Friday was a rest day which included a massage with Kimmy. She did a great job as usual. She seems to know exactly what you need at any given time…thanks Kim! We made a tentative appointment for Dave and I to get a flush-out massage on Sunday after the race depending on what […]

My lesson with Selena didn’t go too hot today. Remnants from my cold have left me plugged up and feeling a bit blah and coupled with the fact that I haven’t sung much this past week and a half have left me feeling out of shape. I won’t be able to sing […]

The track session tonight was at Oak Bay. OCal had two different wos going. Dave, Eric, Ian and Sean were running 1km, 800m, 600m, 400m while Kev and I did 2 sets of 6 x 300m with 1 lap between reps and 5 mins between the sets. Paul wanted these run controlled which we […]

I did 30 minutes on the trainer before work. I sang again too and it felt better but I still sound like Lili Tomlin doing her One Ringy-Dingy sketch.
I ran with Boob tonight. We got a 45 minute run in on the UVic trails before the IRR track workout. I haven’t run with him […]

I haven’t sung since Wednesday because of my cold. I gave it a go this morning and it went ok but sounded pretty nasally. I feel better today I did a nice, easy run with Juice from home to Cedar Hill running the upper loop and back. My legs were quite happy to shuffle along. The temperature has […]

Juice and I did our long run at the lakes this morning. My darn cold is in full bloom now but I think this will be the worse of it as long as I keep resting as much as possible. I felt pretty blah in the first 25 minutes but the rest of the run felt ok. […]

Yesterday was off…completely off. I wasn’t feeling worse than yesterday when I woke up but thought I should play it safe and took a sick day. Actually, I thought I was feeling better by late morning morning but that only lasted a few hours and I started feeling lousy again. Chops’ 4-0 birthday bash was a must-go so I sucked […]

Thursday, April 10, 2008
I woke up with a stuffy head and feeling blah but had to go into work. I figured I’d get my 25 minute run in this morning and if I was still feeling under, I would go to work, get the work I had to do done and then go back home. The run felt ok. I ran to Cedar […]

Wednesday, April 9, 2008
I woke up this morning with that run-down feeling you get before a cold. I had the same feeling yesterday too but this morning I had a stuffy nose as well…time for some rest. Luckily, Ocal had a very easy recovery day in the works for me so that was good timing. I […]

Tuesday, April 8, 2008
I started the day with a 45 minute spin…took it easy knowing I had a track session that could have me on my knees.
Juice had 4 x 1km repeats to run today so I walked over to the track and watched some of his wo and could see a huge, dark cloud drawing in […]
