Sunday to run and say Happy Mother's Day

Rainfall warning here. I don't think I want to do my long run that badly, so I may skip it. Two hours in the rain when I'm not yet training for anything seems unnecessary. :-)

Happy Mother's Day to all the moms and mom types out there!

Happy Mother's Day to all the Moms -- enjoy your special day!!

Rest day here -- woohoo -- more time for Mother's Day celebrations: Brunch with my Mom and sisters, and then dinner with Hubby's Mom.....

Despite a rainfall warning, it stayed dry long enough for a muggy 24K along next weekend's race route.

First run post marathon, 6.7k outside, where we got blasted with some hail!

I chanced the weather and got 14k done before the rain. Glad I didn't wimp out after all.

I would like to go back to bed but this is only my second Sunday back with the group since the Sun Run clinic ended so I guess I'll drag myself out. It will be a slow 8 - 10 k.

Ran into a small group from Queens park running club early into my run today, did 13k with them.

Happy Mother's Day!

I just finished a 15k run. Felt really good! First time in a while I've gone that far.

Happy Mother's Day to all the Maniac mothers.

11k for me - first double digit run since Eugene :oops:

I've been a little lazy! Got to do one of my favourite routes, only recently reopened for the summer. Now a lazy afternoon out with the Hamsters and DH.

Celebrated Mothers' Day by getting to sleep in before my run - 20k while DH took DS to swimming. A little rain, a little sun, a LOT of wind, but made it back to my own porch about 30 seconds before the hail started.

My mom is in Madrid today! Haven't spent a mother's day with her since my parents retired, they're always in Europe! The no running thing is starting to get to me... got on the bike but didn't feel the love.

10K trail loop for me and man alive, did it ever feel great! I was reading the trail perfectly. I had a good pace going on the access roads and parts of the trail where I could and when I had to slow down because of the terrain, I still felt very much in control. Everything just came together out there today and each segment of the run just flowed perfectly into each other.

Awesome run today. Yesterday I did 21k of hill repeats in Gatineau. I felt pretty good afterwards, but expected some soreness today. Today I started at the Quary Trail across from the Eagleson Mall, with some fine google mapping I managed to map out a 30k (15k out and back) that ended at the parking long at P11 on HuntClub. I came up 800m short when I hit P11 so I just tacked on some across Huntclub to hit the 15k mark.

A bit windy and cool for May 12, but a beautiful day and a very enjoyable run. Much like NMG it just felt right today.

Last long one before Sulphur...I feel ready and anxious to get started.

Just over 20 km for me this morning with the first 11 at race pace. Only 2 weeks now until the Ottawa Marathon!

I wanted to watch The Players Championship so I ran 26k on the treadmill instead of outside. Longest run to date on the TM so it was mentally hard after the halfway point.

Nice run, Rob!

As for me, no run today. I'm enjoying my recovery (maybe a bit too much). Had lots of fun dancing & acting silly at a friend's 50th (Oh my!) last night and enjoyed a lazy Mother's Day morning. We went to the cottage & swept up flies, had ice cream for lunch & lobster for supper! Fun day - if only I could live like that forever

Happy Mother's Day!

Thanks, Allie. Enjoy your recovery and your Mother's Day!

8k Mother's day race. My sweet girl and I both placed 3rd in our age categories.

runfbrun · Postby **runfbrun** » Mon May 13, 2013 12:32 pm

Did a slow 8k. Farthest I have run in over a year, so I was pretty pleased. Did it at 7:45/km. Didn't push myself. Felt easy and good.
