Canada and training

This week is all concerning competing my training week with a recovering injury and bitterly cold temperatures in Canada. All my overnight stays are in Canadian cities, with gyms that are average at best. The need to be inventive in getting high. For example, $22 in cab fares was spent on finding a gym during my 4 hour break (sit) in Washington DC.

Tonight, Ottawa provides the challenge of completing a strength workout. Traditionally, running would be the order of the day. However, the injury is not quite up to par for a run just yet, so the room strength in order. There shall be numerous inventions with the resistance bands in my bag. Let's hope no one peaks through the window and finds me in all different kinds of contorted situations, tangled up in elastic!

The crux is that today would be a perfect winter run day in Ottawa - -20f and sunny skies. If only the abductor would allow it. It will require a lot of self control to prevent that from happening. The lack of winter clothing should help with that.

That's it for now. I wish Constitution and Napoleon a speedy recovery from their illnesses.

Good luck to us all!
