A local ski expedition with Bash down my commute to the rail trail, then into Albion, around the red trail and back, while getting our yearly pass.
Conditions were quite icy, and kept eating my wax. It took several tries to get it right, then it would wear off down to the base in a few km. Still, Albion was better than expected as they had some tracks set. So great to get a solid ski right out the door!

Workout #3.

A short hike on snowshoes with Bulletdog on leash to protect her knee, at the pace T-dog set. Didn't work- she was hopping on 3 legs after even this. :(

A short but fast ski in Palgrave West. Crunchy crusty trails, but actually better than I expected. My knee's a little sore from Yoga.

An easier jog home on snowshoes- less crust-busting.

Caron's Core workout live. Fortunately none of the dreaded legs-straight-up-while-lying crunches.

Caron's yoga class. First time my knee let me do almost all of it.

Workout #2. A bit lethargic- been short on sleep this week.

I had to do a shorter run to work on snowshoes than I would have liked on such a great morning as I had an early start to meet a computer tech- who was an hour late after all. #@!$#.

No time for T-dog's slower pace, and Bulletdog's on the injured list.

A good hard run home crunching through the crust. Knee felt fine- maybe it's almost time to remove the Injured flag.

I was planning to snowshoe home from work today with T-dog, but forgot my headlamp. Grrrr!

Ski to work on the waxless boards, as conditions are changing. The way home was pretty good, even if my skis glide like a grand piano on carpet.

Bulletdog had an appointment, but needs to be sedated to check out if her ACL is torn.

I tried to not follow tracks and run by myself where possible. Those times were probably my worse splits, but all in all it went OK. I found the map hard to read while jogging along- lots of faint contours.

The knee was a bit sore, but I ran it all. No top gear though.

Bash and I took the beasties out for a hike, Bulletdog schlepping Bash along (Still on leash due to her sore knee) and T-dog following in my tracks.
