Keep on rolling, just a mile to go. Keep on rolling my old buddy, you're moving much too slow.

Not sure about the rest but I am busy blowing my nose
Hate summer colds! It appears to be not too bad and maybe even going away though so got out for a short run - real short! Even though I am feeling better the cold was just enough to make breathing right miserable. Ended up with all of 2K. Oh well better then 0 - K. I have agility later today and then a photo shoot with Miss Hannah which I think is going to require some hiking out into the bush. Hopefully I won't be too tired and that will get a bit more of a workout in for the day.

Rest up and feel better Jane!
I had a lovely walk to work this morning - not too hot when I was out there yet. Today is bound to be a scorcher! Tonight, a run/hike in Gatineau Park
Have a great day everyone!

I was up, running to work (5k) and then at the gym for a strength workout. Then I was surfing the net...

Re: Getting a late start to Thursday!
I biked to work today. The plan for tonight is an interval bike workout, but I'm meeting my cousin at some point, so not sure when/if that will get done.

Re: Getting a late start to Thursday!
I'm going to take a few days off. Wore my last pair of shoes too long (I believe) and got a little bit of PF in my foot (not chronic and pretty much healed up). Switching shoes entirely and going to rest up to make sure they get a fair shake when I test them out, so will get back at it on Monday!

Getting a late start to Thursday!
No run for me today, going to volunteer this evening at Giro di Burnaby - criterium bike race. Lots of bikes going really fast on 1.3 km street loop
They used to have Ferrari's as pace cars but they've shortened the course and put in a 180 degree turn so I'm assuming no cars on the course this year.

Re: Getting a late start to Thursday!
Not a late start for me...an early start instead! I have a busy weekend coming up, so I got my weekly long-ish run in this morning instead. 12 km done, and everyone was still asleep when I got home.
I think I'll try and do this again in the future, especially on weekends when we're going up to the cottage and I'd rather not do a long run. I should be able to easily fit in 15 km, which isn't bad for an every other week sort of long run for half training.

Re: Getting a late start to Thursday!
I'm up to 30 minutes cotinuous running on the indoor track as of today. I think I'm healed up enough to take it back outside starting tomorrow. Looking forward to running in the park again.

Re: Getting a late start to Thursday!
Usual early start to the day for me, but a late check-in to the thread, ha ha. As it turned out, I didn't go to Runpub last night so running in the morning was a good call. An emergency came into our vet shortly before our cat's appointment, so they were running quite late. (Don't know what the emergency was, but there was a whole family there looking very upset, felt so bad for them). This morning was no cardio at all, which is pretty unusual, but I used the extra time for some additional weights and stretches instead.
Work is getting busy so I'm going to need those de-stressing morning runs in the next few weeks!

Getting a late start to Thursday!
Another 1 hour bike & 30 min run afterward. Very hot but bearable. Absolutely no foot pain from yesterday or today!

6km for me at 6am this morning in beautiful rural Ottawa. Comfortable 6:40/km pace.

Re: Getting a late start to Thursday!
I had intended to do my run this morning, but one thing led to another, and I gleefully hit the snooze alarm a few times.
I did about 5km at lunch, and in deference to the warm sun, I took more walk breaks than usual. I also was very glad to have a bottle of water with me!

5 miles of trails/gravel... The trail sections are shaded but the gravel sections are not, so I was completely drenched in sweat by the end. I love summer!!

Re: Getting a late start to Thursday!
I got a nice hilly 9km in , but I am getting to the point this summer, I think I am going to have to start setting the alarm for EARLY and run. The heat and sun is just too much for a quality run in.
Just dreading it, b/c I have a toddler who loves to cuddle at 2, 3 or 4 (sometimes all 3) in the morning!

Re: Getting a late start to Thursday!
Decided to take a rest day tomorrow so I added a little more to the run today. 16k with a forced slower pace along the crushed gravel path along the Bay. My legs aren't feeling the way they should so early in the cycle so I'm trying to be careful.
