Postby **Marg** » Sat Apr 07, 2012 6:31 am

Sure whatever. :lol:

Some long run of undetermined distance will occur.
Sens game this aft to watch, not sure what the evening will hold.

Finally watch The Girl With the Dragon Tattoo last night. Contemplating reading the remaining books now.

Have a good day everyone!

After being sick most of the week, and lying on the couch since Thursday afternoon, I am off to try the Spring Run Off 8pm :shock:

at High Park. No expectations, I plan on enjoying one of my favourite races.

Whew. Day after long run run...... harder than usual. A little slow, but that's ok, I'll take it. I have had 5 consecutive weeks above 40K ... high for me.

Heading out shortly for 20 ish k, I'm running with Stampie for the first part of his long run. I hope he keeps it slow or he's going to kill me.
We are meeting early for a loop around the park, then we'll meet up with the gals and run down to Granville Island.
It's supposed to be nice and sunny today but it's still going to be cool. Please come home soon spring.

First run back since last weekend. I got that horrible plague going around that turned into bronchitis. So lots of puffers, cough medicine and rest this week. 6k done at 5:47 pace with no coughing, so that makes me very happy!

Got through 14 slow KM"s this morning. I find it takes a lot of discipline to keep myself slow enough that my heart rate is within the boundaries it is suppose to be but I'm trying! Another week or two and then will re assess. By then this flu thing should have completely gone bye bye and hopefully my health will be fully restored. In the meantime I am out there running, building strength, and not adding stress while my body heals. This is good! boring ... but good!

However I could have lived without discovering someone (aka Hannah - brat!) got ON the kitchen table while I was out, took the lid off the butter dish and ATE THE BUTTER! :evil:

then pulled the tablecloth off, knocking the butter dish lid on the floor and breaking it! :evil:

Thank heavens none of the dogs got into the broken glass but why this dog thinks every table is an agility table (aka hers to get on) is beyond me! Time for drastic measures! May Maniac Mabel will have to dog sit!

where are you guys going? Text me- maybe i'll meet you for part of it (but not the beginning- barely awake

)

Eta- just read mary's post- might be tough to figure out when to meet.

5km / 30min on the cool roads of Montreal!

chunkymonkeymelonhed · Postby **chunkymonkeymelonhed** » Sat Apr 07, 2012 10:05 am

The plan is for 6K this morning.
Looking forward to getting out in this beautiful sunshine

ETA- done

Postby **Marg** » Sat Apr 07, 2012 10:49 am

22km done, 15km of it with Carm, Andy, Jesse and others. Brisk wind at times but quite enjoyable; most of it was in my hood.

horselady · Postby **horselady** » Sat Apr 07, 2012 12:05 pm

Been missing the forum the past couple of weeks due to so much travel

Nice to be back and catch up.

60 minute Spin class done this morning. Having hot flashes during it was not helpful. :evil:

Like I really need to sweat more. :oops:

I was embracing my middle age until this started to happen...Oh well...
Have errands to run today in preparation for an Easter celebration at my Dad's tomorrow.

20k done this morning in the sunshine.

I saw you, Doug!

I was standing along the route that you went out and then came back on before heading back down toward the lake.

I was volunteering managing the port-o-potty line up (#7 - NEXT! #2 IS OPEN! #9, #3, #12 ARE AVAILABLE. #4 - LOCK YOUR DOOR!) :lol:

We were sickness twins! Except (thankfully) mine didn't turn into bronchitis. :pray:

It was great to have you join us for part of our run this morning, Marg ..

We dropped off Rachel at about the 18K mark, and Carml and Joan left us at approximately the 26K mark, after crossing the Alexandria Bridge, while Jes and I continued on Sussex before turning back, just after the Old City Hall ... a total of 34K / 3:40:xx lsd run ... Final lsd in the books, before a 4 week taper for Vancouver Marathon ...

eta: Ran approximately the first 28K of the new marathon course, and I / we really enjoyed it, relatively flat, and scenic for the most part, and the new 4-5K in Gatineau is actually quite an improvement for past years, and also, relatively flat, with just a slight bit of incline, at times, but lots more on the downhill grade, imo ...

Slow 8K this morning and no wheezing. Maybe I did find the root of the problem...

That's funny because at one point one of the spectators said something to me, I turned and acknowledged her. She had red hair and resembled you, however I didn't have my glasses on so everything was blurry, and I really couldn't tell. :lol:

I didn't call out your name because you were pretty much past me before I realized it was you. it was your orange RM shirt that caught my eye.

How was your race?

Jwolf · Postby **Jwolf** » Sat Apr 07, 2012 1:34 pm

I ended up meeting Stampie at granville island for the last 8k of his run, and Mary continued with us for a couple before she turned back. It was great to see her, although briefly. Bryan really rocked his 30k! Nice to run with you both.

dgrant · Postby **dgrant** » Sat Apr 07, 2012 1:49 pm

Got out for some trail running in the Kingsmere section of Gatineau Park. Mostly #8, which is spectacularly hilly and fairly technical. Just over 7km... in over 50 minutes! Like I said, very hilly.

RobW · Postby **RobW** » Sat Apr 07, 2012 1:52 pm

Had a nice 9k run today.

Later today we'll see if Vancouver finishes first overall in the NHL. I will not be disappointed if it doesn't happen.

Rest day! Legs are feeling fine after yesterday's 35k
