| Out for a quick n dirt bike with La Femme. Did the pink lake trails and booted it back along the road since our brakes were acting funky. |

| Only got part way to work today before I blew my back tire. Since I'm a knob and don't carry a pump with me I had to be rescued by my dad. He brought my mountain bike so I could get myself home. |
| Biking (commute) 1:00:00 [2]24 km (2:30 / km) | |
| |
| Biked home on the old mountain bike. It actually wasn't that much slower than my road bike. I might take it again tomorrow - especially since that means I don't have to fix the flat on my road bike right away. |

| |
| Completed the Ottawa Half Marathon. I always forget how much my body hates running on roads but I couldn't pass up a free entry from my school. Great day for racing though; 14 degrees and light rain at times. I think next year I'll only run the 1/2 if it's with a student. |

| I did the Nordion 5km race with 3 students. None of them had run that far before so they were very happy with their accomplishment. I went a little overboard and dressed all in Sens gear. |

| Hockey 1:00:00 [4] | |
| |
| FINNNALLLY feel better. I had the mumps. Hopefully sleeping for two weeks is a good taper strategy for the 1/2 marathon on Sunday. I don't have a time goal so we'll just see how she goes...
Made a huge Fisher type hit in tonights hockey game. It was totally accidental but it was kinda fun to actually use all the equipment I lug around all game. Maybe I can sub in for Eves if he bangs his noggen again. Go Sens Go! |
Monday May 21 |
| Running 40:00 [4] | |
| |
| First time the body has had to work in a week. Still sick but with fears of turning into a mush ball I went for a quick run up at La Femme's cottage. |

| Orienteering 3:00:00 [1] | |
| |
| After 4 days of sleeping, I managed to drag myself out of bed to go orienteering (only because I'd already paid for the meet). With sickness still kicking my ass I decided to walk the course. Man does it ever take a long time to get around when you're walking and your brain is in dumb-dumb mode. I only finished half the course in the allotted time... Awards were being given out when I finally got back. Maybe staying in bed would have been a better idea after all. |

| (sick) |
| Sick from standing out in the cold rain for 4 hours on Wednesday coaching soccer. The girls won their first game but lost the second - which ended our season. |

| Slow run with Mochizuki and Nickita along the river. |

| |
| Out running the long advanced course from P7. Another great day to be out and about. Had trouble with a couple controls, but on the whole I was very happy with my accuracy. I need to work on looking at my map & compass without walking in the bush. |

| I finally got out mountain biking! All you southern ontario riders were making me jealous. The trails were flat but technical at times and I had developed a bad case of unclipitis over the winter. After a few hours I caught up to three lovely men and out of nowhere, I had a huge burst of speed and flew past them on a technical section. My unclipitis was magically healed and I rode the last hour like La Femme Nikita heading towards the finish line. It felt great to fly through the winding trails. I cant wait for the gats to open in a few days. |

| Took two fellow math teachers out orienteering. They had a great time and will be hitting the woods again. My mom's meet went over swimmingly. |
| Orienteering 1:15:00 [4] | |
| |
| Picked up the controls from the meet. Not really sure why I didn't bring my fancy dancy new headlamp with me since I spent about 45min in the pitch black trying to deside if I was even looking at the right side of the map. I did eventually collect all the flags and ran pretty quickly on the trails to get back before my mom called the police. |
Tuesday May 8 |
| Soccer 1:00:00 [3] | |
| |
| Tough practice with the ladies. We played a full field scrimmage with only 7 a side. Lots of running and I think a little bit of a farmers tan. |

| Heading back out to school after a conference to go see the girls soccer team kick some butt. Our first win! The afternoon wind was a lot stronger than my normal morning ride. |
| Biking (commute) 45:00 [4]25 km (1:48 / km) | |
| |
| Hammered the whole way home as I was racing the setting sun. It helped to have a nice tail wind too. |

| Orienteering 50:00 [2] | |
| |
| Unusual orienteering meet for me today. As I was trying to find a stupid bolder on the side of a hill I saw my mom and she asked me to look at something. As she pulls her sleeve up a huge slab of skin flops down to reveal muscle and fatty tissue galore. She took a nice fall on a beaver stump right at the beginning of the course but didnt think anything was wrong until she felt the skin flapping on her shirt. Of course she wants me to tell her that she can continue with the meet but I managed to get her back to the start and off to the hospital we went. She got 16 stitches to close up the massive whole. |

| Hockey 1:00:00 [5] | |
| |
| OB1 and my mom came to watch my game so I had to work extra hard. Had a couple one-on-ones but I still lack the moves to deek anyone out. One of my students was also on the other team too and I did manage to get the puck away from her a couple times and I almost plowed her over accidentally. Ooops. |
