Dogless commute. Still saw the deer.

Running 52:00 [3]
shoes: Brooks Caldera blue
Easy jog in with the big boy. We met the 2 farm dogs, but the big guy sent them packing, and they didn't stick around to say Hi.
Hamstring/glute thing sore from yesterday.
Easy run home until the deer showed up in Palgrave East.

Cycling 30:00 [3]
Quick 2-dog blast to make up for leaving the boys home all day when their play dates had to cancel.
10 AM
Orienteering race 1:38:21 [3] 13.46 km (7:19 / km) +223m 6:45 / km
shoes: Salomon Sense Ultra SG
Peak 2 peak- Wild Goose Chase version.
Goose had been away from orienteering and running for a while, and we ended up running together as it turned our our speeds and nav were about the same. Very enjoyable run, we both navigated well between 2 sets of eyes and we cleaned the course with 22 min to spare taking fairly conservative routes.
Good enough for 6 overall just behind Harps. Chad and Gally were 1 and 2, and we won Masters, narrowly followed by Long Sault Rob.
Great to see the Goose taking flight again.
We carpooled with Bash who was sporting an Ontario Champion medal on the way home.

Strength 45:00 [2]
More rehab, some KB and dumbells, and more lumberjack. Good workout with some nearly unsplittable logs.
Friday Oct 27, 2017 #
Strength 1:00:00 [3]
Lumberjack plus rehab and part of workout 1.
Running 1:30:00 [3]
Parental tech support cut my window down for a long run I had planned, so just a hilly run through Haffy South and North with AD. I needed that.

Cycling 52:00 [2]
Frosty dawn ride in with the big boy, and a drizzly ride home. Easy pace until Brody got wind of the evening venison, and hammered it the last 1k, with a massive sprint up the hill to the house right on the deer’s tail before it shot up Mt Tobler.

Running 1:10:00 [4]
shoes: Salomon Sense Ultra SG
Appointments took up my workout time so just a short but solid run in with Logan the adventuredog. Chilly night run home.
Monday Oct 23, 2017 #
Cycling 55:00 [2]
Commute with the big guy. Dark dawn ride in, back in the rain.

Bit of a tour with both dogs after being away all day.

Running 1:19:19 [3] 11.99 km (6:37 / km) +256m 5:59 / km
shoes: Brooks Caldera blue
Solid run with Storm, Goose Ursula, Scout and Logan.
Ursula set a solid pace - good thing the dogs “needed a swim break” or two so we could catch our breath. Fall colours, summer weather.

Nice ride down to Albion after a day of appointments while the weather was perfect.
Forest was great, for some reason traction was amazing and the ‘bent was on rails in the singletrack- not sure if it was the lack of mud or no map holder blocking view and body movement.

Cycling 52:00 [2]
Easy ride with Bazingadog who was pretty laid back. Good thing as my left ear is driving me crazy. Wasn’t even tempted to do more on such a nice day.

Strength 45:00 [2]
Workout 3 and rehab.
Cycling 50:00 [3]
"Oh-wow" type commute with AD on a perfect calm sunny fall day in jaw-dropping colours. A few extras. Wish I had longer...
Quick night ride home.

Cycling 55:00 [3]
Nice brisk ride in with the big guy. A deer ran out of the bush, down the trail and turned to our house, so I didn’t have to pedal up the hill at all.
Monday Oct 16, 2017 #
Running 1:05:00 [3]
shoes: Brooks Caldera blue
Solid run with AD with extra hills, then back with the saw to clear 3 trees that fell across the trail in the first km.
Lumberjack 20:00 [3]
Hand sawing a few trees, 2 smaller ones and one big guy.

Cycling race (MTBO) 1:07:06 [3] 13.93 km (12.5 kph) +190m
Stars MTBO. It dumped and howled last night but was calm, warm and dry for the race.
I started pretty early, passed a couple of folks at control 1, had some full contact MTBO with Coach LD past cp5 on the Goat Path, but after that didn’t see anyone -except for about 100 cadets doing some sort of linked-arm exercise right across the race route in the field. It took quite a lot of polite yelling to get their attention.
I took my time to be sure of precision and was very pleased with clean nav and confident route choice. Ended up 3rd overall 10 minutes behind Long Sault Rob and 8 behind Chad.
Browner dominated the female category, and the Gallygang won the novice course in a hard-fought battle with the Leakers.
Bash’s brilliant idea of starting early paid off as rain came blasting down just after awards. Thanks to Bash, Mick and Laura for all the hard work.

2- dog calm-before-the-storm Palgrave run. It started as a rodeo but the big guy settled down after half an hour.
Strength 1:20:00 [2]
Workout 2, rehab and a fair bit of lumberjack work.

Ran home fast to warm up in still-damp clothes in the dark and thankfully lighter rain.

Cycling 55:00 [2]
Commute with the big guy. Still summery weather- I had to soak him down for the return trip. Wish I had a video of his excellent gallop.
Monday Oct 9, 2017 #

Cycling 2:09:32 [3] 20.92 km (9.7 kph) +340m
Nice cruise around Albion. Either some of the tight turns are more rutted out or I'm out of practice.

Running 40:00 [3]
shoes: Brooks Caldera blue
Don valley/ Earl Bales with Logan. Got a bit of fast running in- fast enough to remind me of my hamstring issue.
Cycling 30:00 [2]
2-dog ride in the hunter- free parts of Palgrave West. Thunderous start with BZdog in fine form hauling me so hard I had to run the brakes, but he settled in after a bit.
Tuesday Oct 3, 2017 #
Note
Commuting by car as I need to bring both dogs to work and away from construction in our yard. Trips to the city and appts will also mean more driving on perfect fall days. Bah.

Lumberjack 45:00 [2]
That time of year... slugging away at stubborn logs with maul and sledge hammer.
1 PM
Cycling 2:09:16 [3] 22.96 km (10.7 kph) +312m
