Sly is such a dolly! He swung by on his way to his run at Thetis this morning to drop off the 7mm spikes he had. He took them off his own shoes and gave them to me. I called every running store in town yesterday looking for longer XC spikes and […]

I had a great singing lesson today. It’s going to be refreshing working on new repertoire at last!
I thought the flight departure from Victoria and arrival in Guelph on Thursday looked a little wonky. Sure enough after a checking the flight number, the information sent to those of us leaving from Victoria was […]

It was crazy at work today….so, so busy! Facing the run after work was a chore. It was raining and freekin’ cold out. I was already saoked by the time I met Matty in the UVic p-lot. We ran along the trails for a bit then headed down to Beach Dr., around Cattle Point […]

This morning’s run was at the lakes. I did one loop plus an out and back. Craig O joined me and Matty this morning and we chatted a bit about Nationals and training etc. I was breathing a bit too hard for my liking but I think with the lighter week coming […]

Yesterday was completely off from training and singing. My brother Al was in town to receive two Lieutenant Governor awards for his excellent work during his 27 years as a police officer with the Vancouver Police (he retired last year). During his career Al has “walked the beat” in Vancouver’s drug infested […]

No spinning this morning and since I had a voice lesson later in the day, I didn’t sing either. My lesson today didn’t go so hot. I had a rotten sleep last night so I was a bit fried.
Juice and I met IRR at the “Y” for a hill workout. There was a […]

I did 30 minutes on the trainer, did some stretching and got some singing in before work this morning. Juice and I met up with Boob and other IRR guys for an easy 50 minutes after work. We crossed over to the Broadmead side of the highway and made our way over to […]

No spin or morning run for me this morning. Juice did a run at the lakes in the late morning and said he felt good. I didn’t think he should jump into a track wo after having taken a week off . I met LeRoo at the track after work. She was still feeling a bit beat […]

The spin this morning was 25 minutes with a shorter run too tonight of 50 minutes. After three weeks of higher volume, it looks like we’re going to ease up a bit until after Nationals. I have to say the higher mileage has made me feel stronger (even though it made me feel […]

I met Boob and a few other IRR runners at Thetis Lake this morning and what a gorgeous morning it was! The sun even came out and it really made the run one of the best in a long time! The Thetis trails are excellent for building aerobic and physical strength and you can’t […]
