Sunday +5.21 miles

Monday +4.69 miles

The weather has been great! I love walking along the lake and through the park!

I suck. I haven't gone running since Thursday. Must get shoes on and butt out the door.

4.62 miles for me today.

10K + 3.8 warmup/cooldown

I can not believe how slow I have gotten this past few months. 8 lbs * 2-3 seconds per pound = 16-24 seconds per mile....uh hmmmm maybe THAT's it.

I'm back from Ottawa! The first half of the course was very hilly, even started uphill. I pretty much felt like soon as a downhill ended we'd turn a corner and ran up another hill. They were longer gradual hills. They pooped me out and I essentially wanted to die from km 14 onwards! It was also very packed and I should have started in an earlier corral because I was constantly weeving through people, I think some people also started in the wrong corral. The water stops also slowed me down, in addition to the heat, I have actually never run in weather that hot. There was a sponge station and I have never felt so refreshed!

I finished in 2:04, grabbed a ton of food even though I felt like barfing and stood in the middle of the crowd with my tin blanket on hoping someone would be looking for me. Sure enough my dad found me, along with my mom, 2 brothers and 2 sisters. My dad finished in 3:07 (he did the full). About 10 minutes after I was done the "gee that was fun!" excitement set in. And now I'm pumped to recover and get onto marathon training! It's all so exciting because I feel like I have a ton to improve on, like working with an empty canvas!

+2.5 today, treadmill HIIT

Went canoeing for 12 miles today. My whole body is sore so I feel like that counts.

SM177 - Congratulations!! Awesome time!!!

DH and I went kayaking in the keys over the weekend, so I missed a couple of running days - although got a 10 mile run in yesterday morning. That puts me at 492 year to date. Although, we kayaked 20 miles over 2 days! It was just awesome. I've racked up almost 75 miles of paddling so far this year, but I'm tracking that separately .....

+2 miles. I have a nagging hip problem threatening to turn into a major problem so I'm babying it a bit by doing more biking than running. I may take the rest of this week off running altogether and see if that does the trick...

Awesome job!

I am about to go out for my morning run...today is my first double of the season Woohoo!!! My team runs on tuesday nights in a hilly hilly kick your butt trail.
