Training Log Archive: 'Bent

Nice easy tour down to Albion and around with Bash. Spring birds and foliage at their peak, and trails are perfect. Bash got lots of pics- I hope some of the ones I took of her come out OK.

I think all the not-running is helping my biking- I put the hammer down on a few of the longer hills in bigger rings, and my speed's up on the climbs I usually measure.

Workout #1 + leg stuff.

To work with the Bulletdog, who got a ride home with Bash, then the scenic route all around Palgrave East. Some traffic out there- I caught a very surprised group of riders on the most technical part of Salty Stephen singletrack. I guess they're not used to being passed by a recumbent with a big commuting load.

Singletrack route to work. Pre-swam the Bulletdog.

Too dark to bike home with the pooch, so I ran a Tiptoe Through The Tulips in my FF Treks. I'm slow in them, but hopefully easy on the knee.

Long way home via red dog and pond to cool off the Bulletdog.

Knee feels fair after yesterday's hike test. Not 100% but better than when I've run. Lotsa icing tonight.

Easy ride due to some technical problems on the Omega's steering.

Test hike with Bash and Bulletdog on the steepest hills of Hockley to see if my knee's up for the Mountain Marathon. No running.
I had my full MM pack on (5kg ) and an extra 2kg of water. With trekking poles I only felt my knee on the downhills. See how it is tomorrow.
