I really need to start reading/posting in the daily thread, reading about everyone's runs is really motivating. :D Didn't get much sleep last night (DD had a sleepover for her bday party and they were still up at 3:30am :roll: ) so I am lacking energy, heading down to do my LSD on the TM in a few mi...

Congratulations, Holly!!! I am very happy for you, what an amazing achievement!!! I was away all weekend but I was thinking about you and hoping you were doing well. Can't wait to hear more about it soon!

Congratulations to Heather & Jennifer!!! It was a great running morning today, cooler and with a slight drizzle I was very relieved since I slept in and didn't get out the door until 10:00. :oops: Did 70 minutes at 6:30/km pace, the TM training must not be too bad since I had to keep slowing mys...

I was waiting for one of my employees in Ottawa to call me when the earthquake happened.. she IM'd me just after to say she thought they were evacuating, but they didn't. I am heading to the TM in about 10 minutes for a 40 minute run, and a 10 minute walk. Looking forward to some thinking time....lo...

heading out for a run soon, distance tbd (I'm thinking 6 miles). Then this afternoon, hanging out with my cousin who is in town. I originally thought she was just here to visit but it turns out she's hoping to stay! :dance: Looking for work in PoCo if anyone has any leads (she has done waitressing ...

Congratulations Carla & Dave!!! Enjoy the rest of your time in Hawaii!

Not sure what I'm going to do today..have to do something. Likely some yoga and/or a strength session, really it's far too nice for an indoor workout but DH is working all day. :( So far I've taken DD to dancing and gone grocery shopping. We also have some chores to do around the house (take note of...

Seems like a lot of Vancouver area cyclists like to ride out by UBC, you could check out mapmyride.com and look for comments that suggest low traffic area, etc. You could also try sending a PM to el-jeffe http://www.mapmyride.com/search?txtLocation=vancouver%2C+BC&txtKeyword=ubc&lstSortBy=cs...

I am considering it .... it gets a bit expensive to take the whole family over to Victoria for the weekend but I think we're do for a trip to Victoria. :) Yeah, Royal Victoria Marathon sounds much nicer (and they could have kept that name even with the new sponsor!). I agree, Royal Victoria Marathon...

Heading out the door for 60 minutes easy, first outdoor run in about 3 weeks. Actually first run in a week, didn't run at all while we were in NYC the days were too full and we walked probably 10k a day. That felt great... 60 minutes at 6:30/km pace, felt harder than normal 6:30/km pace but that's ...

Session with trainer today .... which is good because I really need my butt kicked.

I was looking forward to a road trip. Guess I'll think about flights now.

watered down blue gatorade only on "longer" runs, that is runs over 45 minutes. shorter runs is just water.

my kids have had it (watered down) when they are sick or after a long day of dance or track.

Wow! Congratulations, Jeff. Love the report as always.

Okay, I am probably not as adventurous as others but these are my usual smoothies...

mixed berries, non-fat plain yogurt, water, and protein powder
cocoa, 1/2 banana, tbsp peanut butter, milk

Wow...this thread has me reconsidering running the half even though I haven't trained much the last month. Just kidding, I'm too old and would be paying for months.

Good luck to you digirat! Have fun on your run with JWolf!

Can't wait for the race report!

my legs are sore from Sunday's run, my arms are sore from yesterday's strength session, clearly I need to work on my core today. Will be doing an "interval" session on the TM tonight (5-6k), core work, and stretching of course.

12.75k @ 6:23/km pace, a little faster than LSD pace. The good news is that my IT band didn't give me any trouble, it was my best run in a long time. How I just need to keep doing what I am doing so I can continue my "recovery".

Welcome to RM.

Happy Easter!! Happy Anniversary Ceileigh! Had a lazy morning...just finishing some porridge and then heading out for my long run, leg and back are feeling pretty good right now so hopefully I'll do at least 12k. Then home to do some work, not going anywhere for dinner so I am going to make a small ...

wow! nice run!

DH is down at our lot in the US doing some maintenance so the girls and I have been extra lazy today, trying to catch-up on some work, then some laundry before I drop the girls off at my parents so I can do some Easter shopping. I tried to convince the girls we should go swimming this morning but it...

Have not been able to run since last Sunday. I am going to give it a try today. 14 mile LSD on schedule for this weekend may or may not get done 30 days to race day and :( Got in 7K and, dare I say?, I "think" it felt better than last run on Sunday..................... Was really tight an...
