Re: Baking Thursday

Too hot here to turn on the oven--but more steaming than baking. 8.3 sweaty kilometers covered today.

Re: Wednesday!!

Well, the humidex was 28 when I was out this morning--it felt hot to me, sunny and light breeze. I'm just not used to real summer yet/still, even though it's July. It was a very beautiful day here, just the same, and I covered about 5k.

Re: Hot Monday

Not too hot here, but boy, there were swarms of midges or fish flies or some other winged nuisance all over the trails in the woods. I did about 6k today, bugs be darned!

Re: HAPPY BIRTHDAY CANADA, Saturday

Ooh, I wished I'd known about the 150k Maniac Canada Day challenge--I would have run more! 4k run, and 2k walked. Now to get busy baking cakes for the family gathering tomorrow. Have a great weekend, all you Maniacs!

Re: Watery Wednesday

I'm hanging around while the plumber repairs two leaky valves in the basement, then tackles the leaky outdoor tap. Thought I may as well start the daily thread while I'm waiting. I'll get my run in later today. Got my run in early this evening. It was a shorter, but quicker run than my usual these ...

Sounds like a great 10k. I had a donut after my last 10k--it really hit the spot. Congratulations on a good race!

Re: Run in the Park Friday

Too soggy a day to run in the woods. We got about 3 cm of rain in 30 minutes. As soon as that let up I ran up to the high school, under a rainbow sky. :)

Muggy Monday

It's not the most original title, but it sure fits! Five muggy kilometers in the woods for me, plus a couple k's walking. Have a good week, all you Maniacs!

Unbelievably and suddenly hot here, too. Humidex was already 31 early this morning, so I'm not running today. Will aim for a morning run tomorrow. It's suddenly summer!

Yeah, I ran late and then had to take my shower, then make dinner. Then clean up the kitchen. Anyway, got a short 4.3k in today, in a steady rain.
