XC Skiing 1:06:34 [3] 12.17 km (11.0 kph) +227m

Highlands.
Started with my old beater skate skis, with Goose and Tarno, but felt awkward on the dicey snow and dicey knee and fell behind,
Switched to classic and did a second loop- good thing Goose got me replacement skins as I tore one up badly on gravel.

C • It was good to see you on t... 3

11 AM

Hiking 4:21:16 [1] 13.62 km (19:11 / km) +162m 18:06 / km

More trail work, this time on the soggy Southern Crossing and Quiet Pastures. Cut and moved quite a few logs, but 2 were beyond my 12” sawzall.
We got followed by Gus the Rottie/lab cross on the last few km, but were able to call his owner for a pickup.

Note- left knee too sore to run today.

Kolapore with Tarno and AD while Bash and J went hiking with Koko and BZdog.
Note- my left medial knee was sore by the end.

Sunday Dec 26, 2021 #

Running 2:15:00
shoes: La Sportiva Uragano

Pretty River- started with Logie and AD ahead of Bash and Dee. Logie had to head home, and I took the black bitch trail down to The Cedars to meet the ladies. Their route was much more efficient so they had to wait a bit for us, then we all ran back together.

Strength 20:00 [2]

Rings

Rings

Hiking 2:00:00 [1]
shoes: La Sportiva Uragano

Cleared the Northwest Passage (North part) with the hounds and back down via the road to Marc’s then Metcalfe. Didn’t need a saw but it sure was muddy.

Friday Dec 24, 2021 #

XC Skiing 15:00 [2]

Short soggy ski with the big guy.

Hiking 1:00:00 [1]

Hike with the hounds to the baby gulch bridge.

Wednesday Dec 22, 2021 #

Strength (Lumberjack) 1:00:00 [2]

I recruited Colonel B to help me move the monster log across the ski trail. He's a log-whisperer, and we got it done with lots of leverage and winching with a come-along, but no chainsaw.

Also split and stacked some big logs.

XC Skiing 1:02:00 [3]

Commute on barely-adequate snow.

Looks like I tore a bit of the skin off the skin skis last night when I hit some gravel in the dark. Will need a visit to Dr Goose.

Tuesday Dec 21, 2021 #

XC Skiing 1:02:00 [3]

Ski commute! Slow bushwhack around a huge fallen tree.

Monday Dec 20, 2021 #

Hiking 2:05:00 [1]

Trail-clearing hike of our section of the Bruce. We were able to move everything but one high hung-up log. Cut a 10” maple with the sawzall- slow, but it worked.

Strength 30:00 [2]

Rings in the basement

C • Rows and pushups on the rin... 2

Hike out with Timato and AD to cut a fallen tree and haul back more of the old safety cache.

Hauling, splitting and stacking some of the remaining monster logs.

Hiking 2:12:00 [1]

Bash and I were asked to hike the Kolapore Church/ Paradaise Highway loop to check for tree carnage. Moved anything that didn’t need sawing.

We were racing the sunset and just made it in before full dark.

Thursday Dec 16, 2021 #

Note
(rest day)

Howling winds and power outage means rest day.

Wednesday Dec 15, 2021 #

shoes: La Sportiva Blizzard

Run with the big guy. Hard first half, sauntering second half. Met Crash and pooches too.

Strength (Lumberjack ) 30:00 [2]

Cleared the Covid Crusher. Lots more firewood for 2024 if I can get someone to chainsaw it.

C • How thick is it? 2

Soggy commute

Tuesday Dec 14, 2021 #

Running 25:00 [3]
shoes: La Sportiva Blizzard

Commute with a break to lumberjack.

Strength 25:00 [3]

Hand sawing and hauling some fallen trees. One big widdowmaker conveniently fell to the ground so now I could deal with it.

Running 30:00 [3]

Run home via rollercoaster. Moved several smaller logs, but 2 big ones will need the TRCA. Also started sawing a tree on the Covid Crusher but it turned out to be ironwood, so I’ll need a bigger saw.

Monday Dec 13, 2021 #

Cycling 35:00 [3]

Commute to work- includes some very steep hike-a-bike around a mess of fallen trees. Also had to lift over a huge 60cm maple down on the trail in the conservation area.

C • crazy winds! 3

Cycling 30:00 [3]

Rerouted to avoid the worst of the mess.

Sunday Dec 12, 2021 #

Hiking 1:20:00 [1]

Hike with the hounds from ABC2, checking out the carnage from the windstorm.

Lots of hauling heavy trees off the trail. Used a power saw (princess).

C • Princess 3

Saturday Dec 11, 2021 #

Strength 30:00 [1]

Howling winds and rain out there, so no playing in the forest.
I set up some rings in the basement at Kolapore and did a TRX-like workout- pull-ups, rows, dips etc.

Other than that we could only hike the dogs on the open parts of the property and the neighbour’s farm fields, which are messy right now.

Thursday Dec 9, 2021 #

Cycling 54:00 [3]

Another good winter commute. Got the perfect gear for these conditions.

Wednesday Dec 8, 2021 #

Running 30:00 [3]
shoes: La Sportiva Blizzard

Run with both the boys. The big guy is almost back to his usual self, and this was a decent pace but I kept it a bit shorter just in case.
My knee feels the weekend a bit.

Strength 1:00:00 [3]

Workout #2, and Lumberjack.
Back to wailing on big logs with maul and sledgehammer- Solid workout.

Cycling 55:00 [3]

Another good winter commute.

10 AM

Cycling 25:40 [3] 4.16 km (9.7 kph) +76m

Tuesday Dec 7, 2021 #

Cycling 55:00 [3]

Commute on a few cm of crusty snow- the studded 3" tires worked perfectly, along with bar-mitts and ski helmet.

Monday Dec 6, 2021 #

Note
(rest day)

Gave my knee the day off- howling winds and melting slush anyway.

Sunday Dec 5, 2021 #

9 AM

Orienteering 1:29:06 [3] 9.94 km (8:58 / km) +234m 8:01 / km
shoes: La Sportiva Blizzard

Icebreaker Mohawk
Legs were a little tired, but my nav was good, given how rusty I am. Might have been able to pick a higher value route or found faster route choices but executed Plan A with 58 seconds to spare. I’d hoped to pick up another high pointer but the clock ran out.

Note - knee not great, but better than its been recently.

Saturday Dec 4, 2021 #

12 PM

Running 2:32:41 [3] 21.0 km (7:16 / km) +234m 6:53 / km
shoes: Topo Ultraventure Pro

Log Run
I met the 45km runners and went with Chris, Harps, Storm, Chad and the rest of the “fast” group who were softened up nicely by the time I joined them.
At the 10k mark we didn’t see Bash, but Storm got some added dogpower.
We finished at the Cheltenham store for coffee and goodies, then shuttled 6 of us and 2 big wet dogs back to the 10k, then to Badlands Brewery for beer, soup and treats.

Happy birthday to Chris!

Note- woke up with a very sore neck.
I felt strong on the run- will see how my knee holds up. Longest run since it was bad at Storm. Taped ankle was fine.

Friday Dec 3, 2021 #

Running 25:00 [2]
shoes: La Sportiva Blizzard

Another easy trot with the big guy- faster than last time but still slow for him.

Strength 1:10:00 [2]

Workout 1 plus some lumberjack (or is that lumbar-jack as autocorrect suggests?)
Hauled a couple of loads of 75kg logs to the woodshed, and split some dry logs from the HH, which is nearly done.

Wednesday Dec 1, 2021 #

Running 25:00 [1]
shoes: La Sportiva Blizzard

Easy trot with the big guy - first "run" since he hurt his back. Some brisk trotting, some slower ambling, lots of stopping and sniffing.

Didn't even need to touch his long line.

Strength 1:00:00 [3]

Workout 3 plus rehab and some fairly easy log splitting and hauling.
Almost done burning the Holtz Hausen pile, then I can start splitting more big logs and rebuilding it- we're out of space.

Running 55:00 [3]
shoes: La Sportiva Blizzard

Commute. Soggy on the return in spots.
