Can't believe I'm starting a morning thread!

I ran 3 miles outside in super hot conditions but stopped....having some heal pain. Heading to chrio this morning to get it checked out. Rest day today, and pick my daughter up from overnight camp tomorrow morning! Can't wait to see her!

Scheduled rest day today ... working at the shop later this afternoon/evening .... Manhattan Burger for lunch .... :drool:

Eat A Burger for Joe has been extended for today, and this weekend .... Heck, for the month of July, actually ... :shifty:

Rest day for me too. Wanted to run 6km this morning but decided on a rest day instead due to some unwanted knee issues.

Glad it's Friday!

Biked to work (already quite muggy out) and I will swim in the lake after work.

I ran 5k this morning. This is what I was thinking:

1-Ugh. This sucks. Mojo is gone
2-Hmm, maybe I should have got up earlier to run longer
3-Look at that dog - his ball is in the lake, he wants to get it, but is a wimp getting in, just like me!
4-Thank goodness this run is almost over
5-I should swim in the lake before work like that lady is....

RA, it was that kind of run was it?!

This morning T & I got up and RAN!!! I RAN!! It's very exciting because I have run a total of 3 times (including this AM) since the Perth Kilt Run :oops:

We did 4.86km including warm up & cool down. Felt awful, but a "I shouldn't have stopped for so long" kind of way... which motivates me to not stop

Forecast for today in TO is 36C. WTF is up with THAT??? :shock:

Rest day! Thank goodness - hopefully the heat subsides for tomorrow!

Rest day here. Works for me. It was hot and muggy already at 5:30AM, now almost 30C at 9:30AM. Heading towards 40C. House is closed up to keep the heat out and I am heading out to do some errands soon before it gets even hotter!

Have a great day everyone!

It's beautiful here, not too hot but they're saying stormy again later. We can't seem to put two good days together in a row.

11 km including 10 X 100 m strides. 5 consecutive days running, woot!

Manditory rest day, since I'm coming back from an injury. This afternoon I go for my "expert" shoe fitting at Le coureur. Fingers crossed for happy feet!

Slogged for 8km today

Resting up today since I'm doing the run lag of a tri relay tomorrow. It will be 6.4K in the hills of Gatineau Park. Yay. :shifty:

A tired and sluggish 10k - I really didn't feel like getting out of bed! The pathways were crowded this morning. It was a mix of runners, cyclists, guys with shopping carts full of bottles, and everyone dressed up like cowboys heading downtown for the stampede parade :lol:

Okay, really a rest day for me today. It's so beautiful out there today.

Should rename the daily thread to "Rest Day Friday". Judging from the #'s taking the day off there must be lost of racing going on tomorrow :dance:

No rest for me today! Last day of vacation - I dropped the little one off with her Granny and hit the canal for my long run at 7:30 before it got too hot. 16 km and change done - I was glad I brought water with me - drained both bottles. My post-run reward was gelato - I decided that 10 am wasn't too early for a treat!

RobW · Postby **RobW** » Fri Jul 06, 2012 12:25 pm

The schedule says to do a short run but I'm taking a rest day because my body knows better. Not quite ready to run 6 days/week. It's supposed to be a high of 24 C which we haven't seen in awhile. Day off today so I'm heading out for golf to enjoy it!

24C is a deep freeze these days, RobW ... :shock:

I'll give you our 31-34C / 40-46C humidex for your balmy 24C any day ... :shifty:

7km done with the puppy. The heat is finally here!

tinyterror · Postby **tinyterror** » Fri Jul 06, 2012 1:19 pm

After running myself nauseous at 6:00 yesterday morning today was a good rest day! And good for a first-thing-in-the-morning job interview! Taking it easy today; hopefully back out before it gets too hot tomorrow.

After double run yesterday, today is definite rest day. Spending wandering the folk festival, interrupted by periodic dance tempo sessions when the music warrants

BJH · Postby **BJH** » Fri Jul 06, 2012 2:46 pm

7k run to work this morning. It was already too warm. But not quite as warm as when I ran home last night.

I haven't been sleeping well. I need to fix that.

Good. Because I had a burger today for lunch. With Brie.
