Hole in the Head Sunday

[RayMan]

Had a great 21 kms LSD in the sunshine - not too hot out yet. Last really long run before Boston!

[mas_runner]

14 km LSD around the Ottawa River, weather was perfect, kept it nice and slow (6:30/km pace)...

[orleansrunner1962]

Great 14 km run with the 1/2 marathon clinic this morning -- what a gorgeous day -- came how and refuelled, sitting in the backyard with DH -- now getting ready for dinner at the In-laws....

Happy Easter everyone!!

[RA.]

10k done in 1:20 or so. Not bad considering it was VERY up-hilly and my first run in the heat this year (24 degrees).

[Dr. S]

7 miles in 1h22, so 11:50'ish pace =) That's pretty fast for us!

It might have smth to do with the pre-run chocolate boost

[Habs4ever]

10k in windy Medicine Hat.

[ChrisL]

26km LSD run this morning. Beautiful day for running.

[JacSprat]

Awesome! Congratulations C - on a number of counts Have a great run with your brother, and I hope there are many more to come

I tried to post ealier but something wasn't working right for me 14km LSD done now. It's a gorgeous day!

Happy Easter everyone!

[Kristen]

7K recovery run... got a little windy and started to sprinkle; good distraction from a few little aches & pains.

[Sir Crashalot]

I will be attempting my 1st 10km run on the roads this morning! Wish me lots of luck!

1st 10km on the roads 'this year.' Thanks for keeping me company for part of my 29km run.

I could have easily done without the 30km/h headwinds... but it was great on the way back! 1:08:31 for my 1st road 10km going against strong winds too!
30km this afternoon on the bike.... going into the same winds as well. Once we hit the turn around point, it was near effortless supersonic all the way back home

[daddy_runner]

25k run done. Felt horrible the whole way. At least it's done.

[JSmitty]

10 miles done with DH. Really impressed with his recovery from ATB. Maybe he needed to push more!! Don't tell him that.
As for me, I think FINALLY my bronchitis is leaving me after 17 days of crapola!! Still, I am using the next couple of weeks as semi-easy weeks until everything is clear in my lungs. Ottawa is next and perhaps Sporting life 10k (a tradition). Now to hold DD hostage for chocolate!!!

[CinC]

will be heading out for 20-21k in a little over an hour from now - the DH and a couple of his friends are going for his last pre-Boston LSD of 20 miles then too! Easter dinner at friends tonight!

20.2k done in 2:14 - started with the group running the 'Hustle for Hunger' 10k/5k race - right on where I wanted to be pace wise for the first half (running into the wind - go figure) - slowed it down on the second half - still averaged out at 6:40min/km I believe so I'll take it.

The DH and co got in 18 miles - so he's on taper now.

[VeloCarrie]

10K trail run done. Still feeling sore from yesterday, so I took it easy. Awesome day! I made some chickpea and cauliflower curry and it's simmering on the stove now.

The dogs had a spa day too, with teeth, nails and brushing done followed by a little walk down to a spring near the river for a swim.

[moof324]

Had a couple of nice hikes this morning, and we're back home now chillaxing with the cats. Good trip!

[दिवंगत]

Long ride today; the weather is perfect and I'm looking forward to 2.5 to 3 hours of awesome riding and a T-run after. Happy Easter!

Very windy 90k ride and 5k T-run done. Now for an Easter family dinner.

[lisaannr]

12.75k @ 6:23/km pace, a little faster than LSD pace. The good news is that my IT band didn't give me any trouble, it was my best run in a long time. How I just need to keep doing what I am doing so I can continue my "recovery".

[Marg]

Back from Montreal and enjoying a Malibu with pineapple juice (thank you IronColl).
Busy day tomorrow and getting sad that the heatwave will be coming to an end.

Hope everyone is having a great Easter!

[Nicholas]

No run today since, well, I can't run. Pork tenderloin on the BBQ for 4 of us tonight...we should have all 5 here for lamb on the BBQ tomorrow evening.
No chocolate today...can this really be Easter?

[trixiee]

Had the kids in for a delicious brunch, then walked 12 - 13 K! A snooze on the couch... now Prime Rib and wine for 2!

[cavia porcellus]

Thanks for sharing your story, ceileigh! I hope this is the first of many runs for your brother!

I did 8km this afternoon after an early Easter dinner with the folks. My legs didn't seem to wanna go and I took about 5 walk breaks which I've never had to do before. Hopefully tomorrow is better!

[ultraslacker]

The good news is that my IT band didn't give me any trouble, it was my best run in a long time.

yay!

[Hermes]

Happy 4-year anniversary, Ceiligh.

Had a great 2-hour run in a different part of Montreal - a park on the West Island: Bois de Liesse and Bois Franc... and it felt like very good preparation for the Montreal 1/2 marathon which I'll be running in 2 weeks!

What a beautiful day, and so lucky to have run on trails. Much quieter than Mont Royal, albeit also much flatter, but the air was balmy, with a bit of a cooling breeze. A perfect Easter run, complete with sightings off ducks and red-winged blackbirds, lots of robins, squirrels and a snail!

[eme]

3 hr long run done. Time for a shower and then loafing on the couch!

[barebuns1]

Good 10k Race this morning ( Race report to follow) Good chest and triceps workout later in the afternoon.
