Training Log Archive: Yukon King

train today to downtown for transfusion, chinese delivery for dinner, yum, I sure hope energy doesn't crash out like yesterday. Watching Merchant of Venice (Al Pacino etc) to keep from gerbilling about, wow that's a movie & a half !!!

felt a bit better going out - pouring pretty good but couldnt be bothered to go back up to get a hat, G doesnt have a hat either... tea afterwards & picked off all the oregano leaves harvested earlier from patio planters to dry. Then off downtown.

I am loving this weight plateau! (maintained only with lotsa cheese and a DQ visit, but if that is what it takes...) A bit achey, yesterday's walk may have been a bit much. More rest today I guess, maybe ice shoulders.
Classic baked beans, cornbread, & watermelon. I keep stashing my navy beans in "safe" places, "running out", buying more, finding the old stashes, & getting twitchier & twitchier about being a big ol' Bean Hoarder...
Reading Judge Dee to get thru last few days until the last HP is released.

walk over to corner grocery & then G-walk down to parkway & up the top of Stairmaster, then we investigated the gravel where they have ripped up for a nice new sidewalk by Belvedere, waded in some mud, & called it a day. For some reason I got Really Wiped Out by late afternoon. No idea why.

salmon tonight, rest day.

cooler today (but REALLY humid, it turns out) - G & I went out into light rain & went for a good walk over to daycares, down around Taylor Park & out by Ledgestone, over to the base of Stairmaster & back home up the Stairmaster. (Must remember to go down as well, as that is actually harder) Massive fog now. Doing intense teriyaki on the salmon, brown rice, stirfry of random contents of lower fridge regions.

ran around alot in AM w/ dad-in-law - groceries, more charcoal, library, dropping stuff off, pick up dog, lunch at Barney's walked G in their neighborhood, had risotto & cheesecake for lunch yum. Kinda drug out most of the afternoon, pasta for dinner w/ blueberries & mango. Walk in the evening after dinner, met Buttons who used to HATE Gypsy but now they played quite nicely. Itchy-dog diet is going down very nicely! Rain stopped by evening, cool & pleasant. Got a drawing from Wycliff in Kenya, to go w/ Samina's flower picture on the fridge.

salmon loaf for dinner along w/ brocolli W/ oyster sauce, rice, some blueberries & icecream. Afternoon walk we met Bao again over by the Rocks & G got disgustingly slobbered-on, but enjoyed herself w/ a bit of off-leash galloping. still kinda warm for them.
Got Alfie to give me a ride over to Tisol to pick up some "duck & potato" kibble and matching biscuits for poor lil G, since she is so itchy esp. her feet, she probably has food allergy, seems so "precious" I am embarassed, but apparently it is sadly common. Not expensive at all, and very similar in appearance to her present kibbles. Seems to like it so far.

Sunday was good day, leisurely start w/ naughty visit to a really good breakfast buffet at the Sea-to-Sky, then drove up into the area behind the Chief to ...a hydro recreation site, very quiet as compared to yesterday altho sub-moron presence could be observed by all the TP in the woods - ie no pit toilets, plus beer cans and various burned detritus. But still relatively unspoiled, beautiful river. G had her breakfast there after our walk. Then a bit more exploring and a late picnic at the deserted Squamish airport (watched a helicopter land and get tied down right next to us) under the big mountains on either side of the valley. drove home, went out for thai food. Evening walk G met a daschund (she has a THING for male daschunds) named Hoagie (go figure) & had a crazy good time running aorund & playing off-leash w/ him for 10 minutes or so. Then they were both exhausted.
