Training Log Archive: Nev-Monster

Didn't ski the Birkie and just went for a run to get myself out of the house after spending the day either watching Olympics, reading, writing stuff and running errands.

Saw the Rural Alberta Advantage for the second time. They are really, really good. Also, their drummer is a dead ringer for Zuga but slightly less intense.

Well, due to running with Torrance, decided to try to pick-up the pace for the run tonight. Felt good other than the big hill by the U of A.

Air Canada having a seat sale right before the Olympics? Why thank-you very much.

Interesting day at work, our department is having budget slashed, but due to all the empty positions, no one's going to be affected that much. Unless you count a Ministry of International Relations with no money for say, international travel. Ministry of Health is getting way, way more money as obviously there's no way that a single dollar could be saved in that Ministry.

Great night for a run, felt pretty good out there. Must be the lack of altitude.

And I got a decent sleep last night (indoors and everything).

Or it was that I bought 2 tickets to the Olympic Mens Ski Relay!

So here I'm having a chilled out run by myself and I see this guy with crazy arms, and as he passes me, it's Brian Torrance of the Edmonton Thunder doing a tempo run. Well, I got to run with him for a while and of course it's up the big hill by the U of A. Brian was able to have a totally normal conversation; I was not. Reminded me of running with Bunston a bit, except Brian doesn't talk that much.

Skate ski at the Canmore Nordic Centre. Pretty much a perfect day to ski

My god these are hard ski trails.

Lots of Euros out skiing. Saw an American on his cell going down one of the hills. The Italians were hammering out there (wasn't sure which ones).
