Friday Mar 31 |
 | cycling hills 45:00 [3] | |
| slept:9.0 |
| We did about a 20min hill which was lots of fun, and we did some sprinting too. It was a great way to start a Friday even though I don't have school today. |
Thursday Mar 30 |
| running 40:00 [2] | |
| |
| Had our second junior training progam thingymadooer with the rest of the juniors. Cherie's brother talked about nutrition and then we went for a run together. Went down to Briatannia and went for a pretty nice run. It's about time to get the shorts out now. |
Wednesday Mar 29 |
| running long 1:05:30 [2]12 km (5:28 / km) | |
| slept:8.5 |
| We kindof ran a little part of every single route we've ever done. It was beautiful this morning again and thankfully we went in the direction where the sun wasn't in our eyes. We've got another run tonight with the junior training program so I think we'll do a shorter one tomorrow. |
Tuesday Mar 28 |
| running 32:00 [2]5.5 km (5:49 / km) | |
| slept:7.5 |
| Didn't get out very early so had to cut our run short, but it was beautiful outside!!! And there was actually a path that we could run on instead of just snow and ice. Spring is almost here!!! |
Sunday Mar 26 |
| orienteering 2:00:00 [2]*** 8 km (15:00 / km) | |
| |
| We travelled to Sedberg, (spelling???) to check out a map that the club is considering using for a race. It was really cool because there was a boarding school surronded by 4 humungus hills. We, (my dad, Eric, Molly, Robbie and I) decided to get to the peak of all 4 of them. It was a lot of fun, especially with the 2 feet of snow. It was up to my knees most of the time but it was still awesome!!! The views were wicked and the weather was spectacular. We made it to all 4 peaks but by the end, I thought my feet were gone. They were almost frozen solid, (well maybe not, but they hurt a lot!!!) Anyways, it would be a really cool place to orienteer except that it's an hour away. |
Friday Mar 24 |
| cycling 50:00 [3] | |
| |
| OK, we did a lot of things, so I'll try and remember them all!!! First, we did about an 8min hill and then something else I can't remember. Then another 4min hill and after some sprints and jumps. Have you ever tried jumps??? They're brutal!!! Anyways, then, after we had recovered, we did some 1,2, 3, thing that I forget what it was called. All in all, it was an awesome class and I felt like I really worked hard this time. |
Thursday Mar 23 |
| running 34:00 [2]6.5 km (5:14 / km) | |
| |
| Just did our short route because my dad's knee is still recovering from injuring it last week. After the run, had to rush through breakfast, having shower, and then walking quite briskly to school so that I wouldn't be late for band. |
Monday Mar 20 |
| school sports 45:00 [2] | |
| |
| Played some basketball with Eric and Molly although, we didn't follow any of the rules... It was still awesome though!!! |
Sunday Mar 19 |
| running long 1:20:00 [2]9 km (8:53 / km) | |
| |
| I dragged myslef out of bed at 7:40am on a holiday so I could go running!!!!!!! It was intense though! We ran on a lot of the ponds but they where pretty tricky. Some places were thick enough to stand on, but then there were other places that you go through, I was lucky enough to never find one but my dad and Eric did. Haha, no soakers for me!!! |
| orienteering race 1:00:00 [3]5.5 km (10:55 / km) | |
| |
| My dad set up a course for us and my overall time was 27:59, but once Eric and I had finished. We decided to play a little trick. We found my dad and Ian, (which took forever!!!) and I'd run past them saying something like "Can't talk, Eric's right behind me."And then, a little bit after, Eric would run past. We must've done it about 3 times and it was pretty funny. I think I actually ran faster doing that than doing the race. |
Saturday Mar 18 |
| hiking 50:00 [1]3.5 km (14:17 / km) | |
| |
| We went back to the pond where we saw the beavers for a shore lunch so we had to hike in and out. (Although, we took the trail this time) |
| running tempo (trails) 35:00 [3]5.5 km (6:22 / km) | |
| |
| Took Eric out with us but it was almost pitch black by the time we got out. My dad lead us through this labrynth of trails and I had no idea of where I was going. It was still a lot of fun though... |
Friday Mar 17 |
| skating (some hockey too) 1:30:00 [1] | |
| |
| The lake wasn't frozen enough to skate on, so we cleared off a rink on one of the ponds which was pretty great. |
| running long (forest and trail) 1:20:00 [2]** 6.5 km (12:18 / km) | |
| |
| After the skating, we literally just ran into the woods to do some running in the forest. It was a lot of thick green, but if you ran on the ponds, it was great. We even saw 5 beavers!!! The weather had been absolutely superb!!! |
Thursday Mar 16 |
| running (trails) 1:15:00 [2]8.7 km (8:37 / km) | |
| |
| It was beautiful weather!!! A chrystal clear blue sky and just the right temperature to be not too hot or too chilly. We followed the skidoo trails which made it kind of bumpy but for the most of it it was great. Although, I did get a soaker on my right foot. That was pretty cold!!! |
Wednesday Mar 15 |
| Note | |
| |
| We're heading up to the cottage for the rest of the March Break, so I should get a lot of training in. But seeing as there aren't any computers, I'll have to wait until Sunday to enter them... |
| stairs warm up/down 20:00 [5] | |
| |
| Since it was unlikely that I'd be able to get out for a run, I decided to just run up and down the stairs in our front hallway. The only problem was that it's carpeted... carpet burn really hurts!!! |
| stretching 30:00 [1] | |
| |
| Eric showed me some Karate stretches which were pretty cool. Although, some of them really hurt!!! :-( I don't think I'd do very well in a class because I was laughing so hard I looked like a maniac. |
Monday Mar 13 |
| running tempo 20:00 [4]5 km (4:00 / km) | |
| |
| We did one f those "gotta fit it in before dinner runs" so we could only fit in 20min. Was a pretty fast pace though. The paths were awful because of the rain. |
Sunday Mar 12 |
| running 30:18 [3]6.5 km (4:40 / km) | |
| |
| We've been out camping all weekend, so we haven't been able to get out. Wanted to atleast start the week on with a run, so we just kind of ran out the door before dinner. I was wearing my new jacket and it was awesome. It was a fantastic run and it felt really good afterwards. |
Thursday Mar 9 |
| running tempo 33:30 [2]6.5 km (5:09 / km) | |
| |
| It's been a week since I went running, so it was a bit harder to get back into the "groove". We were going to do a longer loop, but I needed enough time to get to band. |
| school sports (Houseleague) 45:00 [2] | |
| |
| This time there were two more people from my team, but the whole other team didn't show up! So we had to pull random people from the people that were there to watch. I still had a lot of fun though. |
Wednesday Mar 8 |
| skating long (Rideau Canal) 1:15:00 [2]6 km (12:30 / km) | |
| |
| We were going to go skiing, but the conditions would've been awful because it was warm during the day, but then it cooled off. Totally icey!!! SO instead, we went to the canal for maybe the last skate of the year, but even that was kind of bumpy in a lot of places. |
| |
| C • Did you eat a beaver tail? :) 4 |
Monday Mar 6 |
| Note | |
| (rest day) |
| Still recovering from the race on Sunday. I'm still sooo sore!!! My knees are also pretty bruised up aswell... |
Sunday Mar 5 |
| X-country skiing race (Ottawa Ski-0) 1:31:26 [3]* 9.82 km (9:19 / km) +335m 7:57 / km | |
| spiked:11/13c weight:43.1kg |
| Was a great day for skiing with the sun shining and the temperature just a little bit cold. For almost the whole race Eric and I leaped frog. He'd be ahead but then make a mistake and I'd look around and see him behind him. "What'she doing there???" He can skate faster but I always got ahead because of his mistakes. It was really hilly but I quite liked it!!! Eric did beat me by 5min though. ;-) |
Saturday Mar 4 |
| X-country skiing long (classic and skating) 1:45:00 [2]10 km (10:30 / km) +90m 10:03 / km | |
| |
| Wanted to get out so we could practise for the ski-o tomorrow. We haven't been able to get out all year!!! It was a lot of fun and the weather was awesome. Hopefully it will be like that tomorrow. |
Friday Mar 3 |
| cycling intervals (a couple of hills) 55:00 [4] | |
| slept:8.0 |
| It was an even awesomer class this week than it was last week!!! We did a really long hill first and then did some intervals. The cool think about them was that there were 5 other people in the class, so each of us took turns saying "Start" and "Stop". It was a lot of fun except my legs were like jello trying to get down the stairs. |
Thursday Mar 2 |
| running 50:20 [2]8.5 km (5:55 / km) | |
| |
| Did our usual route, but this time we met this gimungus dog that was really scary!!! I never want to get a dog like that!!! They're a hazard to runners!!! |
| school sports (Houseleague) 45:00 [2] | |
| |
| I was that only person on our team that showed up so we split the other team in half and played three on three. Wasn't too bad and it was much better than the gym period we had earlier in the morning!!! It sucked!!! We had to run around in circles for 10min because the teacher said that we were all really out of shape. She doesn't know who she's talking to!!! ;-( |
