Muggy Sunday
Muggy Sunday
13 km done; I had no energy what so ever. It's hot and humid out here which I am sure did not help.
Re: Muggy Sunday
11 km on a very muggy morning.
Ran around RMC point...up Fort Henry Hill...around the base and back downtown.
I love this route

Re: Muggy Sunday
Lovely day for 16 km along the lake shore! Bands of fog kept it cool and refreshing.
Congrats to everyone who ran the Sporting Life 10k today. One thing, though. I'm sure that the people who need to read this aren't on this forum, and the people on this forum know this already, but… when you're heading back to your car or bus after a race, in groups of family and friends, and you cross a multi-purpose trail such as the Martin Goodman Trail, be mindful. Look both ways. Make sure you're not stepping right in front of a runner or cyclist. Make sure your family isn't blocking the whole width of the trail for several seconds.
I shouldn't have to say this. These people were just running! It's a 10k race, so nearly everyone who does it has been out running some, eh? And yet there were bunches of people just strolling slowly across the Martin Goodman without so much as looking to see if they're stepping in the way of someone. I managed to get around them all, but there were some bicyclists who really had a rough time from it.

Re: Muggy Sunday
Swim group for me this morning. I was a bit worried I would get calf cramping because I did the Grouse Grind yesterday (first time this year ) , but I was ok.

Re: Muggy Sunday
11k super early, then we and the in-laws took the dogs to Pawsway for breakfast and a walk along the waterfront
It's not the size of the dog in the fight...it's the size of the fight in the dog! 11K Marker post - 2010 ATB.

Re: Muggy Sunday
After 10 years living in this town, I finally found the fabled "southern passage" on the trail system that gets all the way to a nearby river. A little further than I wanted to run unsupported, but the joy of exploration reminded me of my early days of running. 24K done.
