Post-lunch spin-out for the legs.

Hobbit's Rib Raid- Frozen Toe Edition.

Consolation run with Crash, Bash and WandAR after GRR was postponed.
Lots of ice pellets on the ground, but no deadly smooth ice, and not quite as muddy as it's still somewhat frozen. Finally got to use summer shoes, as spikes were finally not mandatory.

We did a little exploration of the little known trails on the block I used to live on, then Bruce up K2.Nice to have company.

I headed North through Glen Haffy while they turned back. Haffy was icier and snowier, and I took a few falls and got my feet pretty numb, but they thawed out on the short road section back.

Legs were a bit sore at the end, and we were heading to the Caledon Inn so no time to cool down or stretch. Good outing, good lunch.

Tapering for GRR as per coach Spaff's strict instructions.

I just heard it's postponed to next Sunday.
All rested up and packed and ready to run 4 hours tomorrow too.

C • You can still run 4hrs tomo... 4

GRR Substitute run, anyone?
I know lots of folks are in town and ready to run.

How about doing a long run up here in Caledon, starting around 9 AM, and possibly lunch at The Shed or Caledon Inn after?


UPDATE: We have a loose plan. Meet at our place at 8:45 a.m. with the plan to start running by 9 a.m. We'll head out on trails toward Glen Haffy. 'Bent plans to run at least 3 hours. Crash and I are thinking 2-ish. It's an out-and-back-ish type route so we'll find a way to deal with people's different paces and plans.

If you'd like to do some navigation enroute, go to the Giant's Rib Raid from the 2010-2011 season and print the Foreigner's routes - Raid #1 and Raid #2. There won't be flags but you will be doing a real Giant's Rib Raid! :)

Then out for lunch so bring some dry clothes.

Best to let me know if you're coming. Hope to see a few of you! :)

Freak April snowstorm, but we didn't get any freezing rain yet.

Steady run to work and back via a few extras with BZdog.
Better running than the oatmeal mud. Humber river was raging.

"Is it an hour yet" fairly hard spin on the trainer.

Foothab, kneehab, workout #1 and some KBs. No KB shoulder press though.

Still an icy commute in the AM. Dumping rain in the PM, and the melting ice was better than the soupy muck on many of the trails. Deer were out so BZdog wasn't exactly focused on the Singletrack- he was bouncing up on his hind legs to get a better view- looked like a black Tigger.

Best I could do in the pouring rain, fog and oatmeal mud.

Commute+ w/ Mocha
Some solid ice on the way there, drowned rats on the return.

Knee was a little touchy at first but settled down.

Been a while...

Link workout.
