I just had to mention that in spite of global warming, intense effort and hours at work, an aging body things aren't all that bad here. This winter we got our first snow in early December and it was weeks before it ever made it above freezing. The skiing...

I could feel it in my bones. Like a hound on a hot trail I knew it would snow. Snow it did with the 1st Dec. 1st snow since 1990 (big snow that is). The snow compressed and firmed up. They have either rolled or groomed most local trails with further grooming...

Did you ever notice how sounds get muffled when it's cold. 30 skiers did 30 reps (30/30) (sounds like thuddy) in the cold [17 degrees], calm air. I was gauging effort by watching the water vapor clouds everyone put out against the uphill light. Cool....

Despite wet at times weather and a brisk south wind 20 spirited bounders carried on and carried [ME] up the hill in a fast paced and informative session. Most people improved as they went along and seemed unaffected by the wet. When you are putting out...

Pulling the train. Hoooeeee. Twenty-nine stout skiers got the chance to enhance [nice] their hip flexors Tuesday night and discover what it felt like to be a beast of burden. The night went by fast with near ideal conditions [51 degrees and no rain] and...

Tee shirts to parkas. What a difference a week makes. The 34 degree temps combined with a 25 knot wind that rivaled a summer evening on Ellsmere Island (go look it up). The twenty [20] athletes that came were treated to, as Dan "dances with shorts" Statz...

Push Pull and Drag The last bounding session of November went out like a Lamb chasing a Lion. The temps were near 60 degrees for the 29 skiers taking in 29 reps and a monster Lactate Interval. Tee shirts and lace weather to be sure with colder stuff predicted...

Tuesday nights have been damp affairs and last night was no exception. The weather was great, 62 degrees and damp soft grass..............until............the heavens opened up with 6 reps to go. Sometimes it is even more fun in the rain[1] but with Dr....

Week four dawned 20 degrees colder than the weekend. The wind was brisk at 18 knots. 15 skiers joined in the fun. We did 31 collective reps up the hill. Many had heart rates into the 85 th percentile. Jeff spent $500 entering next years Ironman and Chris...

Cooler yet nice conditions greeted the group last night, our 1 st under the lights. The "soft" start got hardened a little last night and a little was added to the upper body elements. We worked on (and will continue to) MAINTAINING A FLAT SKI (FOOT)....

"barefoot girls sitting on the hood of a Dodge, drinking warm beer in the soft summer rain" Bruce nailed that one. A soft rain and mist that made for almost perfect conditions tempered the warm humid conditions. The turf was soft and the grass had almost...

For a diversion from trying to get my head around the value or lack of value of WCF, I took up a project only a geek could love. I wanted to be able to manage my cell phone data from my computer, and it had to be with software that could run in debian...
