Sunday Mar 25 |
| Running 2:00:00 [2] 20 km (6:00 / km) | |
| shoes: Salomon XA Pro 3D (ret.) |
| Long run down south, approximate time in [2]. Not a lot of snow was left in the fields. Still a good bit left in the forest though. There was a fair bit of water to step through, but it was ankle-deep or deeper in only a few places. Timberland was nicer than I was expecting... mostly snow-free, and it wasn't thoroughly wet/muddy. |
| Running 45:00 [1] 6 km (7:30 / km) | |

Friday Mar 23 |
| Skiing 45:58 [1] 7.9 km (5:49 / km) | |
| |
| Around the long trail (lap time 29:05) and short trail (11:49). I drove over to the park. The temperature just barely went below freezing overnight, so I wasn't sure if the ice surface on the lake would be firm. This will probably be my last ski for the season, conditions aren't getting any better. |
| Running 1:10:00 [2] 13.5 km (5:11 / km) | |
| shoes: Skechers Endorphin |
| To town and back, then around the park. |
Thursday Mar 22 |
| Skiing 37:20 [2] 8.5 km (4:24 / km) | |
| |
| Around the long trail (26:47) and short trail (10:33). The surface was frozen again after quite a bit of melting the past couple days. Conditions were fast but poor. About 1/3 of the long trail had been snowmobiled over, the track was very shallow in places, and there was some debris on the trail. |
| Skiing 9:19 [1] 1.5 km (6:13 / km) | |
| |
| To/from the trail. |
| Running 14:15 [2] 2.8 km (5:05 / km) | |

| Running intervals 22:49 [4] 6.28 km (3:38 / km) | |
| shoes: Salomon XA Pro 3D (ret.) |
| Same as Tuesday, except for the wind. It was about half as strong this time and only affected me, as a headwind, on the 1520. Times/rest: 0:34 (0:40) 0:36 (1:06) 1:38 (1:02) 1:36 (1:12) 3:52 (2:11) 6:05 (3:14) 3:52 (1:56) 1:42 (1:12) 1:39 (1:19) 0:37 (0:36) 0:38. Not too bad, I guess. Looks like it will be some time before I get good speed back, though. |
| Running 55:00 [1] 8 km (6:52 / km) | |
| shoes: Salomon XA Pro 3D (ret.) |
| Jogging between the intervals, and cooldown. |

Tuesday Mar 20 |

| |
| Around the long trail (28:06). |
| Running 16:00 [2] 3 km (5:20 / km) | |
| shoes: Salomon XA Pro 3D (ret.) |
| Warm up. |
| Running intervals 25:17 [4] 6.28 km (4:02 / km) | |
| shoes: Salomon XA Pro 3D (ret.) |
| Along roads. Too slow again, unless I can say the 35 km/h wind justifies my slowless. But it was a side wind most of the time. Distances/times/rest: 2×195, 2×470, 1050, 1520, 1050, 2×470, 2×195 m; 0:38 (0:38) 0:39 (0:59) 1:47 (1:13) 1:42 (1:12) 4:00 (2:22) 7:25 (3:50) 4:10 (1:55) 1:51 (1:11) 1:47 (1:50) 0:38 (0:39) 0:40. I suppose the jogging pace on the 1520 deserves some explanation... I had a headwind for the first 1/3, was barely moving at times when strong gusts came, and then didn't recover. |

| |
| Around the long trail twice (30:18, 31:05) and short trail once (13:33). Conditions were still good, and I hope the warmer weather that's supposed to start tomorrow doesn't make the trails deteriorate quickly. |

Sunday Mar 18 |
| Running 2:15:00 [2] 24 km (5:38 / km) | |
| shoes: Skechers Endorphin |
| Long run down south. Felt quite good, except for a bit of soreness in the beginning. A few unusual things had been going on... a couple sections of trail had been plowed (both from a road to a ditch crossing), a bunch of trees alongside a trail had been cut down, and there was a licence plate (expiry Sep 07) in the snow along another trail. |

Then ran on other roads and was much slower. There was some ice and wind, but not enough to justify my slowness. Gave up on the last couple I had planned to do... should have kept going though, don't need to get in the habit of quitting when things don't go that well. |

| Running 55:00 [1] 8 km (6:52 / km) | |
| shoes: Salomon XA Pro 3D (ret.) |
| Slower parts of the run. Nice, warm morning. Ran up the river along nice snowmobile tracks to the first bridge. There weren't any tracks past the bridge, so I didn't carry on along the river. Went along the roads instead to the second bridge, where I saw some old tracks leading upstream. Followed them for a couple minutes until they ended at a large fallen tree. Then went back to the second bridge, along the roads to the first bridge, and back along the river. Took a bunch of pictures, and they're on my site. |
