Ready or not; here I come

I've been sluggish, tired, not sleeping well ... such is tapering ...

Up before 4:30 this morning and made a big soya latte with tons of honey ... this was fuel for my workout ... and what a workout it was ... 30 solid minutes on the treadmill ... last 10 were up ... up ... up ... ended at 11.2 KMH ... very happy

see you in Placid

Why does the universe seem to prevent me from swimming?

Another failed attempt at swimming yesterday; by the time I finished at work and got on the highway home the pool time for lane swim was over. :-(

Oh well, I can only do what I can do.

On a positive note, I had another excellent morning workout. Today, a strong bike workout.

Tuesday and the storm clouds continue to roll

After a brilliant sunrise, I looked out the window and saw dark clouds rolling in ... alas ... another treadmill run ... After a few knee twinges were successfully stretched out the rest of the run was great. Tried a new program, calorie count-down ... so today ... 1000 calories burned ... :-)

Running the Gatineau Loop

sunday run in the gatineau park with kawal. 22k of up and down ... very little flat

Ride Inside :( July edition

Wave after wave of thunderstorms kept this ironman from riding outside ... 2 solid hours on the trainer.

You ran all the way to Moodie Drive?

35K run with my dedicated rollerblade support crew member :-)

To Almonte and Beyond!
