Training Log Archive: Mrs. Tiny

Funderstorm and Reeder were planning a paddle down the Nith River, and invited me to tag along. I was feeling a little concerned when they were describing what the lower section had looked like last week, but thought I'd give it a whirl anyway. :) They provided the boat, and rider and the company. Funderstorm and I started in Canning and met up with Reeder clower to Paris. Funderstorm was in her whitewater boat, so she definitely had a harder time through the flats. Great morning of paddling.

This wasn't as long as I'd hoped it would be... although as it's sort of my own fault, I can't complain. :) Needed to run an errand near Waterloo Park, so thought we'd make a little trip out of my run. Put Aubrey in the stroller and headed out. It didn't take as long as I thought it would to get there, but didn't modify my route since Aubrey was getting antsy. Ran the errand, headed to the park and let Aubrey run around the splash pad - literally around... not through... not a big fan of the water other than to watch it - and then play on the swings and snack. Realized it was getting late so headed straight home to get back in time for lunch and nap, so no extra distance on the way back. Ah well. It was smokin' hot, so I wasn't exactly loving the road run anyway. I'm sure that's why I didn't "notice" it was getting late... subliminal aversion to having to run today.

New instructor for Cycle II - liked her. I felt a little nauseous at one point from exertion. So I'd say she did a good job making me feel motivated. :)

Nice day for a ride. Out through Hawkesville and St. Clements.
