Rodney's Power Yoga Flexibility with Bash. What a gumby-man the lad is!

Workout #2.

Also did some firewood chopping and hauling, but not logged (har!)

An easy hike with Bash and T-dog.

Duntroon with Bash, Goose, Kynyn and Sophie.
Good skating conditions, and Duntroon's well set out with great trails.

I started out skiing with Goose at an easy pace, but after a couple of hill climbs I was sucking wind, to the point where we sent Goose on ahead and Bash waited up for me periodically. Whazzup?? I felt like an easy cruise was a level 5 all-out for some reason. Probably some combo of no exercise for days, unusual diet last week and no strenuous exercise for months due to injury.

Whatever it was, half way through the first lap I was OK. We took a break, did a second lap and I felt strong again but my knee was getting sore. Maybe I get more stops with Bash than cruising along with the mighty Goose even at his warmup pace?

A third, longer lap with Bash. I got the wax pretty well, and the skis were just flying. We had a much better ski than I expected with warm, foggy conditions. Funny, I ran up the big S-hill with no probs at all, and was full speed ahead for the whole ski. Maybe I just need a 1-hr warmup? Classic sure feels better than skating for me.

Note- I got some new waxless skis for commuting in dicey conditions. Larry at Duntroon sure knows his skis.

Bash picked up Rodney Yee's Power Yoga 1. Sure, she wants to see a muscular guy in shorts do contortions strictly for educational purposes.
"Now - Powerful Pose".

Ate.

Hard Core DVD with Bash. Snow's too soggy and deep for much outside in the pouring rain.
