Nope, no holiday here. Working 10-7 today. Hopefully it will be sort of quiet there as we were under-staffed yesterday and got SLAMMED

I do get the holiday, even though I live in Quebec - good negotiators at the hospital I guess :)
Plan is for 8 slow K on the treadmill at some point today, gotta shake the "I'm on holiday don't really feel like moving fast" feeling first.

Have a great race Ang!

Not sure what's on my plate today... I think my book needs to be read :D in the sunshine :D
I'll likely do a short run this evening, and a nice walk in the sun.

Have a wonderful day!

Good luck, Angela! Get your mental on.
I did a very slow 6K this morning. The pulled groin was OK with me going in a straight line but I had zero energy. These days happen, so we'll focus on putting in some easy miles this week until normal service is resumed....I'm due for a cut-back week, anyway.

I got a course PB, but that's about it. First 2 miles were great. I should have quit there. :p 57:33 by my garmin.

I slogged out 5.5km along the ocean. Very melty out here, but going boating later. Yesterday we went to Hemingway's house/museum. The estate houses 50ish cats. I didn't want to leave. :lol: Had to buy a couple books and a cat mug.

Have a great day!

Very hot & sweaty 25K this morning. So nice to have a long weekend.
Keep on rolling, just a mile to go. Keep on rolling my old buddy, you're moving much too slow.

Undecided about what to do today. Either a rest day or a recovery run later. I'm feeling a little heavy-legged after yesterday's long run.

Finally, decided to roll out of bed this morning around 7:30am PDT :shifty: then promptly went out for a nice and easy 30 minute / 5.15K recovery run in the 'hoods of Richmond District ... Legs do not appear to be any worse for wear, considering that I ran a maratho less than 24 hours ago ... :shock: :?

My Cousin is off work today and has offered to take us wherever ... not sure where that is, but hope to be somewhere, that includes outlet shopping .. :shifty: and, touristy attractions ... :pray: :pray: :pray:

Hopefully going kayaking in a few hours.

Race #2 for me as well today- I raced the 2 miler in Dartmouth. It wasn't great- I was still feeling my race on Saturday in my legs, as well as lack of sleep. I actually didn't overdo the wine last night (but I did Sat night!). I couldn't even hit half marathon pace- lol. Ah well, the great thing about short races is there is always another one around the corner to do. And my performance Sat makes me more confident that a 20:xx 5k is still within reach this year. :) A fun afternoon of sailing rounded out the day. Natal day totally kicks Simcoe Day's butt!!

5K early this morning, and another 5K in the afternoon heat. Trying to get the body used to whatever Mother Nature has in store for the Midsummer...
