Running Mania

Happy New Year!
Looking for 3-5km after lunch sometime!

Beautiful morning for an easy 11K on icy trails, no problems from the calf strain.

Break day for me, happy 2013 everyone!

14.9km on a beautiful moonlit morning run around Glenmore/Weaselhead in Calgary.

So far my 2013 training is 100% on plan

Happy New Year to all.

What a better way to break in the New Year, than with great running partners, longest run in 2 months for me this morning 10.4K / 1:09:xx under sunny and cold / blistering winter wonderland -17C / -23C windchill ... Thanks again for the company, Jes and AndyM ...

It's going to be 10K in thick fog this morning! I hope I don't get lost out there
Looking forward to starting off the year with a great run.

About 7km this morning - no headphones, no watch, just enjoying the sunshine (and watching out for ice). Stunning down by Lake Ontario - a whole landscape in white and blue and black.

10K outside for me today. Was supposed to run farther but my legs were tired and I was hungry! Happy New Year.

nice and easy 16km in the bright sunshine. felt good to get outside even if it was a bit windy.

3K run/walk for me this morning. Happy new year Maniacs!

Being the cold weather wimp I am, i did a 4K interval run on the treadmill.

Happy 2013 everyone!!!

It's a GORGEOUS sunny day here in the COTU. Perfect running weather for the Hair of the Dog 9K race at noon. I've done it most years for the last 10 years or so. Today was my second-fastest time, 49:42 for a 5:31/km pace. The footing was dodgy at times, but overall the conditions were great.

8k on this sunny new year day. Days are nearing for Goofy. I'm ready for him...he better be ready for me!!

Happy New Year!

10k done in the refreshing cool air.

Happy New Year everyone! Snuck out for a nice, gentle run with some good friends this morning - a perfect way to start 2013. I also just registered for the Toronto Goodlife Marathon in May - VERY excited about this. I haven't run a marathon since Boston 2011. I'm way overdue for 26.2. Training begins soon - can't wait .

Well back from Cuba with a nice tan and what feels like 1/2 my liver.

Managed to get 5 runs in during the trip, and got out for a nice 11.5k today although wow there's alot of snow in Ottawa now. My normal neighborhood route needed to be rerouted as some of the short paths I cut through to get into different subdivisions now need snow shoes, not runners. I miss the sun!!!

Happy New Year RM'ers.

8k Resolution Run on trail in Crescent Park. A very crisp morning, at least we had the sun shining through the trees - drove through several banks of fog on my way over to the park. Been a couple of years since I`ve done this event - a good start to the new year (`specially since I put my money down for Vancouver yesterday).

Happy 2013!

That's funny, I had almost exactly this thought at the end of my run! I had a great 11k this afternoon- it was beautiful out and there was this bright thing in the sky that made everything all bright and shiny... weird. I ran quite a bit faster than I thought I would... I accidentally killed my iPod today and I was really pissed off. The run helped put things into perspective, though, and now I'm ok with it. If it works again, great, if not, I can use my phone if I am dying for music. The world keeps turning.

Rest day BUT I did do a Polar Bear swim this morning with my run club. BRRRR!!! But I did it!

Was planning on doing a long run this afternoon, but I ended up spending 4 hours sledding and building a massive snow cave with my boys. We'll call it cross training, and even better, that was an afternoon my sons won't soon forget.

New plan is to get up early tomorrow morning so I can get 1 more run in here in the hills of Pennsylvania before we drive home tomorrow.

Sunny, 0C, super windy. Nice easy 10k to start the new year!

And another 6k tonight on the TM.

A beautiful 7K run through the sunny hard packed snow trails in my local park along the creek. Thank god for Yak Traks!!

Happy New Year to one and all.
