skating (10 loops) 1:16:00 [3] 13.0 km (5:51 / km)
Wonderful evening skate with Sandi on the ice skating trail at Arrowhead Provincial Park. On Saturday nights they line the 1.3 km loop with torches.
It has been at least 3 or 4 years since I've been on skates, but after the first loop I felt confident. The only funny thing was that I've never skated uphill. My shins were killing me on the first loop. They flood a trail in the park, so it's not level like a lake or an arena rink. Skating uphill is a whole new experience!
What a great way to spend a Canadian winter's night. Although, again, chilly -20 with the wind chill sitting at -31

Note
This is the second Thursday in a row that I wake up a bit sore and pretty tired. So a slow start. It's my strength training day and I may finally get out on the skis again. We'll see...
Note
It's good to be back on AP because, as I review the last week or so, I can see that I really do have a fair bit of activity logged.
No wonder I'm tired!

xc skiing (approx) 1:00:00 [3]
Great sunny day for a ski although very, very cold! There was no glide but that made us work harder so we warmed up nicely ;)
Note
Can't wait for my Atlas Race snowshoes to come in! I have a hill I plan to train on.
Thanks to a little motivating hill on the Snowshoe Raid ;)

Well Barb Campbell, you have once again motivated me to think about adventure racing , and now, logging on AP.
cycle (spin class) 40:00 [4]
Ted had some good drills!
cardio kick 45:00 [3]
Had to support the new instructor with lower intensity options for the class so my workout was a little less intense, But another great, energetic class!

yoga 40:00 [1]
With the temps at -34 (without the wind chill) I decided to skip a ski or snowshoe and attend another yoga class. Only a 40 minute class but pretty intense.

yoga 1:00:00 [1]
Glad to attend someone else's class so I could focus more on my own posture and breathing. My body needed to work on flexibility after the weekend.

snow shoe (approx.) 2:30:00 [3] 8.0 km (18:45 / km)
Blizzard conditions! Big loop at Hardy Lake. Craziest weather I've ever snow shoed in. Glad the crockpot was ready with chili when we came home.
