Resistance

I opted for the SS as it had flat pedals. So I could wear Sorels. That was a win. Barmitts were also a win. And the downhill ski helmet. And goggles.

Sunny day....minimal wind. A lot of pedalling with the SS.

Everyone (including the super built guy in the bootcamp class) was moving stiffly today. So it isn't just me!

Dang magnetic north pole is moving away at an accelerating pace.

More heavy weights.
12 reps a first weight
Then 8 at a heavier weight
Then 6 at heavier still
Then 4
Then 2
Or in the case of barbell squats, 1 final rep.
With core stuff supersets

I worked in the London area today and actually managed to get my $!*# together enough to go to the 5:30 spin class at the Movati South (same franchise as here in K'ville). Same spin bikes, different spin on the routine. Sweaty!

Heavy weights.....go to failure.

I got the call to spare at Wheatley tonight (which has the best ice I have played on in my limited hockey lifetime) . There were 2 on the bench which means you take the position of whoever comes off, gasping for air. As a commited D, I went out of my comfort zone and played winger. When a Centre came off, I deferred to a better player. She wouldn't let me do that the next time. Nor the next. I even took a faceoff. Due to some awesome teamwork, I scored 3 times. In a row. I may have scored 3 goals in my life before this (not counting the ones I accidentally deflected into our own net).
With only 2 on the bench there was lots of skating time!

D invited me to come skiing in their woods. Yes! Point Pelee is still closed for the deer cull so to be able to ski in the woods on such a windy day is a treat.
So nice in the woods! Sunshine is always a delight, regardless of the temp. It was good to have a chatty putter around the woods.

One of those nights where it is warmer on the ice surface than outside.....

But if I didn't have to go to work tomorrow, I would be doing a midnight ski.
