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!

I had a nice 5.5k run in the woods. Not really "blah," just kind of mellow.

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 ...

Re: Toronto Waterfront 10K was AWESOME.
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.

It's a coolish first day of summer here, too. I'm going running shoe shopping today--got a gift card and a coupon, so my shoes will be almost free! :D I'll get my run in late this afternoon.

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!

Re: Steamy Sunday . . .
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!

Re: Late Monday Thread
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.

Seems we always have the opposite weather from Habs. Very cloudy, rainy and windy here. Got my 30 min. run in before the rain started.
