Probably doesn't count as a workout, guilding a blind skier for an hour or so. It was a pleasant ski, but it was quite slow. Quite slow.

Went for a little jog-ula before heading over to skiing. A relatively pleasant over to the new bridge.

Hit the gym for some weights. Switched from 10RM to 6RM, so jacked up the squats weights to 265 lbs. Felt comfortable enough that I should probably add a bit too. Good to switch to a bit more power focus. The other usual stuff too, like deadlifts, lunges, rows, hip stuff, etc.

Went for a remarkably icy morning run. Its a good thing I had some Oroc 280s! And a bonus, they have been around more than a year before those silly (and kind of ugly) Salomon ones.

Also, thought a lot more about headcams. Do I want the sleek one that records into pain-in-the-ass .mov format? Or the more practical editing one that looks like a tiny toaster on your face?

WOW, what a difference a day makes. After yesterday's slog-fest out at SWC, FT intervals tonight were on super hard, icy conditions, so for some 1k intervals 2:00 to 10 seconds, it was crazy crazy fast. But, I like going fast. And sprinting. Its the one thing I marginally don't suck at!

My sister had the day off, so we headed out to Strathcona Wilderness Centre, in the afternoon. After it stopped raining. Unfortuantely this meant that by the time we got there, it was sunny, +8, and super mushy and slow. Meant for a fair amount of off-set on the flat! Still, 10 x 2 minute intervals at 10k pace, they were pretty pleasant.

FT intervals, classic. 87654321min with 2 minutes rest @ 10km pace. It felt more like 30k pace. It was super fast out and the tracks were not amazing, so it was hard to get into a nice comfortable 10k pace, it felt either sprint-y or pedestrian.

Also played an hour and a half of indoor soccer immediately before training, so that might have had a bit of an effect. My toenail felt a little sore from that, actually, so diagonal stride while skiing was not my favorite activity.

Just a light jog. Essentially a rest day jog, but with less...rest. Almost got run down by a car running the red light. But its okay, he noticed us after blasting through the intersection and THEN slowed down. That makes up for it.
