Re: Victoria's Monday
Feeling almost normal again... except for a sore back from sleeping too much. Time for a new mattress!

Re: Victoria's Monday
Short version of my hill run this morning. Nice out there but had to chuckle as I was griping at how HOT it was! Only 17C but 100% humidity made all the difference After such a cold soggy windy May it is challenging adjusting to humid conditions again! Pace was still good though. First time out in a tank top and shorts for the year!
Re: Victoria's Monday
Not sure what today will bring. Maybe some gardening; house cleaning for sure. I could go for a bike ride or go to yoga (or both), but my left hand (pad of my palm below my index finger) is swollen and sore, likely from my ride on Saturday.

Re: Victoria's Monday
Just over 6.5 this morning. Nice and easy "swim" in this humidity. All the yardwork is done so its truly a day off now!
Re: Victoria's Monday
6k easy for me today, though it didn't feel overly easy. I have to remember that this week is to relax/recover and get ready for Saturday's rest.

Re: Victoria's Monday
Had a nice 11K / 1 hour run with Beth in Kanata this morning ... starting to dail-in on my pace duties for this coming weekend ...
Not sure what the rest of the day will turn out, but it will involve a lot of r&r ...

Re: Victoria's Monday
Have a funny feeling I may be doing a TM run today... Winds are up, feels like -1C, and I have 6 mi to attempt to do race pace (edit: decided don't want to take chances this close to the event so will err on the caution side). May wait til later this evening. In the mean time I will be taking advantage of a day off and catching up on homework with a little bit of laundry and grocery shopping thrown in.

Re: Victoria's Monday
I don't think I'll run today... instead I will nap, read, and possibly clean. :)

Same here. 6km done. Occasional wind gust made it feel better. Happy Patriotes Days for all Quebecers.

I run because it's my passion, and not just a sport. Every time I walk out the door, I know why I'm going where I'm going and I'm already focused on that special place where I find my peace and solitude. Running, to me, is more than just a physical exercise...it's a consistent reward for victory!

Rest and travel day.
Just home from the cottage. I think I might have a nap. First I have to wade through laundry mountain.

Too much rest on the brain?

Re: Victoria's Monday
All my workouts this weekend revolved around chasing 4 kids around a campsite and keeping us all dry.
We got home at 12:00, had them all cleaned by 1, and I went and had a nap.
Happy Long Weekend!!

I used to run. All the time.
Now? Notsomuch.
I'm still a runner, though.
