7 AM
Running 3:15:00 28.46 km (6:51 / km) +436m 6:22 / km
shoes: Icebugs Gryllo Green
Early run with the BARF crew. Palgrave was an ice rink so most of them dropped off to run roads, but Ken, The Gazelle and I had spikes so we went up to Glen Haffy. The worst ice was in Palgrave- Haffy was more hardpack snow. Met ShedMan and Clyde the dog part way who were coming towards us and they ran with us for a ways.
Ken had issues with his shoe screws jabbing his feet and had to take breaks, but Gazelle and I had a solid but social run. Great to have him back from Taj for a while.
I put the hammer down going up K2, but an easy/moderate run for the most part.
Felt quite good still at the end. See how the knee is tomorrow.

Cycling 1:05:00 [2]
Off to see Thumbs-of-Death via road- too mucky for trails. Cold and windy day but the hail stopped. Nice and toasty in my winter biking gear, even into a solid headwind.
Where did my biking legs go??

Strength 40:00 [2]
Foothab, kneehab and part of workout 3.
Running 1:00:00 [3]
shoes: Brooks True Grit Red
Sick of the heavy and high-heeled spiked shoes, so I got some more minimal Brooks out with Kahtoola spikes.
Woo-hoo.They were great on icy singletrack, where Bazingadog slid all over the place. He eventually refused to run on the trail. Main routes were either icy, bare or muddy.
Itching to get on the bike, but no way with this ice.

Commute +.
Very icy in spots, again spikes barely held. 2-dog trot.
Can't wait to get into summer shoes.

Strength (Home gym) 45:00 [2]
Workout #2 and some easy dumbells and kbs.
I took the dogs for a hike in boots, and 3 deer ran out *right* across the trail in front of us. BZdog took off and dragged me onto a patch of ice, then on my butt and bouncing along until I hit snow. Not ideal for my back, and my ankle wasn't thrilled either. So much for his excellent behaviour yesterday. Still, these deer were almost close enough to touch. Hiking is brutal now without spikes apparently.

12 PM
Running 1:38:11 15.31 km (6:25 / km) +186m 6:03 / km
shoes: Icebugs Gryllo Green
Off with the Goose for a spikes-barely-adequate run on the HVHT. Perfect day for Harps- blowing snow, cold and windy.
Was hoping for long and slow, but time meant medium distance and decent pace, considering the footing.

Running 1:05:00 [3]

Back in the 'hood, took both dogs for a hilly run. Slushy snow and ice on the trails, but nice to be out. Bazingadog is much more restrained than the YK kids, but I kinda miss 'em too.
Strength 30:00 [1]
Foot/kneehab and lots of stretching.
My back and knee are a bit sore from YK.
