| Around Forks Of The Credit PP. Very nice. Felt pretty hot in the open sunny spots but nice on the closed trails. Wanted to jump into the waterfall to cool myself off. There were some uphills and some downhills and some flattish areas. Lots of monarch butterflies. |

| First run since this weekend's clutz attack. Thigh felt tight and a wee bit sore at the begining but eventually warmed up and felt good except for on steep fast downhills. Ran around the trails of U of T Erindale and the surrounding neighbourhoods. Even did a sad excuse of a bushwhack trying to link up two roads - too many backyards though so I couldn't make it through. Ah, the urban existence! |

| Out for a much anticipated ride with the Divas through the Gats. Leanimal, La Femme and Dog Runner were all in attendence and after a lovely luncheon at the Scone Witch we hit the trails with smiles bright and spirits high. I was lovin' being back on my "home" trails and was probably a little too taken with the scenery to really be looking where I was going because sure enough, soon after we left the parking lot, I did a patented Pye head-over-the-handlebars move which landed my left thigh on a pointy rock and my ass over tea-kettle. The immediate pain was definitely felt in my thigh but I managed to grit through it and was back up on my bike after a few minutes of meditative breathing. I was determined to tough it out but eventually a gradually worsening pain in my right wrist forced me to start worrying a bit. Anyway, I went for X-Rays yesterday and the attending doc said that he didn't see any fractures so that's good news. The wrist is coming along but does some funny clicks and sends up some shooting pain every now and again. Hopefully things will heal up with some self-administered physio, but 'till then paddling and riding are out and lots and lots of icing is in. Running will have to wait a wee bit longer too 'till I work out the beautiful hematoma in my thigh. Ah, the life of a high-velocity clutz...... Sympathy messages may be left in today's comments. Thanks.

| Yoga session with Leanimal at Evergreen yoga. Wow. It's been a while since I did any serious yoga. This probably wasn't the best class to start with either. Think trying to fold a piece of rusty iron in half, or make a piece of raw bacon do the plank. Wasn't pretty. Good workout for the ego. Ouch! |

| Running on roads near the Palgrave Palace. Yes, roads. Didn't take time to wear the trails out today because I wanted to give the old legs a good spin. Glad I did. The legs felt near-normal this evening which brought a smile back on my face. I don't hate running afterall! Saw a cute widdle baby bunny and some cute widdle baby wild turkeys with their wild turkey mama. |

| Good paddle with the Imperial Dragons. Spent the first 45 on the left then switched to right. Shoulders were complaining a bit but it was soooo nice to get back into a boat that actually MOVES! Sorry Tomcat, I don't miss you. |

| Palgrave trails with Leanimal. Felt like hell, but it was pretty darn hot out so I'm trying to not be too hard on myself for it. We were out for about an hour but walked the last 15min or so. |

| Nice n' easy on the Palgrave West O-map to work out the kinks. Legs felt tired on the hills, and there was some mild discomfort in the ankle flexor tendons at the begining but otherwise the bod felt pretty good. The mugginess and the blackflies were out to welcome me back to Ontscario. |
