Snowshoeing (Deep Powder) 1:19:53 5.13 km (15:35 / km) +148m 13:37 / km
shoes: Salomon XR Crossmax CS pink/gr
New Year's Eve night snowshoe tour of Palgrave West with Funderstorm, Browner, STORM, 'Bent, Scout, Contour, AdventureDog and BazingaDog. The fluffy snow was mid-shin to knee-deep, and we went bushwhacking for more hills and excitement.
During our first steep downhill, we realized - as STORM bravely clung to two leashes while being dragged downhill face first through logging debris - that we had been too successful in finding excitement.
With three strong dogs on leash and AdventureDog out front, every pooch was in a big hurry for a different reason. Funderstorm and I, the only ones not holding leashes, sometimes had to jog to catch up. After that, we aimed for more trails and flatter bushwhacking although there were still some tricky downhills.
When we reached an open field in Wheelie Woods with snowflakes swirling around, Browner revealed that instead of emergency gear, her pack contained Fireball Cinnamon Whiskey and paper cups! So we had a little celebration to welcome 2017 before we hiked home. Beautiful winter night!

Rodney Yee Power Yoga to kick off New Year's Eve. Hopefully, this will lead to aligned chakras and peace on earth. Both dogs helped me a little.

Physio, balance, Dr. Bell and Coach Jeff. My New Year's training goals are bound to include a lot more of this so I figured I might as well get started.
I was inspired by re-reading Alex Hutchinson's Sweat Science article on The Benefits of Having Ankles. [Not the exact title]
