Stationary Bike 30:00 [2]
Wanted to skate but canal was only partially open and not in good shape.
Monday Jan 30, 2012 #
XC Skiing 1:30:00 [3]
Beautiful ski from P10. Came across an injured skier on the way back. Got really cold waiting for the ski patrol sled. So had to fill up on goodies from the Chelsea bakery to protect my core temperature. Won't weigh myself today.

walk/run 40:00 [3] 5.0 km (8:00 / km)
Beautiful day - saving myself for a long ski to-morrow.
Saturday Jan 28, 2012 #
Walking 50:00 [1]
Sidewalks slushy so stayed on road when I could. Ski tracks at MB were washed out but some people were skiing. Need some fresh snow - fast!
More rain expected this week - the skate-O may bever happen!

Stretch & Strength 20:00 [0]
A lazy day - feeling tired after yesterday's long skate. Pouring rain then snow, then freezing rain. Canal closed, ski trails unskiable, roads treacherous. To make things worse, we confirmed that our old mechanical IKEA scale is 5 pounds light. Or, in other words, I am an extra 5 pounds fat! Man, I will be skin and bones if I make it down to <70 Kg.

Skating - canal 2:00:00 [1]
Great skate with "field checking" the skate-O map. Almost finished. Need to find a half dozen more interesting or fun control sites.
Glutes and aductors really stiff by the end - almost cramping - but I think I stretched well. Will know in the morning!

Stationary Bike 45:00 [2]
Wanted to do a walk/run but everything is frozen over. Skiing was icy too.
Only a short stretch. Hip is very sensitive, can't sit 30 minutes without a stretch.
Should probably get back to Ath. Therapist.

Walking 50:00 [1]
+2C and sloppy footing on the sidewalks so I stayed on the road where I could. Good stretch afterwards.
Monday Jan 23, 2012 #
Stretch & Strength 30:00 [1]
Hips are sore today after yesterday's skate. To add insult to injury I slipped in the parking lot and pulled the right one a bit. Pouring rain on top of existing ice this afternoon so forget skiing/skating and even walking.
Sunday Jan 22, 2012 #
Skating - canal 1:00:00 [2]
Canal was 2/3 open and in good shape. Wanted to do some "field work" on the canal map but it was too cold on the hands to do very much.
Was able to push off better than last winter so I was able to get my heart rate up.

XC Skiing 1:20:00 [3]
weight:156.5lbs
Ski-O at Keogans. 3K up and back and then the short course in 41 minutes. Very slow, but I stopped to explain ski-O to tourers, explained that ski-Oers were coming through the biathalon race to officials, fell over a couple of times, took my skis off at one sharp downhill, and had to retie my boot laces. Otherwise a very focussed race - except for the big route choice error to #7. Thanks to Bill M. for setting it all up.
Friday Jan 20, 2012 #
Walking 50:00 [1]
brisk walk under brisk (-16C) conditions. Sloppy footing too. Good stretch afterwards.
Thursday Jan 19, 2012 #
Skating - canal 23:00 [1]
Canal was in poor shape. Wanted to do a few loops of the section that was open but it was too risky. Two waterings away from being good.
So I added in a 30 minute spin just to burn off lunch.

XC Skiing 40:00 [2]
The rain from last night has really messed up the tracks at Mooney's Bay. Even with some grooming it was like skiing on granulated ice chunks. After 2 loops my wax was finished. Too bad as it was sunny and not too cold.
Reasonably good stretch and some weights afterward.

Stationary Bike 30:00 [2]
New storm has hit so took an easy spin. Travis worked hard on my glutes this morning so I am sore. Back needed to be released too. Probably from shovelling yesterday.
Trying to limit my caloric intake. Feeling hungry all the time. After a good diet day yesterday I was starving at bedtime so I caved and had a bagel!

Walking 50:00 [1]
Very cold, brisk walk. Footing was poor. Canal is now partly open. Looking forward to seeing what I can do on skates!
Stretch & Strength 20:00 [3]
Good stretch - no strength. Back is stiff but hips are fine.
Sunday Jan 15, 2012 #
XC Skiing 1:00:00 [3]
Still really cold in Ottawa (-17) but the sun and fresh snow made up for it. Not great glide except where the sun had an impact. Again, rushed my stretch due to poor schedluing.
Saturday Jan 14, 2012 #
Stationary Bike 50:00 [3]
Thought that my hip would complain on the third day of spinning but it was only stiff. Butt sore though!
Stretch & Strength 20:00 [3]
Good stretch - minimal strength. Gotta schedule things better.
Friday Jan 13, 2012 #
Stationary Bike 45:00 [3]
Good sweat on bike. Time flashed by go-cart racing with Jennie on the Wii.
Stretch & Strength 20:00 [3]
Time restrained again - 30 minutes should be the minimum for a good S&S.
Thursday Jan 12, 2012 #
Stationary Bike 30:00 [2]
Quick spin and stretch. Should have done more but didn't watch the time.
Wednesday Jan 11, 2012 #
Walking 50:00 [1]
Really cold wind from NE - so my pace was "brisk"
Tuesday Jan 10, 2012 #
walk/run 43:00 [2] 5.0 km (8:36 / km)
Stretch & Strength 15:00 [3]
Ran about half the distance. Soliuses' very stiff.
Monday Jan 9, 2012 #
Walking 55:00 [3]
weight:159.8lbs
Revelstoke loop - exactly 5K. Easy stretch
Thought I was doing better with the weight. Drastic measures are needed!

XC Skiing 1:03:00 [3]
First ski-O in a couple of years. Beautifull day. Tracks were fast. I had a hard time keeping my breathing under control as I knew I should ski faster. Puffing along fine until #10 when I reaized I had lost my SI. Found it back at #9 but the return trip cost me about 15 minutes. Great fun in any case.
Saturday Jan 7, 2012 #
Walking 50:00 [1]
Hip sore so passed on the ski in the Gats. Save my body for the ski-O tomorrow.

Shoulda gone skiing with Glo - but was tired. Bike spin felt good but now my hip and leg are aching. More stretching & Advil before bed.
Thursday Jan 5, 2012 #
XC Skiing 1:10:00 [2]
Beautiful outing in the Gats. Tad thin in spots but sunny, -5C, and a generally good track. P3 to Hydro with a couple of extra loops in the sun at the flats.

weight:160.9lbs
First ski in Gats from P10. Took it easy. Yak at gossip corner with Jacks. Lost Jennie - she came back after dark. : )
Straight ahead classic feels good. Chicken on hills when pressure is on hip.
Up 3 Kg from November. Standard holiday result. Target is 68 (150 lbs) by my birthday in March. Hide the left-overs!
