Pyrenees Thursday!

[Marg]

Why so brutal, Marg?

Just no juice in my legs at all. I was supposed to run in upper zone levels and couldn't get out of LSD pace. It's getting really discouraging that I can't improve my pace at all. Felt lousy all around.

That's too bad. Is it the heat, do you think? Or maybe just the cumulative effect from all the mileage? That's one of the downsides of running more... it can be harder to get to that hard pace. Perhaps running with someone else who is a bit faster than you a few times would help shake you out of it- that's worked for me before. I don't think I can run fast, and then I end up somehow being able to do it to keep up with someone else.

Yea I'm missing Andy.
maybe it's heat, maybe it's the big jump in mileage. Not sure but hopefully it'll break soon.

Thanks Spirit, I hope so.

whatcha doing Sunday ?

[Nicholas]

Nice 13.2K on the trails after work. Perfect evening with sun and no humidity.

[LisaB]

My boy and I did 5km this evening.... Too hot!! Swim after was perfect!

[abirdd]

Thursday - supposed to be my rest day. However, if this cooler weather is still around when I get home from work around 8:30pm - then I'll throw in 5K or so

I'm finally home, much later than anticipated. Too late for a run in this area, so going to hit the play button on some P90X or Insanity now...

[Pat29]

An easy 9 km in 45 minutes for me tonight. I don't work tomorrow so I should be able to get a run in tomorrow morning before it gets too hot,

[run mom run]

6K while the girl had her swimming lesson this evening. Second run in the orthotics was much better than the first, no bizarro shin pain! Now to figure out how to get some running in on the family camping weekend

Ar

[The Donald]

10k in 59:30. Not bad for just getting over a virus!

[QuickChick]

Good strong speed workout tonight- 8 x 400m. I felt better during the last 4 than I did for the first 4... maybe I need more of a warmup? It was a gorgeous night to run, that's for sure.

[Habs4ever]

Severe thunderstorm watches, downpours throughout the day had me on the TM tonight, but at the mile mark the rain stopped and the sun came out, so headed outside for another 10k. Hot and humid with a mosquito fest thrown in.

[IronColl]

Enjoyed a glorious rest day!

My abs still hurt from Tuesday's class.

[Stampie]

Got a a 15K ride in today on my mtn bke, a good workout on the trails to Burnaby Lake on the Central Valley Greenway.

I have a physio tomorrow morning and I expect to get the clearance to start light running by this weekend, YEAH!

[turd ferguson]

Fast finish 6k after work and stampede, with 3 hills thrown in.

Tomorrow - Hey, its a full moon, let's do a moonlight run in fish creek
