With Phatty and Phatty Jr in High Park. We met up with Phatty Jr. at 8am since he had taken the overnight bus from Ottawa - what a trooper!

To the climbing gym in TO with the Cameron sisters. A must do activity in prep for the G4 challenge. I have to admit that I felt much more comfortable on the last couple of climbs than the first couple. I can see how I will enjoy this with more practice. Too bad all of the gyms are so far away from here.

Run with Bash, Slowrunner and Rocky on the HVT. Legs are still a little tight from Monday - at least I will be able to tell when my recovery times are getting faster.

Phew - another hard one.....I hope people don't mind me grunting in the gym.

C • Thursday Run 2

To and from the gym.

Out with the Wednesday night crew. The trail is so much brighter with the snow on it. The snow was the perfect depth and consistency for good grip and cushion. Great run!

Oh boy! New phase in the workout with the goal to increase lactate threshold. More reps to burn out and man was I tired. Squats, lunges, step ups, leg press. I think I looked like a bit of a fool running home from the gym with wobbly legs.

Running to and from the gym. Felt strong running there...not so much on the way back.

PATHETIC first Thomass of the year for Leanimal. I punched 3 controls twice since I couldn't remember what order I was going in and I just got into a really bad groove right off the bat. I was hoping for better since I had contacts in for the first time. I even had one fine gentleman tell me that he thought I should be better since I was wearing tights - he is probably still out there in the tree I strung him up in.

The course was great and the temps were perfect. Slice had some fine redemption after last year....she destroyed me.....along with everyone else.

C • He deserved it! 5
