Heaving and hauling wood.
Our neighbour F got out the chainsaw and cut up at least 20 big trees and Knobless and I took turns hauling loads back, while Bash and M stacked and cleaned up.

Home gym
Did kneehab and partial workout 2 later.

Out sawing up trees that fell across the trail and hauling them off. They're tough because the saw binds like crazy unless you make tons of notches and try to support the tree with logs. Spent quite a while out there.


Note- Finally got my Garmin ANT software working again- it doesn't like Windows 8.1 yet. Had to spend a long time with Garmin logged in to my PC. Ken helped too- so I donated more to AP.

Nice solid run with a well behaved Bazingadog. Extra hills on the way in, good pace in the dark coming home.

Foothab, kneehab and some pull-ups and cable press before running.

Easy commute with Mocha.

Out with Bazingadog to run hills in the Charlevoix trails. The biggest hills are off trail, so a fair bit of bushwhacking.

Nice day to be out, but the lad adds a lot of extra resistance by lunging after deer and squirrels in all directions, often dragging me through the choicest burs.
We are both sick of him being on leash.

I finally brought him home and exchanged him for my poles for 6 repeats of Mt Tobler and a few F&M hills.

I was hoping to log the vertical with my Garmin now that I got my ANT stick replaced under warranty but the #@% ANT software won't install.

Knee's been bugging me a bit so back to the Hokas today.
Extra hills on the way in and back. Lots of scrambling over downed trees with the big lad.
Since the clock change it's headlamp time for the return commute.

Dogless commute. Wow, there's carnage on the trails near our house after the windstorm- at least a dozen big trees down across the trails. No biking or skiing for a while.

I surprised a deer lying on the little connector trail from our property to our neighbours'. Big buck- took off like a rocket.

Fall Fifty 2013
Spectacular day for the annual Fall Fifty for Sian's birthday.
We (Crash, Goose, Coach LD & the Huets) started on a frosty morning at Chez Huet in Caledon East. We biked to Inglewood, picking up Knobless en route, then up the #%* Grange hill to the Coffee Shop That Shall Not Be Named, back though Forks of the Credit road and back to Knobless HQ.

From Knobless HQ where we picked up boats and Richard II, down the Credit river to Cheltenham. Beautiful paddle, and shot some pretty good waves here and there with no casualties.

Not sure of the spits here. Hike-jogged from Cheltenham store back to Inglewood with a detour down by the river. Many apples were picked and chomped, before TA back to bikes and up the rail trail to the start/finish for yummies and birthday poetry about sports injuries and aging athletes.

A fine day had by all.

C • Sounds like an awesome day! 5
