Saturday: Slept in (~10 hours), puttered around, then went for 25km of #Cycling in the cool 3°C rain, briefly crossing paths with the April Ottawa Critical Mass Ride. No other exercising. https://youtube.com/shorts/hA-Qk4OUy78

Saturday: Slept in, puttered around, and timing worked out for me to join the Critical Mass Ride through the city. Came across @jessrawk near the end, so I stopped to catch up.

Here’s the 60-second view of the crowd on Queen Elizabeth Drive:

#Ottawa #ottbike

Friday:
102 seconds of plank
11 minutes of yoga for runners
30 minutes of HIIT
20 minutes of strength training
25 KM of #cycling (8°C).

The HIIT workout really was tough today; a bit too fast for me, but I managed.

The ride was nice enough. Did have a pickup truck parked in the cycle track on Laurier though. Don't think they too much of me dinging at them.

Wednesday:
115 seconds of plank
11 minutes of yoga for runners,
30 minutes of HIIT
20 minutes of strength training
25.7 KM of cycling (10°C, wind gusts to 35km/hr)

Had a tough time with the HIIT today.

Weather was more to my liking today; overcast and cool. Then it started to rain about half way into the ride. 🤷🏻🤣

@silkevicious The front-facing camera is a first-generation DJI ActionCam, and the read-facing one is a GoPro Hero…6? Better view of the full video here: https://youtu.be/lW7-DQNupmg

Monday activities:
126 seconds of plank
11 minutes of yoga for runners
30 minutes of HIIT
20 minutes of strength training
26km of #Cycling around #Ottawa

I seem to have managed to pull something in my glutes during the *warm-up* for the HIIT. 🤦🏻

Saw a snapping turtle slowly crossing the recreational path, which was nice - hope it shows up in the video.

#AppleFitness

Saturday: Slept about ten hours, puttered about a bit, then went out for 27km of #cycling (13°C).

Bit of a different route, ran into a bunch of detours over on the Gatineau side that were not particularly well marked.

Saturday: Slept about eleven hours, puttered around for a while, went for 26km of #cycling, including a stop at Lebreton Fields, to do some testing for an upcoming music festival, forgot to restart my watch until I was halfway home.

Here's a time lapse of the ride [edit fixed link]:

@Gargron If they don’t like it they don’t have to support it. Being a charity in the US encourages more Americans to donate.

Would be nice if there was an internationally-accepted “for the good of everyone” organization without having to file paperwork in 100+ countries.

Friday: 150 seconds of plank, 11 minutes of runner's yoga, 30 minutes of strength training (#AppleFitness), then 5.3 km of #running (7°C), and then 24.5 km of #cycling.

Typing all that out now feels like it was a lot for a Friday morning, but all in all, it felt pretty good.

Here's the route I cycled through #Ottawa and #Gatineau in 60 seconds: https://youtube.com/shorts/zgEmjFcM_84

@marquisdegeek @Linux I’ve been referring people over to @fastmail. Good service, works great.

Sunday: Slept in, 20.9 km of #cycling with @TAV with a stop for brunch near the end.

Tuesday: 150 seconds of plank, Yoga for runners, and then 12.2 km of #running (7°C).

It's always fun when the yoga includes *more* plank. 🤣 Playing with routes; included a long (~1km) slow uphill which was also fun. At least it was nice and cool morning run, even if my knee was speaking to me again. 🤔

Sprocket was making a wacky face this morning that I managed to catch (dog in second photo).

Saturday: No exercise other than 24km of #cycling. Too much puttering around in the morning. 60 second timelapse here: https://youtube.com/shorts/JuTxPN_dAt0

Friday: 114 seconds of plank, 20 minutes of #AppleFitness HIIT, 11 minutes of yoga for runners, followed by 6 km of #running (0°C).

I know I've been doing the Apple fitness workouts for a short time now, but I think they're going to have a positive effect, given some time.

So much to do today. Late in leaving for my run, and racing to get through today’s todo list.

@Gargron (Canada)

@Gargron Congratulations and thank you for the hard work you have put in. It's made social media so much more lovely for so many.

@PaulaToThePeople 🧡 Look forward to seeing what you do. I walked my way into running, 10km, 20km, and more. Then one day, a friend suggested I should try running with her. Next thing you know, I'm running. 🤣 My path: https://leroux.ca/the-serendipitous-runner/

@Bossito @EU_Commission @Wikisteff I think some European influences here would be an ideal thing. Plus, we have maple syrup. And poutine. And in some cases, maple poutine, which is a wonder to behold unto itself. 🤣

@EU_Commission @Wikisteff Now that Canada officially shares a land border with Denmark now that the Whiskey War has been settled (for those who don't know: https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Whisky_War), I believe it would be reasonable to start discussing the possibility of Canada joining the European Union.
