Training Log Archive: Bash

Grateful to Jamil Coury and Billy Yang, whose films have helped me get through a bunch of treadmill sessions. This time I added a short Brad Jennings film for variety and CanCon. I just ran a steady pace other than warm up and cool down; I didn't want to do intensity because that's what boot camp is all about. Suuuuuuper windy outside today (90+ kph gusts) so there's no way I was going in the woods!

TRX Boot Camp with Kristy. Only two of us braved tonight's winter weather to drive to the studio.

After a busy Easter/Passover weekend with family and too much good food, I needed a long run in this spectacular, sunny, chilly weather. The local trails are mucky in enough places that I didn't want to damage them. Instead I did a big loop of country roads (mostly gravel and dirt), rail trail, forest trails and even a little bushwhacking in KBash woods when I lost the unofficial trail under fallen trees. It's not a good route during commuting hours but lunchtime on Easter Monday was fairly quiet and I only saw 15 cars. One of them was fishtailing and going about 120 kph in a 60 kph zone on a road with blind hills and curves. Ugh - he's one of the reasons I rarely bike on roads. Otherwise, it was an amazing run - almost feels like it might be spring one day!

Route: Finnerty Sideroad to Centreville Creek Rd. to Caledon Trailway (rail trail) to Duffy's Lane to Palgrave West trails.

Preparing for in-laws to come over for the first Passover Seder we've ever hosted at our place. Eeek, so complicated!! Intensity level = maximum. #Bentmarriedagoy
