Training Log Archive: 'Bent

So, anybody want to guess Marathon times for me and Bash this weekend?
For those who know them, the evil Caron's going too, as well as The Archer, Trent D and Barrie, but I think Barrie's running the half.

Run at Marathon pace 8mph- felt pretty easy.

Warmup and Cooldown

An easier level 4 run at Marathon pace, around 4:20.

1/2kg below race weight, so I've left some room to carb load the last couple of days.

Stoopid cold's coming back. Decided to drive :(

C • Marathon 4

Bit of a slog through thick wet snow. Still fun, and the glide wax made a big difference over last Thursday.

A little better conditions on the way home, made for a nice ski by headlamp.

Sawing off low-lying logs across the trails. Many of the head-height deadfalls have dropped down.

I noticed major fence activity along the Northern border of the conservation area South of us. Looks like they'll be fencing it off at chest height just like they did to Palgrave East.

I also took the hounds for a hike and ran into Crash and Skyerocket. We commiserated on the fencing mess.

Out with the Bolton Bounding Babes to Mono Nordic. Bash was slower than us on the descents, until we switched skis. I could walk up all the hills with no poles on her waxless skis, but had to pole down! Mine were fine for her, but I glide-waxed them yesterday.

My hamstring/calf bounding injury's still bugging me a bit so I bailed a few minutes early to get in some stretching.
