Perfect weather for my first canal skate. The ice had some rough spots and a section was closed but I had fun working on the skate-O for the SE end. Chatted to two local vendors about sponsoring and/or providing answers to clues. They thought it would be fun but they can't confirm when they will be open or have the staff to respond to enquiries. So will have to stick to visual clues.

Nice walk along the canal to the end of the skateway. Ice looked ok, so I will try it out in the morning before the forecasted thaw.

Wanted to skate but the canal was not in great shape and covered in snow. So I walked the fifth ave. section and updated the map.

Lost track of time with the music pumping through the headphones. Hip was sore but I didn't stop. Tired tonight.

First time I completed the 5k Revelstoke look since the injection. Took it relatively easy, hip is stiff but ok. Shovelled the bit of snow off 3 driveways and a good stretch afterwards. Saw 161 for the first time since Xmas.

Short walk to stretch my legs. Was mild and traffic free until some guy nearly ran me over at the last intersection. I was bracing to leap up onto his hood when he finally noticed me.
Will walk in the daylight from now on.

Hip still sore form Friday's injection so I took it easy and doubled back half way around Revelstoke. Nice and mild, wished I could have done more.
Good stretch and strength afterwards.
