Hot, hot, hot in SE Alberta. It got to 36C today, thankfully I was done 13k when it was still "only" 27.

Up and out the door and back home before it got too hot. 27km done

I love heat, I love the sun. So hard to do 13k today. Very slow slog!

We had great temperatures this morning but smoke was thick in the air from the BC fires so headed to the gym. Thankfully it cleared out by about noon. 19k done

Nope, no treadmill for me. Perfect conditions for outside run today. 18C and drizzle. 11k done

Cooling down to a high of 30 today which is still hot, not just as hot as 35-37. We have strong winds from the NW so I think we may be getting some BC smoke, although I can't be sure. I still stayed in on the treadmill, I just don't do well with faster running and heat (and now maybe smoke). 16k don...

I was up and at the pool by 7:45 to be a timer for Alberta Special Olympics. It was a long day, I'm beat and it's a repeat for tomorrow! Rest day today and probably tomorrow.

16k done in the early morning sun. Glad it's done, it's going to 36C today.

Baking here today too, but not cookies. 16km done under baking sun.

I think HOT is the theme today. Stayed in on treadmill. 19 plus km today which included 14.4 tempo.

Have a great day today, Spirit, (our only American resident, I think).

I hope to get out soon before it really heats up for the day.

Forecast here is for mid to upper 30's all week. I think the treadmill and I will start a meaningful relationship. Actually I started today. 17k done

Yes, we could try for a Maniac 150 challenge also.

Our group this morning did over 150km. We totaled it to 150.2, but then realized we forgot one gal that didn't stay for brunch after, so add another 5km to that total! We all had red shirts on and a stranger offered to take our picture. It was fun. I contributed 13km to that total.

I hope every one gets out today and does something to celebrate this great country we live in and call home.
We are headed out for a run about 9 and then brunch with the group. Maybe we can get enough of us out to total our mileage to 150km for today's run.

No tempo for me, but up and out early for 27km. It started getting warm towards the end.

I don't know what got into me this morning. Mile 1 was the usual slow barely breaking 13 min/mile. But then.... mile 2 at 11:25. Mile 3 at 11:07. Mile 4 at 10:21. Mile 5 at 10:59. I forgot to look at mile 6. Mile 7 was slower at 11:27, but still, wow! All this in steamy Seabrook where the low at ni...

Got out earlier today for 13km easy run. It wasn't too hot today so that was nice.

3km warm up, 13km tempo, 2km (really slow) cool down.

Yay!

Easy 11k along the ridge on a wet morning.

5x2km, 400m recovery, warm up and cool down for 15k on a humid morning.
