Thursday Jan 31

Stretching/exercises 10:00 [1]
strength exercises - trying to fix muscle imbalances and stave off further inujury (last night my glute caused me much pain just lying in bed). I seem to be somewhat sick (sore throat, sweaty for no reason (bit of a fever?), and generally aching all over and tired), so perhaps a few days off may be my destiny... despite all my plans.
Note
(sick)
headachy, sore throat, generally body aches, feel warm...

2 man relay. Norway and Canada against the Swedes. Couldn't outrun the swede in the last few metres...
High intensity orienteering with long rests - waiting for thomas to run almost the same loop as me (but forked compared to henrik). In the end, each team ran all the same controls.

Sunday Jan 27

Running warm up/down 30:00 [2]
Running race 33:49 [4] 8 km (4:14 / km) vdot: 48.0
Steveston ice breaker - ok race (worried about tummy at first), haven't raced in awhile, so in the end I felt like I should have been able to go faster (but who knows?). However... I guess it was an ok warm up to the Half Marathon, so hopefully my body will remember how to race. I just feel like I am never getting faster...

tired, and left glute still problematic, this will be a rest day...

Wednesday Jan 23

Cross country ski 1:00:00 [3]
Cross country ski, the faster part... spent a lot of this time trying to keep up to Meghan M.
Cross country ski 45:00 [2]
The slower part, minus a bit where we were just fiddling around on the training "flats". Meghan gave Marg and I a few pointers, so I worked on my 1 skate and 2 skate. Cypress is so steep that my offset is ok, but I am not good enough at the others yet to use them as often as I should :).

Focused on arms, since we have planned a longer run in the afternoon where we will work the legs :)
Orienteering 1:08:00 [3]
Alternating controls with Petra at Rice Lake. I mapped this a year and half ago, so I knew the map rather well, luckily things had faded somewhat in my mind. Unfortunately there had been an unfortunate amount of blowdown. Nice to run for so long pretty much all in the terrain (a very little bit of trail running)!

Sunday Jan 20

Running 15:00 [3]
warm up
Orienteering 35:30 [4]
orienteering course at stanley park. Bit sloppy, a few mistakes, could have run faster in a few places.

Note
Maybe ran harder than I thought, cause later my left gluteus medius was very sore and I felt like it was impinging on a nerve.

Running 6:00 [3]
run to start, and back to the house I am housitting
Orienteering 47:00 [3]
Running around camosun bog with petra. Quite a bit of terrain running. My light was extremely low on batteries, and essentially dead by the end... so relied on Petra. Caught up to the boys just before the end, and they only just beat us, after we helped them get out of a vague area where lots of trees had fallen down :)

1:12 Flatter bit back and up a small hill
Great to have Meghan M there cause we pretty much ran side by side in these intervals, really pushed each other and kept them consistent. Tummy not the best, especially by the crest of the hill. Got dad out too, and he wasn't too far behind.

Monday Jan 7

Stretching/exercises 16:00 [1]

Sunday Jan 6

Cross country ski 1:56:00 [2]
Skate ski at Cypress by myself. It was snowing when I went up there, but after putting on my rain jacket for the slush it ended up not snowing and the sun even tried to shine through while I was skiing (light was very pretty - and I regretted not finding the camera as Thomas had told me I should). Some pretty heavy snow on the trails, so not very easy to get glide (tips hard to lift when covered in heavy powder). Went up the the top of the ski area at the beginning (rather slow climbing). Felt sluggish for the first half of the ski, but by the end felt better.
Stretching/exercises 10:00 [1]
abs and other stuff

Saturday Jan 5

Running warm up/down 24:00 [3]
warm up and strides
Intervals 33:00 [4]
Joined the cross-country/track team for their Sat workout:
3:45 - 1 beaver (~1km)
2:04
12:20 - Long loop with hill
1:21
8:20 - 2 beavers (~2km)
1:27
3:55 - 1 beaver (~1km)

This felt like one of those workouts where you wonder if you would have been better staying in bed. I have been a bit sluggish recently, and my knees have ached quite a bit, purchased some new shoes though, so hope that rectifies at least part of that.
Running 42:00 [3]
rather fast paced warm down
