Note
The spring session of Adventure Running Kids in Hamilton starts three weeks today and we just hit 147 kids! Very much on pace to easily break our autumn session of 155 kids (max we can take is 180). Wednesday at 5:30 has already sold out the 60 kid limit.
Interestingly our contact in Niagara anticipates we will sell out our 40 kid (max) pilot project in Niagara.
It also looks like ARK will place 2nd in the OTF People's Choice Awards. Thanks to everyone for the support. It has been awesome.

I should have realized that today was going to be a crappy day when Etoile locked me out of the house while I was putting out the recycling (and she drove off to work). It just got worse and worse.

Interesting how this hasn't made a big splash in the newspapers yet. How long until the first class action lawsuit against these fools?

blasting, easy biking and some yoga to follow (cold wind chill today so I stayed indoors). Orienteering tomorrow at Rocky Ridge! I was looking at the maps from NAOC 2006 and still think that Johnny F's middle race was one of the best elite performances in the last 10 years or so. NorAm Champ while still a junior! And he hasn't raced much since. Too bad.

core running drills during Winter ARK Finale.
Tonights winter ARK finale included the ARK Film Festival showing trailers from Go Death Racer, Road to London, and a variety of other videos.
best comment of the night about Go Death Racer...
'yeah that was totally the best video when those two guys puked' we had to explain to them it was the same guy both times. Hansel is now a hero among the ARK gang.

quick evening skate on the canal on the worst ice I've been on in a very long time (not good for the knees).

Wadd Squad snowshoeing in the Gats (2.5h count as 1.5). Absolutely awesome weather and very nice area to snowshoe. photos soon.
2 PM
Skiing 1:30:00 [3]
Following snowshoe met NevMonster in Old Chelsea at the bakery (yummm) then off to P7 for my first ski of the winter. The climb off the start was a rude start to the season and killed the already tired legs. I was then just hanging on for what seemed like an eternity. Legs and hips were screaming. XC skiing never felt so hard but the knees were 100% OK. Nev was kind to wait for me and was giving me tips to unlearn our Russ Evans ski teachings but I was just trying to survive. Weather was stellar for my first ever time in Ottawa in winter. Now its time for a swim and then off to skate on the canal if my legs will let me.

jogging, core, pushups during the map memory relay of hills, mud, mud, and more mud. felt like mid April tonight
Note
for the first time in a while (years!) I've got that 'niggly sore muscle pain/burn in my legs'. woohoo. not the acute pain of not having run in a while aches but that " I'm training well ache".
this is the most consistent training in some time though it is only two weeks long I'm feeling 'training tired' but loving that feeling. Next two days will be tough to train with travel and busy schedules but a rest day won't hurt.
