Training Log Archive: 'Bent

Ran the Don Valley with Bulletdog.

Workout #2

Way too windy for a ride or run in the woods, so I spent the time running 150kg wagons of logs to the back and heaving/ stacking/ splitting wood. A really nice thing to do among the snow, falling leaves and wind. Still about 1/2 tonne left.

Only logged 1/2, but it's definitely a level 2 or more.

Spent a while swinging my big splitter maul and hurling logs around. A lot more fun than being in my basement with the home gym, with the leaves falling around me.

Racing season's over now, so I'm in baseline mode. I'm just doing what I feel like, and loving it.

Jog- hike to work with the supposedly tired and old T-dog.
She took off like a thunderbolt up a hill after something, and came back panting and a bit sore after some high-speed bushwhacking. Slower commute after that.

Ohhh I'm a Lumberjack and I'm OK...
It's that time of year- I have to haul a tonne or two of firewood. Today I slung a van-load from the pile at the office and dumped it back at home. I'll chop and pile tomorrow.
Only logged 1/2, pun intended.

Jogged the HVHT with both dogs. I thought this would be more of a hike, but T-dog kept up a good pace. If it wasn't for all the stops for river swims, it would have been a 2.
Another phenomenal hike in the fall colours. This weekend I've done the full tour of Eastern Caledon.

I didn't do the full core workout, but did some work for my left knee. I also moved another load of firewood, but didn't log it.

Home Gym Workout 1

I took a break from refinishing the kitchen counter to ride to Albion. Talk about spectacular! Colours just short of their peak, 17C and sunny. It was hard to keep an eye on the fallen leaves on the trails when I'm staring up with my mouth gaping open! Rode almost everything and back home.
