Saturday - Holy rain Batman......torrential downpour and then the sun is shining and then its spitting and then downpour again. So needless to say it was an inside day. Put in a 10K run on the treadmill.
Sunday - Happy Mothers Day....Danger and I decided to sneak out and get in an early ride. Stepped outside to be greeted with 5C temperatures and a wind blowing down from the north....no sunshine.....Went back in the house and put on more clothes. Back outside, this time with a toque under my helmet, gloves and another layer. Hit the road just after 8 am. From my place in Courtice the route was east on Nash Road to Green Road. Then north on Green past Taunton into Hampton. Caught up with Old Scugog road and followed that north to Blackstock. Through Blackstock and stopped at 7A. About 31K in the books. What a struggle it was to get there. The ride up is mostly uphill and today it was into the wind. A cold wind. Turned around and sped home. It was just over 63K in total and 2hours and change. My feet were frozen when I got home. Face was wind burned. Hit the shower to warm up. A tough ride...I think they call them character builders. Spent the rest of the day in the kitchen cooking and doing dishes.
Monday - Over to the Courtice Community Centre for lane swimming. An hour of solid swimming. 106 laps in the 25m pool....2.65K swim.
Seriously looking for some nice weather to get in some 100K bike rides on the weekends. The plan from here out calls for 6 days a week to be either running, swimming or biking.
Come on Dave Duvall......
