Cycle 30:00 [2]
Partial night ride with more than 100 other ecopark riders. Another cool event brought to you by Domestique. Balogna and I cut out early to get back to the cafe for a beer and a real life hot dog with Turbo and Little Annie.
Annual speed test is on Saturday at the road to hope event. So no smt for me this week.

Family run around the Balogna loop. Lovely morning.

run intervals 55:00 [5]
five 1 km repeats with a good group. Kept the speed reasonable what with the need to taper for the big annual speed test and all.

Gym 1:02:00 [5]
Plyometrics day. Crazy plyo ladder and other strange and taxing exercises requiring actual coordination and some sense of proprioception. Hard, fast, tough.
Sunday Oct 27, 2013 #
run 1:30:00 [3]
Sunday morning cruise with Trix. Some bursty bits, but for the most part just enjoyed the colours

run 1:40:00 [3]
Wet run with Hammer and Tarno. A few more of these runs and I'm applying to med school. Felt cruddy the whole run, dying on all the hills. Tarno finally worked it out. I gave blood yesterday. He confirmed that studies show a blood donation knocks peak performance back 17% immediately following the donation and that it takes up to a week to get back to full strength. Who knew?

Tired today. Conor sensed my weakness and went after it. No mercy. Gotta love the gym.

Not sure why, but this struck me as an important development in the great arc of civilization:

The NYT and Boundless. Our boys have hit the big time:
http://www.nytimes.com/2013/10/22/arts/television/...
Major article in the New York Times about the Esq TV channel that references Boundless a few times. Odd angle though--apparently the new channel is all about glorifying alcohol. Congrats Turbo and Zoo!

four long eight minuters out at the soccer field. A Turbo special. Good one.

Conor is throwing some harder stuff at me. Sprayed sweat all over the gym. Fun.
Sunday Oct 20, 2013 #
Note
It's 4 degrees C outside. Balogna asked if I was going to wear a snowmobile suit for my run. How'd she know what I was thinking?
run 1:05:00 [3]
Purdy run with her majesty. She's a squirrel huntin' blur out there. Kinda cool when your dog is the same colour as the whole world.

run 1:42:00 [3]
SMT with Turbo, Hammer and birthday Super. Supe was eager to point out portents of doom early on his 38th birthday, but the forest gods were kind, the woods were beautiful and the coffee was good. And so we sent him back to his family refreshed in spirit. You're welcome, Super's family.

Conor is back in form. Me: getting there.

5 times up and down Artaban. Well, down and up, really.
Tuesday Oct 15, 2013 #
run intervals 1:00:00 [5]
Toughest workout in Hamilton. Cronatos. Wait. No Turbo was there. So Crow-natos. 45 seconds on 15 seconds off times 30 with two minute breaks every 10. D-Bag set a good pace and Turbo, though looking tired, still had his dignity about him and ran a few credible sets.
Note
Oh, and I'm registered for the Hamilton 10k. DBag said he was in. Any others? PH? Supe? Come on! Relive those glory days.

MMT with Turbo. A perfect morning in the valley. Insanely great.
5 PM
Gym 50:00 [4]
Connor-less workout. So not as intense, but I got through the whole cycle.
Cycle 20:00 [3]
Ride Steel Butterfly to and from Momentum with a stopover at Domestique for an Orangina and quick visit with Krys and NevMonster (who just happened to be at the cafe).
Sunday Oct 13, 2013 #
run 39:00 [3]
Easy trot with Balogna and Trix as I engage in a rolling brawl with wave after wave of rhinoviruses
Note
8am run from the hottage tomorrow.
Saturday Oct 12, 2013 #
run 1:03:00 [3]
Quicky loopy around the valley with T Rix hunter seeker killer. She's never caught anything, but one day....
Friday Oct 11, 2013 #
Gym 1:00:00 [5]
another good one with the Conman. SMT tomorrow will go earlier: 7:45 so that we volunteers for Nationals can get to our posts on time and STILL get a coffee from Domestique.

run intervals 55:00 [5]
5 MFO's. Monarch Flat Outs. It's about a km from the turn around stump to the orchard. Largely level. A good place for Trix and me to let 'er rip. Then joggy, joggy up Lion's Club as it got light out.

Won't be able to go to tnt tonight and so did Artaban instead with Trix. A stunningly beautiful morning.
Note
That's it I'm done. No more supplements. I'll still drink a green drink in the morning, but the pill taking is over:

Back at it with the Conman after a week without supervision. Lots of new fast difficult stuff. Got good and worked.

run 1:05:00 [3]
Chicago lakeshore run through millennium park, around and around the Bean for a while just cuz it's so damn COOL, out past the Field museum, the aquarium, and Soldier field. Gotta say, Chicago kicks the crap outa Tronno when it comes to respecting the lake and giving people a reason to gather at the shore.
Saturday Oct 5, 2013 #
run 50:00 [3]
Hotel hills. 10x3 minutes with 1, then 1.5, then 2 minutes in between as I ran out of jam.
Thursday Oct 3, 2013 #
run hills 48:00 [5]
5 times artaban. Lots of good early morning smells to keep Trix busy while I attended to my Sisyphean business.
Note
Change of venue. SMT is in Chicago this week. If you can't make it, feel free to use the hottage as base camp anyway

Cycle 42:00 [3]
into and out of work on Steel Butterfly (or "Mary" as it will be known by some). The new, true Gentlemen's Bike entrusted to my by Krys Hines. Saweet.

AlleyLoops with Duane as my partner. A few speed loops with Dr. PBVs faster stunt double. DBag was doing fine until he dissolved into his component gastric juices. He then mumbled The Humanity! The Humanity! and disappeared.
