Steamy Monday

Postby erinmcd » Mon Jun 24, 2013 6:58 am

Good morning all!

Kicked off my fall marathon training program with a nice & easy 8km down to Presqu'ile Park. Already 23° when I headed out at 5:15am.
Keep on rolling, just a mile to go. Keep on rolling my old buddy, you're moving much too slow.

A very easy recovery 8K with a few strides thrown in to remind the legs how to move fast. It was hot already @ 5:30!

50 min spin class this morning. Had no desire to be there today. Must be the humidity....

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!

It's a muggy holiday here in Québec. Ran 5+k in the heat, in prep for my 10k on Saturday. Chugged along, but I am getting acclimated.

Got caught in a rain shower on my way back from doing a couple of errands at lunch! Didn't look like it was going to rain, but within 15 minutes... Anyway, a few low activity days for me. Saturday I ran an easy 7.5 km with QC and that evening did core work and upper body weights. I had planned to get up early Sunday and go for a long run of between 21 and 25 km, but woke feeling kind of under the weather and slept for a while longer. By the time I was up, it was way too hot and humid, and although I thought about going to the gym and doing even just 10 km on the TM, in the end it was a rest day. Still felt a little "blah" this morning so skipped the gym. Tonight after work I have belly dance class, and I'll do some core/weights at home. Unless the hockey game tonight goes ridiculously late, should be on track tomorrow.

Hoping all the Alberta maniacs are safe and their homes have not been flooded.

Decent day here in Cochrane, where I'm visiting my parents. The paths by the river aren't open – some of them are still under the river. But at least the town is all well above water. I managed a nice 6.something km on some decent hills.

grouse grind today... very slowly. I've been dragging for the past few days and thought this would help, but it definitely did not. I felt dizzy and nauseated for most of it. :/ may have that bug that's going around... hope not!
