Hiking 2:00:00 [1]
Coach Spaff wanted hills with poles but no running, so Bash and I took BZdog on the hilly Bruce Trail from 7th line down to hwy 9, on the side trail and back. Saw jack-in-the-pulpits, lots of trilliums, heard spring birds, and had a good hike.
Felt the heel/ achilles from yesterday by the end.

Note
Light geek alert- Glowworm X1 2013 model on sale for $100 clearance. This is basically a pro Bentblaster.
850 real lumens (not Chinese lumens ie fiction as found in knock-offs) , 2900maH battery
http://www.action-led-lights.com/collections/glowo...
Headband is $12.
This year I went to XML2 LEDs (1000 lumens) and 3400maH batteries, but the parts alone cost me over $100 and it's no top end production model like the Glowworm.
This year's Glowworm X2 is over $225.

9 AM
Running 3:30:57 [3] 30.87 km (6:50 / km) +812m 6:02 / km
shoes: Hoka Mafate 3
Coach Spaff wanted 3.5 hrs with runnable hills, so I ran to BGY's place and we did Glen Haffy and the Dingle from there, and back with a Mt Tobler North Face climb at the end.
Easier pace, no hammering on downhills, but by the end the usual suspects were bugging me- left heel, hip/core thing, and also a bit on my bad knee.
I'd better get the taper dialed for SS and Cayuga

Running 1:30:00 [3]
shoes: Salomon FellCross
Planned a hilly run in Palgrave West, but Bash heard gunshots so over to Palgrave East to run the hilliest bits with repeats. Cool but humid, and Bazingadog had 2 swims and a wallow.

Running intervals 16:00 [4]
shoes: Altra Olympus
A few 4-minute intervals on a longer commute route.
7 different squirrels and 2 deer made things interesting for the big guy!

Warmup and Cooldown commute.
Also included the run home, with 2 swims for the pooch. I discovered something he likes even more than deer- we saw some bikers on a parallel trail and he was frantic to join them. He hauled me like a machine for a while, jumping up on his hind legs to catch a glimpse of them.

Cycling 2:00:00 [3] 38.0 km (19.0 kph)
Ride around the Paisley area for Frankenjack and RocksTara's engagement.
Good to see Hodge and lots of other familiar faces from BPMR. Nice ride around rail trails, gravel roads, lots of interesting bridges, and back for pizza and Scotch tasting by the river. Now that's an engagement party!
Legs pretty good given the last few days and almost no time on the bike.
I got to try Jason's Surly fatbike too. I took it on some soft boggy ground where my bike would get stuck for sure, and it just rolled right through. Perfect machine for shoulder season and mucky conditions- it didn't even leave ruts!
