Training Log Archive: 'Bent

Took the big guy to the Dingle and Glen Haffy. We did 6 repeats of the run up and down the Dingle valley from various sides, and did all the big hills we could find in Haffy too.

After dragging me around behind the bike yesterday, he finally tired out after about an hour or so. Still kept up OK, but wasn't dashing here and there.

Cold is feeling better, but I have a tight right glute-hammy thing going on.
Oh well, 3 days of work, courses and no training coming up.

Easy commute with Bulletdog. She was on a stop-and-sniff mission on the night run home. I might still be out there if I didn't hurry her along.

Nice frosty ride in at -8c with the big guy in great form, and the longer way home. Nice to have good cold-weather biking gear.

Took the big guy on the longer route home- the forest is gorgeous, but full of squirrels that drive him crazy and make for a lot of strong yanks in all directions.

Peak 2 peak with Gally.
Took some Advil cold&sinus to help clear me up, and didn't feel too bad, if not running 100%.

Really enjoyed running with Gally- we worked well together as he can read a map at speed in the bush a lot better than I can, but I can scoot ahead to check things out. He has also perfected the high-speed butt-luge down the soggy valleys, and is surprisingly fast in the bush for someone who claims he "doesn't train".

We got a bit tied up looking for 11 which had been stolen, but after wandering a bit decided we were in the right spot. Good to have 2 heads there.

Fell-cross were perfect today.

C • Love the butt-luge technique:) 6
