Finally at 6 I got up, and I decided to take advantage of the facts that a) it was no longer raining and b) it was probably the coolest part of the day till after sundown, and so I got out for a bit over 5km. Amazingly, it made my stomach feel WAY better!! The beach was wet but there was very little if any damage from last night's storm. I can't believe the DVP is already open!Tropical Tuesday!

Tropical Tuesday!
I woke up at 4am today because of my cats (bless their little hearts... lol) and stayed awake with some wicked heartburn. Finally at 6 I got up, and I decided to take advantage of the facts that a) it was no longer raining and b) it was probably the coolest part of the day till after sundown, and so I got out for a bit over 5km. Amazingly, it made my stomach feel WAY better!! The beach was wet but there was very little if any damage from last night's storm. I can't believe the DVP is already open!

Re: Tropical Tuesday!
I woke up to unexpected sunshine, so I hurried my routine so I could walk to work instead of transit. I'm aiming to go to yoga at lunch as well.
Glad you got a run in, QC, and that it helped the stomach!

Re: Tropical Tuesday!
Did 13.5k this morning. Plan was for 10 x 500m, but I started to get a worrying twinge in my hip and glute after my 6th rep so I called it quits and jogged the rest of the way home.
Keep on rolling, just a mile to go. Keep on rolling my old buddy, you're moving much too slow.
Re: Tropical Tuesday!
Much cooler here today, only about 17 when I started running, but 100% humidity (light drizzle at the end of my run). I did 10K as 5K easy, 3K tempo (which was a slog at the beginning!), 2K easy.
(p.s. have I mentioned how much I hate the word "drizzle"?)

I'm sure the people in Toronto has the same sentiments towards the words "flash storm" this morning ....

Morning!
I did Tracy Anderson's DVD last night and legs are a bit sore. I am doing a mix of BIXI and car as commute today. So about 1h15 on the (heavy) bike.
Have a great day

Re: Tropical Tuesday!
Wow, so much rain last night and more expected today (although I fervently hope and pray no more severe thunderstorms). Met my running buddy and we did just short of 13 km. Despite the humidity, it was a pretty nice morning for a summer run - cloudy and not too hot, at least at the start. Have a good day, everyone.

Strider - are the shoes for you? if so, enjoy!
Swim day for me - 2200 m done. Could have gone longer, but I was feeling some serious swim rage - 9 in the lane, some of whom had no concept of lane etiquette.

Re: Tropical Tuesday!
Packed and waiting to meet the above commenting Strider with a pair of Hoka's at lunch then off to the airport for a 1 day trip to lovely Warren, MI. The hotel seems to have a TM so I'll hop on that for a few k tonight.
Hoping the flood of people delayed in YOW due to Toronto's storms are gone by the time I get there. I heard they had cots out for delayed or diverted passengers last night as the hotels were full, ugh spending the night on a cot in an airport, I feel for them. Hope you guys are getting pumped out and dried up in the Big Smoke.

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!

Re: Tropical Tuesday!
Another muggy run today. You'd think I'd be getting used to it, but it still feels like hard work. 7.75k in the park, with one deer sighting.

Got a run in before work this morning. It wasn't long but it was nice to start the day that way. 3km in the sunshine.

Re: Tropical Tuesday!
6.5 miles outside tonight!
Re: Tropical Tuesday!
7x1K threshold @ 3:43 + WU/CD for 16K with 7 pounds sweated off. By my calculation, that works out to about 20 beers for recovery.
Re: Tropical Tuesday!
5 x 1k intervals along the gravel trail for a total of 14k. Happy with this run.
Re: Tropical Tuesday!
I had a good 10km run in just over 59 minutes. My legs felt pretty good.

Yeah, I'm really hoping once we're in the new house it will be better. I think they are a) stir-crazy because we were house sitting last week in a 2500 square foot house, b) a bit confused because of all the boxes- SOMETHING is going on, and c) thinking "OMG scratching posts EVERYWHERE!!". I've covered many of them with sheets and blankets for tonight. I had a 2 hour nap this afternoon... hope that doesn't bite me in the butt tonight!!
