This is about a 3 minute PB for me as well. Very happy with this result. Ran a 4:56/km pace for 16K then dropped to 4:57/KM at 17K then stopped checking the watch after that.

Well done!!

We did 16k in 1:37, but the pace felt much tougher than the numbers show. The plan was to start on the easy side and then build a bit in the last 5-6k. We did pick it just a bit, but it never really felt easy. Still- a great run overall- so glad to be able to do longish runs again with Rob.

I'm hoping next weeks race will feel better at a slightly faster pace when I'm better rested, better hydrated (a bit too much beer last night!), and in cooler weather.

Mental-toughening 32K in the rain around the school track at about 4:30/K. A bit of ammonia smell (protein burning) at the end let me know that it was a good time to stop.

At least you didn't have to shovel it first!

No run today, bike ride instead. Like La said, she's a wee bit sticky and humid here in the Big Smoke.

It should feel easier in the race since we're starting 2 hours before and there's beer waiting after.

I have 2 more days before I can officially start training again. I might try the treadmill tomorrow afternoon, to see how I feel.
