Great race report and congrats on your race and PB!

6km this morning. Didn't get out very early and I found it pretty warm, I'm just not good with heat and humidity. Someday I will get used to it.

An easy 7.5km this morning.

Went out for a run this afternoon with no plan and ended up doing a very slow 15km. It was a little too hot for my liking and my experiment with a banana flavoured gel did not go well.

No run today, instead I went out on my bike for about 90 minutes. It was a beautiful day today and the river valley was busy.

Tried out my new trail shoes with 30 minutes of running trails in the river valley and dodging mountain bikers.

I've never instructed, but I have been a group leader a few times and quite enjoyed the experience and found it really rewarding. I think it's important, and was mentioned above, to do it for the right reasons and to set your own goals aside. I did find it a bit of a challenge at times to keep up th...

Lovely 6km this morning. Perfect morning for a run!

Did a nice 6km this afternoon.

Ended up staying late after work today but managed to squeeze in 5km before supper. A very hungry 5km!

I'm lacking running direction and have no training plan right now so I'm hoping that this will give me some kind of push or accountability.
Went for an easy 10km run after work.

Thanks for posting such a thorough review. I've always given some thought to doing this one, but now I'll definitely make it happen.

Thanks, I hope you have a fabulous run too. So far the weather is looking good so it should be great day to run. Good luck! Hey, Lily, I didn't make it - my boyfriend had an appointment after his eye surgery about an hour after the start of the 10k. Since I run about a 1:06 10k, the math would not ...

I did the full in Victoria in 2010 and the half in Kelowna last year. Victoria is definitely my favorite of the two - the course is beautiful and the organization pretty much perfect. The only thing I didn't love was the later start time (9am that year). Also, for slower runners that were not doing ...

I made another favourite salad around here. Grilled (or roasted) veg, beans, grain of choice and a vinaigrette. I made it tonight by grilling a basket full of zucchini, asparagus, cherry tomatoes, red onion and yellow pepper, adding a pile of cooked chickpeas, a couple cups of cooked quinoa, and a ...

There may be a bit of wind and not a lot of shade if the sun is out, but it's definitely flat and easy! I'll be doing it again if I can, I had a lot of fun last year. Hey, Lily, I'll be signing up for the 10k on Saturday (as silly me missed the online registration). I hope you have a great race! Th...

Great race report. Congrats on your PB!

I love potato salad but I hate mayo so I use plain yogurt instead (you pick the amount of fat you want). For more flavour I will put in radishes, dill pickle, carrots and whatever spices I feel like. You can add boiled egg for some extra protein and I've even put in roasted chicken if there is some ...

I did the 10km in Edmonton last year and enjoyed it. Things may be different this year, but the 10km is one big loop around the base and the 5km is a smaller loop that shares some of the course with the 10km. The half is two loops of the 10km with an extra bit (can't remember where though). The rout...
