OOPS -- really did not intend to be away from AP so long! So I will be working on filling in Nov. and Dec. including some thoughts on Castlewood 8 hr. (which feels like -- and was -- ages ago).
1 PM
Skating (ice) 1:00:00 [2] shoes: Graf Ultra G5
More skating! Like I said, serious hockey obsession going on in our house (mostly son, but daughter is a fully willing participant). They start "Learn to Skate Hockey" (program taught by Lindenwood hockey coach and team members) Tuesday. So we'll see how that goes. Logged half time.
5 PM
Run (gravel, grass and paved) 37:32 [3] 3.72 mi (10:05 / mi) +398ft9:10 / mi
Short yet pathetic lap session @ the Spirit Center then re-joined the fam for splashy fun.
3 PM
Hiking30:00 [2] 2.0 mi (15:00 / mi)
Hiking w/ the fam @ Rivers Edge Park in Chest. valley. We had some time to kill before the skating session started. Nice little lake! I believe it is open to public paddling but need to confirm.
4 PM
Skating (ice) 1:00:00 [2] shoes: Graf Ultra G5
Skating @ Hardees Ice Plex w/ the fam. Kiddos get better and better every time. Logging half time.
Kiddos were totally pooped afterwards. Gave 'em a nice multi-sport workout today!! Great way to start the new year.
Heavy bag, sparring, and KM classes. Not a good night for elbows, shins, and feet. Scraped a somewhat sizeable piece of skin off my elbow/forearm, badly bruised my shin, and broke a blood vessel on the top of my foot which made it puff up all weird. Apparently, this is normal stuff.
Bike (paved) 1:11:56 [3] 14.57 mi (12.2 mph) +998ft shoes: MotoB Fly Team w/ stud tires
Ride around surrounding subdivision roads to finish studded tire break-in period. Rode w/ dilated pupils -- just got back from annual eye exam. 47 and I still have my 20/20 vision! Bam
