Solid run hauling my niece and nephew in a toboggan. They love the intervals!

Wow, yet another nice ski commute, with Mocha this time.

Foothab, kneehab and pretty solid workout 1 with some KB swings and 12-8 pullups.

Man I love my commute! Blasting along through sunny maple woods on perfect new snow with my powerful buddy. Also did a nice crust-cruise through the fields of Reddington.

He was really good today- attentive when I needed him to back off on ice and corners, or stop to de-ski. Maybe he's off his game or maybe our puppy's growing up.

C • Kind of fun to still be skiing in late March from home. 8

Very nice ski home.

Wow, ski conditions again. Bulletdog and I had an easy but pleasant ski commute this late in March!

C • Like! 1

Pretty solid commute on crusty snow with BZdog. Still deadly on the one hill.

Not feeling tired after today's race (Maybe I took it too easy) so the hounds and I ran in the soft snow up every steep and deep hill we could find in Palgrave West including Lookout Hill and Mt. Tobler from sea level.

Pleased to still have some oomph in my legs.

C • nice way to finish the day, you're a beast! 4

Ski O at Highlands. Super-strong men's field meant I didn't have a chance on skate skis, so I decided to go with my classics to allow better bushwhacking.
Last time I made some big errors, so I took it carefully and basically navigated cleanly. My skis were sticky in the fresh snow, so I was taking as many short-cuts and steep climbs between trails as I could to try and make up for the faster skate skiers.

There were 2 map changes, and I had a devil of a time with my ski map holder with gloves on- finally took 'em off and spent forever trying to jam my hands back in damp gloves with ski straps on. Cost over 2 min according to my GPS.

Fun day out, and happy I didn't mess up, even if the Masters all got Goosed.
