Strength (misc) 30:00 [2]
Couple of hours of hand-sawing logs and hauling them. Let's call it 30 at 2.
Running (With poles) 45:00 [3]
Run with Bash and Bulletdog. I used ski poles as it's already ski season. It works especially well up hill with an exaggerated stride.
Bulletdog managed to roll in something horrible, and meanwhile the placid T-dog who stayed home managed to leap up, grab and eat almost an entire panetoni- a huge bread-like cake- from on top of the breadbox on the counter. Ahh, life with dogs.

Finished watching my DVD course. Ho hum.

Workout #2 + ski spec.
Running 35:00 [1]
A 2-dog jog through the Charlevoix trail.
Cycling (Trainer) 50:00 [2]
I had to watch some rather boring dental CE, so I rode the trainer. No inspiration to sprint to the finish.

Running (Commute) 35:00 [3]
The rest of the commute. I think I saw the sun for a second!
Running (Commute) 29:00 [2]
shoes: Montrail Susitna
A surprisingly pleasant late-night run home with the Bulletdog. No slush or rain, and a lighter pack.

Running (Commute) 26:00 [3]
shoes: Montrail Susitna
A lot quicker today on the longer route. Even had time for a second coffee- a Soy Mocha Decaf to replenish carbs and protein of course.
Running (Commute) 28:00 [2]
A dark and foggy run home. Bring on the cold and snow!

Running (Commute) 1:03:00 [1]
shoes: Montrail Susitna
Run to work with Bulletdog (Should be level 2) and a 2-dog trot home in the dark, drizzle and slush. T-dog jogged along well except for some serious snuffling breaks.
Strength (Core) 40:00 [2]
The dreaded Hard Core DVD with Bash. Why isn't it getting easier? Oh yeah, I only do it once a week- all I can stand.

Running warm up/down 10:00 [1]
Running (Thomass Sprint) 20:00 [5]
shoes: Icebugs 2
I normally don't like sprints, but in this case the format was different and I had fun.
3 things I liked-
1- Maps early. More time is helpful to those of us who think slower
2- 30 minute start range- I was able to wait until I could start completely alone. Mass starts mess me up
3- Different loops in the box- I deliberately chose routes that were away from the pack. One time I was in a group so I took a longer route just to be running alone.
Not a fantastic result, but it's *my* result.

Running race (Thomass Chase) 44:00 [5]
ahr:181 max:192 shoes: Icebugs 2
We started according to our sprint times. Again, this spread out the field a bit. Even though the Veg-O of the complicated box was a bit tricky, I liked the butterfly format as it spread the field out a lot. No top 10, but it was a true result for me and I was happy enough (14th I think).
Note
GHO party. I managed to forget my bag full of clean clothes, so had the gay biker look with a black fleece vest and no shirt, until Hammer rescued me an hour later.
I got the Climb Every Mountain award for having almost twice the vertical of Bash and Backwoods at the Allegany Rogaine, but only a few more points. Mmmm, Pinot Grigio!
