Strength 1:00:00 [3]
Foot/kneehab, 22 pushups + several hours wrestling the last dozen Buckthorn trees out, including the motherlode tree with its 15M of roots. Filthy, tired and drenched but got it done!

Great run with Storm, BGY, Escondido and the two dogs. We went north of Haffy, out-and-back including the side trail to Glen Haffy Rd. Lots of elevation but I felt like I had a lot of gas in the tank today. Didn't want to stop.
Leg's still sore, but has some oomph back. Lucky Storm was still recovering from Bad Thing, and it took BGY a while to warm up before he put the hammer down.
Dogs had a great time with lots of creeks and squirrels. T-shirt and shorts weather, after Thursday's snow.
Note- Garmin didn't map it this time.

Strength (Lumberjack) 15:00 [2]
BGY and his chainsaw came over to help me clear out the huge tree across the conservation trail on my commute. As a bonus I got some nice firewood, which we hauled back. Apparently his saw runs on beer! Also a great Chinese dinner with the BGY clan after.

Snow! Beautiful run with AD in wintery conditions. Going to need a headlamp in the mornings soon. Did some extra hills on the return trip- leg still sore but some oomph is returning.

Rest of workout 1 plus lumberjack.
Cycling 50:00 [3]
Another stunning ride in- had to break out the winter biking boots, but the colours were great in brilliant sun. AD loves 2C weather.
Cycling 28:00 [2]
Nice night ride home. Tried AD on a slightly longer leash as he drags behind at night, as opposed to BZdog who always ran in front. AD is better off leash, but the big boy was better on his harness with the bike.

shoes: Hoka Challenger ATR
Managed to track down Alexander G, who is running the Bruce Trail from south to north. I was only the second person to pace him since he started.
We went from the Grange up to forks of the credit, and I helped him detour around the closed part of the trail. He seems very mentally together and doing well physically, although his support vehicle had nav issues and couldn't find us for his resupply.
I gave him some water and handed him off to Adam S, and then they met up with Steve Hunter.
Good run back up the escarpment, and an extra Grange hill at the end.

Tried out some new suspension mods on a destination ride up the rail trail to Tottenham. Classique Cafe was as good as I'd heard.
Blustery drizzly day but colours still great.

Solid run in with AD. Jaw-droppingly beautiful day. Fall colours, shorts and t-shirt weather.
Big tree down where we cross into the conservation area from the North- glad I got a ride yesterday.

Cycling race (MTBO) 1:16:28 [3] 15.49 km (12.2 kph) +193m
Star Tracks MTBO.
Last time I made some dumb mistakes due to over-familiarity.
Torrential rain at the start (after all the nice weather) didn't deter a big turnout.
My legs were tired from yesterday, trails were wet, roots were slick and my rear brake pads wore out completely by the second control, all of which made sure I took care with the nav rather than hammering.
Other than a small mixup at CP3, where I somehow still managed to drop a huge crowd other than Stina, things went well. Crash, Stina and I leapfrogged a bit. I took shorter but more complicated routes, but probably lost more time stopping to double-check the map than I would if I took the longer double track.
Ended up second overall and first Masters behind the shockingly fast Wokitoki (Probably doping *and* using a motor- or he's just really good).
Stina and Crash were 3rd and 4th overall and won their categories too.
Consensus was that it was a great event- well planned, well run, good prizes. Thanks Bash, Mick et al.

Running 2:41:23 [3] 22.95 km (7:02 / km) +901m 5:53 / km
Full time with stops closer to 2:55.
Great Hockley run with Storm, Gally, Scout and Logan the Adventuredog.
Parking was the worst I've ever seen, and it was busy for the first few K. Not surprised, spectacular fall day. The dogs were unbelievably good, with Logan leading the way just ahead, and Scout shadowing storm like she was on a short invisible leash. Crowds disappeared once we left Hockley park.
After about two hours my legs were cooked. Pretty much had to walk all the hills on the rest, and felt pretty done by the end. Hamstring was sore the whole way. Not surprising given that this was the longest run in a long time. I was glad of the stops when "the dogs needed to cool off in the river".
Storm and the dogs skipped on ahead until AD finally got a little tired in the last few km.
This was still a fantastic run. So glad we all got out.

Fantastic day for an easy scoot around Albion.
Lots of stops to take pics or just gawk at the colours on a perfect day.

Yoga. Need to work on transition from downward dog to warrior 1 on left- that seems to hit the hamstring/glute injury well.

Rrhab, full Link workout, then some lumberjack work nad a few more hours hauling out buckthorns with 5m long roots that have to come out nearly intact. A bit like wrestling a giant squid- I was drenched and filthy by the end.

Easy tour of Palgrave with AD as the weather was better than forecast.
