| Did circuits in the gym in groups but there were only 3 girls in a group of 19. So I was all alone with 5 other guys but it was still fun. First circuit was the plank and we all had a competition to see who could stay the longest. 3 of us were still going when we had to switch stations. Some of the other circuits were jumping thingymadooers, crunches, hand stands against the wall, lunges, hurdles (which were fun cause I've never done them before) and ball throw. I think I've gained some respect amongst the people that were in my group. ;-) |
| running (track) 15:00 [4] | |
| |
| Not sure of the exact times, but we did two loops. The first was pretty fast and it was the longer one, but I managed to stay pretty much in the lead pack for most of it. Caught a few people on the hill and then the "sprint" in. The second loop was shorter, but I was more tired so I didn't go as fast, although the other people were tired too so I just had to keep up to the leader. Go NHS x-country running team!!!! :P |
| running 34:52 [1] | |
| |
| Did a cool-down run just down to the river but not as far down as we usually go. Knees weren't too sore until the end and it was so nice out I just had to go for another run after track. |
Wednesday Mar 28 |
| running tempo 50:20 [3]10.8 km (4:40 / km) | |
| |
| Decided to try out 10km and see how close we were to under 45min. We actually did pretty well since right at the 10km mark we were at 46min 54sec! Just need to shave off 2 more minutes. We might've been closer except that right down island park and at some spots along the river, the wind was coming right at us. It didn't matter which way we were running, it was just always against us. Really pushed it the extra 800m cause I was thinking about track season starting very soon!! No pain no gain!!! :P |
Tuesday Mar 27 |
| running tempo 33:50 [3]7.6 km (4:27 / km) | |
| |
| Had to get a quick run in before jazz band practise so we decided on a quick, very quick, run down to island park and then back. Started out at a pretty good speed and then by the end we had setteled into a even and a bit slower pace. Another beautiful day and finally into shorts and t-shirt. |
Monday Mar 26 |
| running 1:01:02 [2] | |
| (injured) |
| Same run along the river as I did before except instead of going down Island Park we (my dad and I) just went straight down to the river, up the river for 20mins and then back the same route. Knees were super sore at the beginning so I ran on the grass, but even when I was walking to school it was painful! |

| Pretty good class and it didn't hurt my knee or ankle at all!!! Did 3 pretty tough hills and the last one was 13min long!!! The class went by soooo fast too. |
| running 1:22:00 [2]13.5 km (6:04 / km) | |
| (injured) |
| Ran to Portage Bridge and back route: http://www.gmap-pedometer.com/?r=796594
My knee was sore near the end, but my ankle didn't hurt at all. Beautiful day so I couldn't resist running along the river and we're now into shorts and t-shirt weather. Still some snow patches left on the path but other than that it was amazing!!! |
Thursday Mar 22 |

| It was such a nice day that I just to go running and I'm glad cause it felt really good. Didn't push it too hard so that I don't re-injure my knee or ankle and there were only a few aches and pains while running. |

| I think that I'm going to go crazy from seeing all of the fair-weather runnings starting to run. They're all over the place now that we've finally got some warm weather!!! But I can't run!!!!! |
Sunday Mar 18 |
| X-country skiing (classic) 1:20:00 [3] | |
| (injured) |
| An amazing ski and probably our last! For some reason, skiing does hurt my knee or ankle at all, so it was good to get out again since I've inactive pretty much all last week. The tracks were pretty sketchy in some spots but most of it was ok. Since my dad was skate skiing, he'd ski ahead, and then back to where I was...we did that all the way to the top of Pink Lake Hill where we took a break. I think it took us 40min to get to the top which is pretty good for classic. Although I hardly stopped at all and I just chugged along keeping my eyes on the track. Beautiful night out with lots of stars...but tomorrow I have to go back to school so no more lazing around... :P |

| got an "ankle sock" that seems to really help, and I managed to flee from my sister up the stairs at the speed that I normally do except my mom says I should let it heal. I'm heading up to the cottage, and I really really really want to go running, so maybe I'll have to sneak out into the woods and toodle around in there :P |
Monday Mar 12 |
| X-country skiing 4:00:00 [2]22 km (10:55 / km) | |
| (injured) |
| My knee and ankle were sore this morning when I got up, but thankfully skiing on it was ok aslong as I didn't turn or jerk it a certain way. Skiied back out to the parking lot, and then back along Lac Phillip with just the 4 kids while the adults drove the cars to P16. A really long ski, but it was sooo nice and I could actually get going pretty fast!!! Stopped for lunch at Herridge and then continued. Really nervous about the hills because I knew that a wipeout would be very painful. Fortunately, it was so warm and the snow was so slushy, it was hard to get any speed at all. So much for snow plowing!!! It seems that walking is way more painful that skiing, not sure why, but I just hope I'll be able to run on my leg soon!!! |
Sunday Mar 11 |
| X-country skiing 1:30:00 [1] | |
| (injured) |
| Skiied into the cabin I think a total of 6km but 3km of it was terrible. We had taken this "short cut" to the trail and since it wasn't actually on a trail, turning the corner I fell. I had my big bag on so when I landed on my already bent leg, my kneecap popped out. Pretty sore after that but I put ice on it once we got to the cabin but I have a feeling it's going to be very sore tomorrow. I fell asleep on the bench and when I woke up my ankle was sore. I must've done something to it when I fell but I just didn't notice. A real bummer!!! Beautiful day though and the cabin is soooo cute!!! |

Saturday Mar 10 |
| running 1:09:00 [1] | |
| |
| Not a good run. I just wasn't in the running mood today. The roads were pretty icy, and when I was down by the river, it was all snowbanks along the path. Had to force myself to keep running a lot too. |
Friday Mar 9 |
| cycling hills 45:00 [3] | |
| |
| Different spin teacher but atleast this time I actually got a cool down before running off to band. We did 3 hills. Each one getting longer. Pretty tough but seemed like a really short class. |
| X-country skiing 1:30:00 [2] | |
| |
| Went up to P10 and did the parkway and then the #3 trail. Some pretty hard hills there, but it was equaled out with the downhill parts. Got back out to the parkway and decided to take a more round about way of getting back which turned out to be quite interesting in the dark. Plus, the trail that we were on was a "difficult" one so there were lots of kickass uphills and even more kickass downhills with lots of turns. Since it was so dark, we didn't have any depth or distance perception. It was also really really hard to see the bumps on the trail, so it really took you by surprise when you went over some bump inexpectingly. Really nice that the whole last 5min was straight downhill but it was a bit cold. Great ski though!!! :P |

Ran back to the pool |
| orienteering 52:14 [2]*** | |
| 19c |
| Orienteered in the streets of Kanata which was cool, except I was dumb and didn't bring my headlamp with me so I had to read the map in the dark. That was quite interesting. Didn't make too many mistakes, and the ones that I did make was because I couldn't see what the control feature was... |

Sunday Mar 4 |

| Event: OOC Ski-O at Nakkertok, Cantley QC
|
| X-country skiing race (ski-o) 1:42:00 [3]12 km (8:30 / km) | |
| |
| I can't think of a more awkward sport!!! With skiing and orienteering separate, you can go pretty fast, but when you mix the too, it's sooo slow!!! I had to stop a bunch of times to fix everything that was pinned onto me, and pretty much every time you look at the map, you need to stop. Other than that though, it was a great race. Really nice in the back even though you had to classic most of it. Even did a little bit bush whacking, although that didn't work very well. Unfortunately, or Fortunately, the course avoided all of the giant hills at Nakkertok, but it was still very tiring on the back counrty trails. |

| strength 30:00 [4] | |

| Did a lot of ab work plus the classic push-ups and stair runs. |
| X-country skiing 1:15:00 [2] | |
| |
| Crappiest ski in the world!!! Decided to try back country classic, but unfortunately, we put the wrong wax on so the new snow was sticking to the bottom of our skiis!!! At some points, the skiis weren't even touching the ground anymore, it was like wearing a pair of high heels. We had to keep stopping to scrape it off or else it would've been like a walk in the woods, instead of a ski. Climbed this really big hill and then on the way down it was snowing super hard. We actually got up some speed but that meant the snow flew into our eyes and we were blinded...not fun either! |
Friday Mar 2 |
| cycling long 50:00 [1] | |
| |
| Endurance class which was nice because I haven't gone in ages!!! Had to rush out before the cool down to get to band on time, not fun. It feels really weird to be biking 1 minute, and then be running full speed in 20cm snow!!! :P |
