Training Log Archive: Funderstormin

Met LosDobos at the Guelph Grotto for some indoor climbing fun. I used to go to one in town about 10-12 years but haven't been since. My brain remembered what to do but my forearms tired quickly. We were there for a couple of hours but I'm only logging the time I figured I was actually doing something physical rather than the time I spent a) staring up at the walls figuring out if I could do the routes and b) exclaiming sore my forearms were after getting overexcited and doing 5 routes in the first 15 minutes I was there.

I love the problem solving element of climbing but know I have too much fear to ever get good at it. I'll definitely go back for fun though. And it doesn't hurt that the Grotto is right beside one of my favourite Ontario breweries!

C • Climbing... 2

Lunch run amid all the partying university students. Some super drunk ones yelled at me that they liked my green shirt and asked what I was running from. Funny.

Decided to take advantage of the uncharacteristically lovely March weather and go camping up at the Pinery Saturday night. Spent a lovely afternoon / evening alternating between drinking beers, laying in my hammock, and tending to my fire...pretty awesome to be able to do all of this in March!

Only a section of the park is open to vehicles, so my run had the eerie atmosphere of the first Hunger Games movie as it was grey and the forest was empty as the only way to access the road / trails was by foot or bike. Ran along the main park road and then would run the small loop trails that I came across. Some lovely trails but more road running than I expected and I was feeling this by the end.

C • Earl? 3

First outdoor ride of the season. Felt strong at the start but not so much by the end!

Mrs. Tiny and I did an out and back from her office after work, then had a beer at the Lanc. Friday run and beer has become my new favorite ritual!
