Training Log Archive: 'Bent

CO took us up Windy Ridge, on a perfect bluebird morning. Very alpine feel once we got out of the forest, probably great practice for UTMR. Spectacular ridge with jaw-dropping views. We stopped at the high point of the ridge then headed on, but black sky and hail turned us back. The return trip had some quick running bits, until CO discovered his phone was gone.

We spent quite a while scrambling around looking for it and trying to find Cell signal to use Find My Phone and ping with help from Carbon back at HQ to turn it on. Did a lot of extra climbing in the search, until Carbon figured out that it was moving. Luckily some hikers had heard it ping and we got it back at the parking lot.

Great hike up Wind Tower peak with Bash and Carbon's Offset, and a fun quick descent down. The peak lived up to its name- it was howling up there. A lot more fun than hill repeats in Ontario. Beautiful views- pics on Bash's log.

Bah- weather radar showed nasty storms approaching, but they missed us and I could have run.

Workout 1, then a lot of manual weed whacking on my commute later, supervised by Adventuredog.
Chest-high thistles and nettles, waist high grass.

Running in between trail work with AD. Hot, humid and the FDFs are starting up. Finished up drenched and parched.

Commute with AD. Legs were a bit sluggish, and my left achilles is a little sore after a solid block of running.

Got some good pics from the 24hr race.

Commute with the big guy. Soaking wet grass there, humid and hot return via rollercoaster. BZdog walked the hills on the trip back, sporting his cooling jacket.
