Training Log Archive: 'Bent

Time to test out the various defective body parts on some real snow.
Out at Highlands with Phats, Bash, Tiny and Hillflyer. I actually felt good and skied OK for 7 weeks off training. The rib hurt most on steep uphills or if I really put the hammer down, but it was bearable, and so-o-o worth it just to be out. Highlight was catching Almageddon and passing him on uphills, but he lost me with his superior glide (and skill) on the gradual downhills.

Knee and rib both sore afterwards, but I'll take it!

Oh great- my rib's still sore.
Now I'm living a Shania Twain song. How has it come to this??

I seem to have done something to a right rib lifting the injured hound into the car in the cramped space in the garage on Monday.
Most of today's workout had to be abandoned or severely lightened as the rib hurt- now that my knee's 75% better.
Not exactly inspired to train now.

First ski of the year. Borderline conditions and recovering knee, so I took it very easy. Had to abort when my rib hurt.

Crunchy run to work and back. No pooch- bulletdog needs rest.

Short run- part way to work I noticed Bulletdog was lagging, rather than running circles around me like a... bulletdog. She seemed to be favouring one front leg, so we turned it around and I drove to work.

Short, dark and drizzly run on the HVT with Rocky and Scooby. Oh, the peer pressure! I borrowed Lee's Ayups for driver-blinding light.

Knee- not bad. Trivial pursuit after- the guys got destroyed by the girls. Birthday cake for Leanimal and Scooby- outstanding!

CN contours-only training went well- everyone showed up in the freezing rain!
I got about 30 seconds of strength doing pushups with Scooby standing on my shoulders, but that's it for the last 3 days.
