Wow :shock: what a great day outside! Presently 28C outside according to the Weather Network, but 30C in the backyard. The dogs played frisbee in the backyard for about 5 minutes then looked at me like I was stupid. Run commute done, but was it a hot run this afternoon! 8)

Cool race Kristen and Lisa! 8)

14 mile LSD on schedule for this weekend may or may not get done
30 days to race day and :(



Got in 7K and, dare I say?, I "think" it felt better than last run on Sunday.....................
Was really tight and ouchie until I got to 13 mins 47 sec and then it loosened up and I stopped limping.\Hmmmmmmmmmmmmmm
I was feeling not too bad at all when I called it a day but I wanted to end on a positive.
Will ice ice baby for the rest of today and try 10K or so tomorrow.


Glad to hear it felt better...take care of it though... have you gone to physio? don't make the same mistake I made... go to physio and make sure you're icing and stretching!

Hot and dusty day here too. 7 miles on a new route that was hillier than I had expected.

24k today- 17 k on the road to the conservation area, 7 k on trails, and then Mrs McD drove me home. First sunburn of the year on my bald head from putting the kids' trampoline up this morning.
Keep on rolling, just a mile to go. Keep on rolling my old buddy, you're moving much too slow.
