Smiling Sunday!

Postby JoaniB » Sun Jul 29, 2012 7:46 am

It's only because of the Running Room that I'm up early enough to start the Sunday thread.

It'll be a nice 18k in the River Valley of Edmonton - the weather seems pretty much picture perfect, and I am looking forward to running with people again!
Ottawa Race Weekend 10k (2009): 1h07m; Army Half-marathon (2009): 2h38m; St. Patrick's Day 5k (2010): 33m; Ottawa Race Weekend Half-marathon (2010): 2h28m (getting better!); St. Patrick's Day 10k (2011): 1h13m (or not); Calgary 10k (2012): 1h06m (new PB!); Canadian Derby Half-marathon (2012): 2h17m (PB!)

Started the day up early at 4:30 am to take my daughter to the Airport. She's off to Newfoundland to see her dad for 2 weeks :( . I will be taking advantage of my free time with some mountain biking later up at Hardwood Hills :D

Great day out there!!

Well I'm off to spend some "quality" time with my foam roller ! ;)

Yay! 32K done! at 6:16 m/k pace.

Pretty happy with that, especially since I had a 2 minute negative split! It felt harder in the second half, but I managed to pick up the pace a bit. Oh ... I could have picked a less hillly route. :? Oh well. I managed them!

Have a great day!

Did the "I Ran Gan" 10km as a training run (longest run I've done since last October :D )
It was hot and a bit brutal...my dental surgery under sedation on Friday took more stuffing out of me than I had planned for :? .

BUT....glad I ran this course as one of my main reasons for doing this was so I could post an Event Review.

And yep...this gets thumbs up from me...stay tuned for the review :D

Cool. 8)

I'm also smiling this Sunday. I also got in a "long run" (well, my longest in a while ;) ). After a 20-minute bike warmup, I ran (3-and-1s) for 30 minutes. Happy to get to this milestone pain-free. :)

I did a 32k loop around Richmond today. The cold Gatorade waiting for me in the car tasted so good!

But with a few hills. So 130km in Victoria will give me the saddle time I need. That ride is going to kill me.
