Seniors deep water fitness class. Only male. Took the thinnest flotation belt. Spent the time working hard with barely a nostril above the waterline. Worked hard but got lapped by the ladies. Repeatedly. On land I am king. In the water, I am but a mere serf.

spinning in the gyming.

Hammering with weights and core. A bit better.

com com commute. Leg is not so bad on the open road.

spin bike in gym. Thrilling.

core and blasting. Should really put blasting in subscript based on power output. Maybe I'll call it Hammering. Just kidding Hammer, you're strong.

back in the saddle. commute.

Good brisk spin over lunch watching the weekend's sports highlights. Too many one handed catches in the NFL. Insane. Leg starting to feel better. Limp nearly gone.

35 painful minutes on the spin bike today. I hope I didn't through the girls doing cardio off with my sobbing.

back in the pool for more running laps. Leg was painful but feeling better after.

laps in the pool waiting for the deep water class to finish so I could get my water running in. Swam with the pull-bouy. Quad still sore and weak.

running the deep water course. one wall, turn and run up the other, turn and repeat. Thrilling, as you can imagine.

Dealing with the charlie horse from Sunday's Corporate Challenge Indoor Soccer Game. Walking is improving and limp may be gone by the weekend.

miserable rainy day but still reasonably fun.

5 peaks 1/2 marathon in Canmore. All the big guns out today so it was a fun race. Weather great and aside from a bit of grease, the course was in tip-top shape. Lots of big climbs and technical descents. Happy with finish. 7th overall.

Core plus chins and pushups.

Corporate challenge 10 km. Felt great for the first 3 km. Okay for the next 3 having settled into a steady tempo. When the guy I was running with started breathing harder I dropped the hammer on a climb over Glenmore on a pedestrian overpass. Ran hard off the overpass and kept the throttle on for the next km which was on grass. Made the turn to the finish, which was about 600-800 m of slight uphill on the road and basically died. Thoughts of walking danced through my head as I got passed by the guy who dropped me and another guy. All things considered though, was happy with the race and considering my lack of speed work and running over the past month, view it as an encouraging result. Next event, Canmore 5 peaks 1/2 marathon.

C • good job but... 11

Lunch hour run with Geoff. Tempo style. Good to get out on a nice day. Held a steady pace.

Another Adventure Science aircraft search in the high sierras. Checked one of two goal areas. Cleared the Pallisades glacier area but wasn't able to get into Dusy Basin due to time and weather. Visited a wreck site near Bishop...still finding bone fragments from the 36 passengers. Sobering. Will be adding content to the AS site to encourage hikers in the Sierra Nevada Mtns. to report any metal debris they find...should be a cool online way to help track down these missing airplanes.

Usual commute. Bit of a tail wind on the way in, nice head wind going home.
