Running 35:00 [3]
shoes: Saucony Razor
Wow. Ran the Charlevoix trail and the west swamp loop with the boys.
First time the big boy was hands-free for the entire run. He did trail his longline, and had his collar on for backup, but he was 99% with just voice. I never touched the line.
Why is this night different from all other nights? ;)

Easy trot to work with BZdog. He's fine today, and was 100% slack leash.

Brody’s 25m long line arrived (slackline safety from MEC), and he ran home with it trailing behind and me not touching it through all of Palgrave East and West to home. First time ever. If he bolts I can stomp the leash, but no need.
Lumberjack 20:00 [3]
Hauled a very heavy wagon of wood up from our neighbours’ trails. They had some work done and the 1.5M logs are in the woods- mine if I can get them out.

Cycling 45:00 [3]
Palgrave W with the boys. Gorgeous sunny -9 and not much ice except where I commute on the ORT.
We heard some deep barking and ran into a guy with 4 Ridgebacks, wearing coats. There was some yapping from Logan and one of the Ridgies, until Brody laid down the law then all was instantly good. Logan was chest bumping the 55kg male.
Dogs had a great run, but BZdog was sore when we got home later from the Banff film fest.

Met Goose and Coach LD on another bluebird day. Amazingly good skate conditions this late in the season- my knee told me to stop long before I wanted to. So fast and flowy!

Classic loop with Goose on the noisy waxless boards. Met the ladies here and there too.
Also saw the Gallys just as we were leaving.

Melted and refrozen glare ice again. Run in with the big boy- this time on a long-line that was basically slack or held in 2 fingers, except at roads. He's getting there.
When we got home 2 squirrels dashed out in front of us and he sat when I asked him, instead of bolting. Wow!

Hockley chasing Timato and the intrepid Adventuredog.
First long run in months and I felt it. AD and I split off a bit and took the easier south blue trail and then backtracked a bit to meet Tim. He headed off for more hills once we were done.
Wonderful bluebird spring day. I had spikes and poles but Timato did fine without.

Woo hoo, Highlands has decent conditions! Gorgeous bluebird day, nice spring skiing.
After a bit of early fiddling my wax was good for the full lap they have open. Lots of good fast sections with nice kick in shade, a few other places I had to waddle up the hills or just double pole. Things were softening up by the end and I headed back. Should have put on my waxless skis for another loop.

Out with and without the dogs in beautiful snowy sunny conditions. Riding was great before things thawed.

Clearing some maple and oak trees that fell across the trail, old-school.

Cycling 1:15:00 [3]
Rode to work with AD. Enough snow over the ice for traction and fairly decent riding. We went back in a heavy flurry of wet snow, via singletrack, pretty good but still too icy near the rockpiles. Met a happy rider with spiked 4.8” tires.
Short K-bash detour too where the riding is fine.
Neck is still nasty- I couldn’t last 2 seconds on an upright bike right now.

Paddlng 15:00 [2]
Threw my neck out at work so only a light paddle.
XC Skiing 1:00:00 [3]
Borderline conditions with rock skis, but a lot nicer than running on ice. Looks like winter too!
XC Skiing 35:00 [3]
Night ski home. Had to hike-a-ski the open sections as it had melted a bit too much, but the bits with ice base were fine. Won’t ski tomorrow though.

Run with Gally, Logie and Bazingadog. We went up Switchbacks and did a loop of Lorree. I had it easier with the big boy on harness, at least on the uphills. He was challenging on the downhills if Gally got out front.
Logie tried him out on the top of Loree for a bit. Nice run in the THABC ‘hood.

Solid run through the Charlevoix trails and the Rollercoaster with some singletrack in Palgrave East. The singletrack is basically a ribbon of ice for the most part.
Some intervals, some plyo.

Bike with AD. The ground was frozen and the low pressure plus tires were fine on hard snow and rough ice. I had to walk a few shiny bits and detour the luge run. We took the Roller Coaster back, and it’s ice-free.
Studded plus tires would be perfect, but they don’t exist in the front size I need yet. (26x2.8).

I let the dogs navigate for the most part for Brody’s birthday run. The muck was frozen over this morning.
They took me bushwhacking some parts of Palgrave I’ve never seen before. We almost made the full old red trail connection by the river but got swamped out and had to backtrack.
Tired dogs and lots of burs to get out of clothes!

Short workout at the THABC gym. They have a good rowing erg, and a used the cable machine and dumbells a bit- shoulder is still sore. Did some rehab too.

Trot with the beasts up the switchback trail, around the top and then back down some of the snowshoe trails. Some packed broken down ice, some old snow, some dry ground, some muck.
Interesting exploring. The dogs loved the outing, even if some of the descents were challenging with Bazingadog on harness.

I let the birthday beast choose the route home and sniff whatever he wanted. Bazingadog is 7!
