Phatty and I are taking advantage of Grandma being around and headed out to the Horseshoe Valley area for a run. Sunny but a bit windy and cool. Some good hills along the route and it's amazing how much better I feel when I drink water on a run of this length. Who knew hydrating was so important?

Recovery run from yesterdays hills and ride. Legs felt heavy which is to be expected I guess, it just makes running less fun (than it already is). I am loving the warmer temps though.

Found a sweet yoga studio in Orillia. I went with my cousin who is up visiting our Grandma and there were only three of us total in the class. I hope this is because it is March Break and St. Patty's day because I would hate to see it close. It's been there for 4 years though, can't believe I haven't been there before. The instructor was incredible too. Perfect way to end the day before going home to watch a monster storm over the lake.

Hill workout x 5 on a much longer hill than last week. No Weeanimal though. Legs were trembling after the fifth.

Went up to the Y in Orillia for a spin class. It was a hill workout too. I can't stand classes that try to incorporate some kind of upper body workout into them by doing pushups on your handlebars. The instructor is a neighbour of my parents though so I made it look like I was doing them. I would rather just ride the bike.

Sweaty since the class was in one of the squash courts due to some major renovations. I feel like every time I get back to the Y in Orillia it is under some kind of rearrangement.

Not sure of the exact ski time since we stopped for photos on this glorious day. Went up to Arrowhead PP with the Doughty clan at the start of their March Break. Couldn't have been better weather and Coach LD and I did a loop first with some off trail skiing through the campground before joining up with KD. Coach and I did a snow tubing run with the Tav man before heading back out with KD. The snow on the lake was perfect so of course Coach couldn't resist and we headed along the shore for some perfect skiing.

I needed this day in the sun! Looks like tomorrow will be another good one for them.

Great day out with Goose, KD and Phatty at Hardwood. The trails were hard and fast and I suffered as always on the skate skis. Legs were tired from yesterday but the fact that Goose waxed our skis meant that I didn't have to work as hard as I would have had Phatty waxed them!
