Re: Tuesday thread

3 miles on the treadmill, then 30 minutes upper body strength and stretching. Taking the bus to the gym this morning seemed my best option in this crap weather. The bridge was closed to pedestrians, and one was closed to high sided vehicles. Lots of traffic at 6:30 when I went in. I hope the wind d...

Tuesday thread

In Ottawa today and had a nice catch up dinner with a maniac last night. No running in the forecast for me today. I'm determined to get over this nasty cold.
Have a good day everyone!

In England for a week. Ran along the snowy banks of the Thames this morning. It was lovely. Not sure how far (my garmin seemed confused about where I was) but i was out for a little over 30 minutes. Then spent the rest of the day visiting a dear old friend who's 94 and just amazing. I hope I'm like...

Re: November Mileage Challenge! :)

mmm....I don't know. Last month I ran 95km and did the same on the bike. This month the biking might drop which would leave more time for running. So - - I'm going to aim for a goal of 120km for November :shock: 103 km running for me this month. Didn't make my goal but I was out for a while with a ...

Gorgeous day for running - sunny no wind about 0 degrees! 5.5 km but I felt tired - I think the cold I had last weekend is still lingering a little.

Ran a little over 5km at lunch today. Not a very happy run - tired and slow, windy, and I was a bit overdressed I think. Oh well - - 2 out of 3 ain't bad. :D

Re: Sun - day

I was going to run today but woke up with a tiny bit of a cold so decided to make this a rest day, feed on Coldfx, and hopefully kick it out. I'll run tomorrow.
Cold windy and sunny here.

Good luck all racers today!

Not quite 100% but a whole lot better than the pain of the last couple of weeks. On my way home from work I went via the beach and ran 5 kms there...

Yikes! Must be a lot of work sorting that out. Thanks Joe and everyone in the healing team. I haven't been posting lately. I've been in constant pain from a compressed nerve in the back of my shoulder for about 2 weeks. Very exhausting!! I have been running since that didn't seem to make things wors...

Re: Moody Tuesday

I've been busy over lunch two days in a row, which is when I usually run during the week, so I parked the car and ran around the lake on my way home from work. I like it :D It's a nice change. 5km today, 4 yesterday.
