Have a great time Crash

Up early this morning for a quick 3K around the neighbourhood, now heading to Kingston to see the in-laws and run Beat Beethoven tomorrow.

Have a great weekend everyone!

Go Crash!

Just a short one this morning and a longer one tomorrow.
Bike ride this aft too with hubby.

Glad the weather forecast went from miserable to sunny.

I think I'm going to make today rest day #7, and will return to running tomorrow.

We're supposed to do 18km today. Don't know if I will have time for my second breakfast before I have to head off to Dragon Boat practice. DB races next weekend.

I will head out for a run in a bit. Not sure yet how far but it is too nice out not to go.

You are so right. I stopped just after 7km since I'll run longer tomorrow but what a beautiful day out there!

After QC's butt kick in another thread, I decided to go out for an easy 5k. No watch, no garmin, just enjoyed and stopped to talk to some friends along the way. Lungs are definitely feeling the cold, though.

3C and rain...... Seriously? Toque, gortex and gloves this morning....

First post-marathon run will happen when hubby gets up! I'm looking forward to it, the weather is great here too

Hope you have fun at the race Andre!

Good luck, Crash (don't crash! :lol:

).

Not sure what today will bring. It's raining and I don't want to ride in the rain, so chose housework instead. If it clears up this aft, I will ride then.

Ooooo, thundering now!!

Just back from the 5K Redemption Run, in support of the Harvest House, this morning, and somehow came away with a 21 second PB and sub-20 minute 5K ... :shock:

that was supposed to have been a training run, in preparation for next Saturday's Run for Rogers House 5K .. :shifty:

Just a bit of R&R time, then heading out for an afternoon shift at the Bush ....

He can't crash. Doesn't have his bike.

For me, a very slow 6.8 km run with some friends.

Not sure what to do today, small run or not and may waver on the side of caution. Knee was still giving grief last night so may hold off. Still haven't decided on a training plan yet so really no agenda yet.

Will do yard work with my stupid mower that just got out of the shop again, and then visit with my fam.

Rest day today.... no wait correction, no planned run day today!

Getting ready to play two slo-pitch baseball games, then have some quality family time. Tomorrow is much the same, I will run in the 5K fun race Run Up For Downs at SFU, then quickly drive off to park to play another two more slo-pitch games.

Went for a short run last night after a couple weeks off, ITB started hurting again after about 2.5k.

Sometimes rest isn't enough for these types of things- have you had any therapy for it?

Nope not yet, was trying to avoid it, mostly because of limited time.

There is a good sports medicine place nearby though, I may need to start jumping through the hoops to get in there.

The store now has staff meetings every day at 8AM, so had to head there first thing this morning..... decided to take the road bike. Round trip it was about 20K. The way home was a torrential down pour, thunder and lightening. I keep thinking I should just head to the subway station, but I was so cold and wet I just wanted to keep moving.

Edward · Postby **Edward** » Sat Jun 04, 2011 1:41 pm

Still can't run, calf tear has not healed up yet. Went for a long 147 k club ride today, got soaked in a major thunderstorm. Good times!!!!

Now back to the garage to clean all the manure, oil and grit off my bike!

A very fun trail run with Msdesigner and TrailChild this morning. We did about 7k in Kanata.
