Re: Another Wet Wednesday

Bit drizzly tonight but I managed a 2.2K walk and then a 5.3K run with the group. I also did a 4.5K run last night, so hopefully getting back to some sense of normalcy...finally.

Re: Thursday/Friday are 10's

I ran 5K on the TM at 5pm and book-ended that with 1K walks at 10 minutes each. And then did my strength and stretch routine, doing sets of 10 for each weight exercise. And I felt like a perfect 10 afterwards.....but not in a Bo Derek way.

Re: Fibonacci Wednesday

2K warm-up before a 5.3K run with the group tonight. And did 3 sets of stairs at work this morning. Not sure if that counts as a fibre-nasty or not.

OK, so it's Saturday

Fun trail run with our running group this morning. We ran a new trail that is pretty gnarly...lots of rocks & roots, small tight climbs & descents plus muddy & watery areas. I don't have the leg strength yet to fight through that for long. So, first 3K was good and then I had to be reall...

Re: Wet Wednesday

Nice & dry here this evening. I did my first real run in over 4 months tonight. Had tried to re-start in September but that was quickly derailed. Managed 5.3K of non-stop running and it felt good, if slow.

Sleepy Saturday

Got my new Garmin Forerunner 35 yesterday. Seemed to work OK for the 9K walk on the trails this morning in terms of pace, distance and HR but it only counted 6,000 steps. Was a great morning on the trails but I will have to watch the step count with this new device. Not that I care about total steps...

Re: Halloween Monday

Just back from our run group's road trip to the Haunted Hustle in Haileybury/New Liskeard. A great little event done in costumes. We had six participants and snagged one second place and three third place finishes....it is a small crowd. I walked the 10K in 95m18s, using my hiking poles. It took me ...

Knee felt OK this morning so I tried a walk/run thing. Managed 10 times (250m slow run, 200m walk). Fingers crossed this is a good sign.

Went for a walk when I got home. Only managed 3.2K as my knee was bugging me and i forgot to bring the knee strap with me. Will try it on the trails tomorrow morning and then soccer tomorrow night....first time in over 3 months now.
