Training Log Archive: Yukon King

dark & unsettling weather, grumpy dog. walked over to Taylor Park via Cortina and then home. Had tea, made posh salmon dinner & ate it in "the dining room" looking out over Richmond, then Green & Black's organic chocolate sampler for dessert. That was a rather better than the walk.
Note: R knee is a bit congested last two days, not too bad but notable.

feeling a bit lo-key today since not enuf sleep - did trot up to Highgate to p/u pkg, but lost power bigtime after that - staggered down to the parkway to sit for a bit, then down thru woods & up thru woods & home, met lotsa dogs, gorgeous, absolutely gorgeous day but really wiped out - probably order in some blissful pizza for dinner & call it a day...oof...

colder & windy today - went up behind Cortina, down to the park, met Shane the Park Guy, dug after some voles, then back up thru Southwind. Decided to make a pot of chai today & relax a bit as not so energetic. Thai tofu tonight, yum! asparagus, red pepper, maybe fancy-cut carrot shapes? then the last bit of pineapple for dessert.

not quite so much sleep last night, but I'm comin' back anyhow. Getting my menu mojo back too - it may be time next week to do some fun "magazine clipping" recipes....

train stn & over to Station Sq to p/u meds & red pepper, grapes, etc. then fabulous dog-walk, 2+ hr in the bright early summer sunshine - windy so over to the woods, down along the creek, then thru the woods & sat in sun near the top of Stairmaster - meandered in meadows of flowers, wandered in woods, listened to nuthatches honking & squirrels burbling & pipping, saw a rufous, met dogs, dug after moles, read a book, had snax, sunbathed, chewed a stick...sounds like summer, really...
since dogsitter did not eat perogies & sausages, am going to whip them up for dinner tonight along w/ mushrooms, onions, & sour cream. Plus snow-pea-carrot stirfry & a big plate of icey green grapes, yum!

evening walk while D went for a run - met a huge fat Rottweiler named Princess. Went for astonishingly gigantic desserts at Boston Pizza, one will definitely be enough next time!!!

Slept another nice 8.5, yay! took it easy today over to the park - mini-picnic only. G reluctant as usual to come home but passed out exhausted as soon as we get home. warm, misty sunshine...

mostly lay on the floor & breathed & focussed probably half the time, still muy tired...or actually it is just perceiving that no depth/no stamina thing, I guess, it is getting better every day tho. Bit of RoM, bit of yoga, R knee is improving.
Tea-time, lil bit more taxes, then a tamale casserole, nice and easy!

team dog-whupping on the bed after we watched a DVD of 07 Acura Florida regattas. She is SOOoo cute, waving her (actually rather impressive) fang collection around , growling & flailing & attacking pillows.

various bits of walking - dogwalk down to the parkway, across & hastily back home (G could NOT believe what a cr*ppy short walk that was!) prefaced by Dr office visit (took taxi there, but bus back) in AM, and followed by trip downtown on train to St Paul's in PM.
Knee is doing a bit better, slept a solid 8.5 hr, and hopefully the transfusion gives me a few more cards to play with. Am generally feeling a bit better, but still feeble, no stamina not even usual SickChick stamina. But have hi hopes for improvement now!
Tomorrow, will finish back-taxes for the girls, and then G & I are hoping to spend the day at the park, getting warmer in BC, yay!!!

team-dog-walloping right after dinner for all of us, initially fun but then a bit queasy-making for everyone. Overall worth it.

morning walk w G. It is so peaceful in our neighborhood & I am SOooo glad to be home. Tweee-tweee go the birds...D comes home later today.
Strapped R knee again. Still very tired.
