I had good intentions of doing something this morning, but I had an exhausting day yesterday, and woke up early and had trouble getting back to sleep. So I got up, had breakfast and coffee, and went back to bed for an hour.

Hopefully I'll do something tonight - or maybe not.

Finally broke the 'lazy Monday' streak of just not getting out there. Did a tough 17K long run with 2x2K at race pace yesterday that has me thinking my goal is a little bit aggressive for Ottawa. So this morning was just a very slow recovery 5K

A relatively easy day for me- I will be going to the first swim class of the new session (first of 9 weeks) but nothing else today.

Fresh snow yesterday, -17 this morning. Too depressed about the lack of spring to run...

-14 here this morning, depressing. Tonight first night of 12 weeks of registered spin. Will get to the gym 45 minutes prior to do strength and core and get a good warm up on the bike.

I run because it's my passion, and not just a sport. Every time I walk out the door, I know why I'm going where I'm going and I'm already focused on that special place where I find my peace and solitude. Running, to me, is more than just a physical exercise...it's a consistent reward for victory!

Had a wonderful 18 km run in the sunshine on Saturday morning, a rest day yesterday, and an easy half hour or so of running on the indoor track this morning. Followed by upper body weights. Today's run was just to keep my legs loose so I didn't bring my lap counter or otherwise try to keep track of the distance. Based on perceived effort, I'm guessing more than 5 km but less than 6 km.

Have a great day, everyone :)

So far today I've managed a 30 min bike and a 20 min swim. I will take a longer route home for a more serious bike ride.

Looking forward to the run home from work tonight! I brought capris and just one long sleeved shirt, and that should suffice! First time in capris this year (outside)!

I had a glorious spring-time run today, the first really nice run of the season, it seems: 7k with no wind and lots of sunshine. :D
