Saturday Feb 23 |
| Run warm up/down (death jog) 18:00 [1] | |
| (sick) |
| I thought I might do the VaajTe practice at half speed but the warm-up felt so bad (sinuses) that I went home. Oh well, saved the map and maybe tomorrow if a miracle happens...One consolation is that it is icy as heck everywhere, although that didn't stop Julia with her extra "passenger" from trying to ski with poles with no tips left. She came right back and demanded new poles. Not until this baby gets out! |

| Yep, some kind of infection in the sinuses (sinusitis?). Not sure if this is the last cold that never quite got killed off--very possible--or something new. I am sure that this is the worst winter I have ever had for colds. 3 weeks of illness so far. Suggests I am doing something wrong. |
Thursday Feb 21 |
| Ski (classic) 1:18:00 [1]17 km (4:35 / km) | |

| Couldn't sleep so 5.30 AM with lamp. Seems like groomer laid down 3k of tracks and then decided to go back to bed. |
| Run 1:00:00 [1] | |
| |
| Escaped from work and dragged myself around Jyväsjärvi at a pathetic speed, chased by negative memes all the way--encompassing everything from the lack of a "kunnon talvi" to the end of the semicolon. Also ruminated on why I am keeping two parallel training diaries now.
Something bad happening in the sinuses... |
