Re: Hot Water Tank Thursday

Track interval workout - 12 x 400m alternating - quickish and recovery. 5.4k in 35 minutes. Last track interval of this training cycle.

I tweeked my hamstring on Sunday and it started complaining for the last couple of laps.

Re: Mother's Day Sunday.

37k long run, longest run before San Diego marathon at the beginning of June. Had a bit of every weather, cool and dry, steady mist, major sun shower and finally some sunshine. It ended up taking 4:17 which wasn't too bad considering my wrong turn and back tracking on a seriously muddy single track ...

Re: Sprinkling Saturday . . .

Easy 12k mostly dry with a light mist at the end. It was nice to sleep in a bit and also to be able to relax after the run before heading to Dragonboat.

Unfortunately, I don't think the weather will be as nice tomorrow for my long run.

Awesome job Bryan. Sorry I didn't get out to cheer you on but it sounds like Cheryl did an excellent job with cheering.

Re: Racing Sunday

Had an enjoyable but sluggish run in the sunshine. Around 8k done in ? minutes (I forgot to look at my watch).

Great run Jen, Rob & Bryan. I'm not going to make it down to cheer unfortunately. It felt like perfect weather for running.

Re: The Short Long Thursday

We did a longer midweek run as one of the gals wanted to do a Craft Beer run. It was a good run and great beer and snacks. We beat the rain for the run but did have to walk to skytrain in a light drizzle. Small price to pay for the sunshine we got to enjoy in the afternoon. The run ended up being 9k...

Re: Podium Saturday

Good run this morning. Schedule called for 32k but I only managed 29k in the time I had available. Missed one seabus (I thought 2minutes would be long enough to get a coffee :roll: so I was late getting to paddling). It's good I got some food though cause it was a pretty intense paddle. The weather ...

Re: Songful Sunday

Did the Sun run 10k today with 40,000 of my running buddies. After hard runs on Thursday and yesterday I wasn't too optimistic about today. It ended up being fine, if slow. The weather cooperated for a change which made me really happy. Ended up finishing in 63 minutes.

Great hill run tonight - 5 hill repeats for 6k, my butt was on the verge of complaining but I enjoyed the run a lot more than I expected to after a long workday.

Re: Sunny, not snowy Saturday

We started our run in a drizzle but the sun did make a brief appearance.

I managed 28k of a planned 29k run before I ran out of time (and energy).

Cool! Which distance?


I registered for both 10 and half.


Mary just posted on Facebook that she did too. :)

Yup, I should have gone to sleep early like I planned. Instead I have signed up for two more races in the fall :roll:

So happy it wasn't raining. Second last run with the clinic. Participants were all happy which makes us happy. Did a slow 8k which was all I could manage today.

Re: Scenic Saturday

Managed 24.5k of the prescribed 29k. I ran out of time to to the full workout but after starting the run with 10k of uphill I don't know that I could have finished the run even if I had the time. It was also disgustingly wet, I am so tired of cold and wet runs.

Re: L---O---N---G THURSDAY

Did 6k of track intervals. There were just two of us tonight. I was feeling quite cranky so ended up running on my own while listening to tunes. I was really happy that the rain let up this evening, I am so-o-o done with the rain.

Re: Triffic Tuesday

Ditto on the running in drizzle here. I am so tired of the rain, though i have to say I didn't really notice it all that much once we got running. 50 minutes with the clinic, I didn't check our distance but probably somewhere around 6-7 k.

Re: Foolish Saturday

I foolishly did 27.5 today when the schedule only called for 26 :D it drizzled for the first 90 minutes or so but then it dried up. I would have preferred to by dry for the whole run but my Icebreaker shirt was pretty good so I wasn't too miserable.

Re: Size of your running shoes

I find North American sizing to be totally inconsistent. I range from size 7 to size 8 depending on the brand. European sizing is much more consistent so I just have to pick whichever NA size is closest to 38.5 European.
I don't like black toenails so I make sure the shoes are a bit long.

This, most runs it takes me 40 minutes before I'm feeling warmed up and enjoying it (that feeling usually ends around 20 minutes later :roll: ).
Needless to say I'm not a huge fan of 5k races.

Re: ATB eve Saturday

23k today, pretty hilly route, I don't think this will be one of our regular routes now that the gals know how many hills there are at the end.

I had to run for the train directly after the run to get to dragon boat practice. Great day no rain and even some sunshine, yay!!

Mostly sunshine here, even a brief stretch that was almost warm before we turned the corner and found the biting breeze that had been lurking. 8.5 k done with the clinic. Clinic workouts are no longer rest days :)
