XC Skiing Skijor 14:04 2.88 km (4:53 / km) +9m 4:49 / km
ahr:133 max:167 shoes: Landsem Touring Telemark
4:36 PM; Hamline Midway
-4.4 °C; Snow
Had to take advantage of the deep snow cover. Even waxed and polished the old Landsem touring telemarks after sanding out some burrs, well worth it. As usual, we were the neighborhood attraction with the folks digging out their cars and their sidewalks. One rough-looking lady called "Dude, this is so awesome! You are so cool!" I don't hear that every day. Very few interaction with vehicles, the few we saw were moving slower than us and waved. Awesome indeed!

It wasn't raining yet, so no reason not to take the bike. Not much competition. Nice tailwind, too and no frozen puddles, either. A few runners, mostly UMN ROTC. One bike at TPC, also an All-City model.

Pleasant ride, a little more meltwater on roads and trails. Quite a bit of traffic, had to wait a few times. I think the UMN campus connector bus driver was checking his FB, he stood almost during the entire duration of the green light at Como with me and a car behind him. I still made the light, the car behind did not.

Decided on a longer walk today because the next few days do not walking-like. Pleasant temp today, and little wind. Snow was soft, especially Mellie would sink in to her belly when climbing snow piles. Heard a variety of song birds. Eventually spring will come.

Mild temps made for slushy snow and muddy meadows. There was a women's track meet at Hamline, saw runners during warm-up and cool-down throughout. when we were on the home stretch, less than a block from home, one young woman on her way home (Bethel student) stopped and asked if she could pet the dogs. She paid for her kindness with a few muddy paw prints from Roux on her white jersey. She said she did not mind and certainly seemed to enjoy snuggling with the dogs.

Uneventful ride home. a little bit of a headwind, a little wetter than yesterday, but nothing too bad. Definitely could feel going up Ramsey Hill, yesterday.

Yoga 31:46
ahr:123 max:151 shoes: Barefoot
7:00 AM; Downtown Minneapolis YMCA
Noticing my weaknesses, had a hard time lifting my leg in a side plank position. Got to work on that. While I felt tired from the various exercises but I am not sore tonight! Progress!

Warmup before yoga. Walked fast from bike room to Y and then onto 9 minutes on the lateral elliptical. The lateral elliptical. Interesting, good way to practice keeping the torso centered.

Walking through the hood to check for missing Mellie. I suspect the side gate was blown open by the rather strong southerly wind. I've seen Mellie sit in front of that gate when the wind is coming from the south. Time to get a latch.

Quite a southerly breeze, making me think that that's how Mellie escaped, gate swung open. Trails and roads pretty dry, certainly not much snow left, except in deep shade.

Rode to Bad Weather to meet up with some old colleagues from West. checked for the missing dog along the way, nothing to be found. Uneventful ride, Paul and Dave the Ox were awaiting me.

3.8 °C; Clear
Great to meet Paul, Dave and Mike for a beer at Bad Weather. Places we work(ed), families and politics thoroughly discussed. Had a fish taco and a crab cake from the food truck, excellent but overpriced for the quantity. Beer: the golden Belgian strong ale was very good and the pilsener decent. Riding home, starting by climbing Ramsey Hill, always something to give those lungs a good workout. The rest of the ride was rather bla, but a nice sunset and many potholes to avoid. Got home, James checked out FB neighborhood community, somebody posted they found Mellie.

Lovely morning walk, stopping a couple of times for some drone footage. Coldest morning of the weekend but bright and clear. The Porkies and the Penokees are clearly visible this morning.
