Revelstoke 5K again. Stopped to talk with old friends along they way so it was actually a bit longer.

Finally put together a "formal" set of 12 strength and stretch routines as recommended by my physio 2 weeks ago. Have been too sore to do some of the routine. A couple of movements are still painful. Have to get serious about this so I am going to schedule this 30 minute routine every second day until I can do two sets in comfort. I will schedule my daily one hour walk/ski/bike/snowshoe at a separate time with a stretch.

The 5 K Revelstoke loop in mild weather and big puddles.

Glutes were really stiff so I took it easy followed by 1 set of my stretch & strength routine. So many friends are sick I am concerned about getting at all run-down.

Slowish walk on the snowy sidewalks and roads around Revelstoke. Hip complained mildly the whole way. Really stiff now - gotta go stretch.

Felt awful at lunch, so I had a nap but still felt like I was battling some bug. I headed out for a walk feeling very stiff. Glutes really sore. Almost turned around after 5 min. but I statrted to warm up and feel better. So I finished the 5K loop with energy to spare. Add in 20 minutes of show shovelling and I think I have earned my glass of wine with dinner. : )

A quick spin before dinner. Hip is very stiff today. Can barely bend to tie my shoes. Skating really agrivates it. Anyway,with all the new snow and mild temperatures it may be the end of the canal ice for this season.

Lousy ice from the very cold temperatures meant for a very slow and cautious skate. Was very stiff in any case and never got into a good rhythm. More snow coming so I am looking forward to a good ski in the next couple of days.
