yeah... it's been a while... sorry...
what's been going on? well... start with a busy month at school and home (concerts, starting volleyball team, sick kids... the usual) and then building for the winter of training.. the knee is doing well and isn't a factor anymore .... as long as i keep it stretched and pulverize it on the foam roller....
a big factor i think has been my commencing of Hot Yoga at Moksha Brooklin... great place with great instructor and an affordable Community Class and Karma class.... www.mokshayogabrooklin.com for more info... and it's always good for a mid-afternoon nap!!!!
in my efforts to build my endurance and strength... and get outside but NOT on the bike... i decided to go for a nice snowshoe with Eric Batty.... yeah... if you don't know about him - he's one of the guys who decided to Pole Run the ENTIRE 78km Kilarney Trail Loop.... in 12hrs!!!!!
so after a nice warm up (jumping off logs and pretending that i wasn't at threshold) we settle into a nice pace of jogging the flats and downhills and walking (thankfully!!) the uphills.... turned out that i'm not that unfit since it was just a matter of finding a pace about tempo and keeping the breathing under control...
turned out to be an enjoyable 2hrs of 10.8km of Hill-hunting in Durham Forest...... might even do it again!!
