while I was giving it what I had in full skate technique.

Trail Run 1:00:00 [3]
shoes: Salomon S-LAB 5 XT SOFTGROUND
Before dinner run with Leanimal to Wilson's Point, the Park and back home. A few snowmobiles were out on the lake today so perhaps we'll be able to ski on it before I leave after all.

Trail Run 1:45:00 [2]
shoes: Salomon S-LAB 5 XT SOFTGROUND
My back was killing me in the AM but once I started running (and thanks to some Aleve), all was fine. I joined Zoo and a few buddies from back in the day for a run in the freshly fallen snow along the Thames River north of Oxford St. We had first tracks so it was pretty sweet going. Once I got home and was stretching, my back went into complete spasm - excruciating pain. I wish this on no one!

Leanimal and I hooked up with Zoolander for a run at Komoka PP. Perfect weather and a cruisy pace. Caught a glimpse of Zoo's new show...it's going to be really, really good!

Swim 45:00 [3]
Went to the Aquatic Centre in London for a great Swimplan session in the 50m pool - what a difference vs 25m!

Swimplan session...it was war out there in the Burlington pool but I survived.

Trail Run 1:35:00 [3]
shoes: Salomon S-LAB 5 XT SOFTGROUND
Hamstring killing me from sitting on my a$$ all week - either working too much or in a plane. Didn't get as much out of the run from Kerncliff in Burlington as a result. Chilly but the trails were in good condition and I spent quite a bit of the time off trail, too.

XC Skiing 1:45:00 [3]
Pretty sweet skate session at Revard with some colleagues from work. While it was chucking rain (again) down low, it was snowing hard at 1,300m where the tracks are. The trails were pretty good and my waxing was right on (I can take no credit as a guy from work did it for me) which is different than my usual feeling of wanting to launch my skis into the woods. All of the technique tips from our Bolton coaches came in very handy!

The plan was to XC ski. However, upon arriving at Plateau des Glieres at 1,350m or so, I loosely understood that the trails were closed as they were too dangerous. Huh?!? It was chucking with rain from time to time and a thaw was definitely ongoing after last weekend's dump. I couldn't quite figure out why XC trails would be closed. So, I burned back home, grabbed my classic set up, and drove to the plow end on the backside of the Veyrier...only to see that the metre or so of snow had almost disappeared stemming from the rain. F%^&*(!!! Back home again, got out the spinning kit and went for it. Skiing just wasn't meant to be today...
Core Workout 1:00:00 [1]
Stretch that %^&'n right hammer out with a twisty yoga session.

Core Workout 1:00:00 [1]
Had planned on an after work mission on my classic skis but the p!ss!ng rain kind of spoiled that plan. So, fired up a yoga session instead.

Trail Run 1:20:00 [2]
shoes: Salomon XR Crossmax CS Neutral
Definitely the wrong shoes for this snowy run on the Veyrier. I wanted to check out where the plow ended and where XC ski opportunities began. As it turns out, I think I'll have a bit of classic terrain to conquer. I made my way up to Pre Vernet and then booked it downhill through the calf deep snow. Good fun until I hit the proper trail...it got stupid slippery and it's a little perilous for just the Crossmax. I needed SpikeCross as it was safer to bushwhack down the steep pitch then go on the trail in places.

Trail Run 1:05:00 [3]
shoes: Salomon S-LAB 5 XT SOFTGROUND
Super sloppy run on the HVT from the top of the 3rd section to Bolton with Goose and Bent. My legs were feeling pretty beaten up from 2 chiro sessions with Dr. Bell and the Hockley loop. Good to be back on the ol' stomping grounds!
Paddle 1:30:00 [1]
CoachLD, Goose, Leanimal, Pops and I had a great session down the Humber. Lots of erosion and debris to negotiate and as there has been a bit of rain of late, the flow was pretty good. Such a treat to go for a river paddle and fun company!

Trail Run 2:40:00 [3]
shoes: Salomon S-LAB 5 XT SOFTGROUND
Leanimal, The Harps, Bash, and I hit the Hockley loop in what looked like chilly conditions but ended up pretty much perfect for a late fall afternoon. The hills felt pretty good during the first half but I really started to fatigue on the run across the top. Great to talk AR with some Ontario folks again!
Went to Dr. Bell in Orillia for a second chiro appointment this week for some more pain train. Got to get past this nagging hamstring pain!

Finally got out and ran along the rail trail with Leanimal here in Orillia.
