Canada Day Wednesday
Canada Day Wednesday
Happy Canada Day everyone! Decided to get my run in early today so I could spend the rest of the day concentrating on the celebrations! 10.3 miles in the trails at Gatineau Park. I was the only one out there!
Re: Canada Day Wednesday
8K for me this morning. Almost got bit by a charging dog that wasn't on a leash and then later lost my iPod while trying to dislodge 3 pounds of rain, humidity and sweat from my jacket, LOL. Oh well, not a bad way to start the day
Re: Canada Day Wednesday
16k done early. Headed off to the athletes village for a day of getting ready to welcome 6000 athletes starting this weekend
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.

10 miles outside for me today! Happy Canada Day.
Re: Canada Day Wednesday
6k walk to start the day. I didn't want to wait for breakfast to digest before running. Maybe another later.

Re: Canada Day Wednesday
Happy Canada Day all! Starting to feel like a "real" runner again. Just did my week 4 day 3, couch to 5K run in what turned to be the teaming rain that started about 3 minutes after I went out the door. Now sitting here with fingers crossed that things will clear in time for fireworks. Oh well, at least in Quebec the weather is apolitical! It poured on St. Jean Baptiste Day and is now pouring on Canada Day!.

Re: Canada Day Wednesday
First run in 24 days (not including the run I attempted a week later but stopped after 1k) since I fell and got banged up on my run on June 7th. No complaints from the toe and an ever-so-slight reminder from my ribs to ease back into it. Overall, the body responded really well to the 4k so I'm happy.

Re: Canada Day Wednesday
6 km and change with C in the stroller - rainy-ish. We played count the Canada flags. She's been begging for a stroller run this week, so sad every time I go out early before she gets up.

Re: Canada Day Wednesday
10K "race" in my hometown, ran it as a tempo run and finished 5+ minutes ahead of the field. Now spending the day drinking beer with my mother. (Don't judge me.)
Re: Canada Day Wednesday
7.8 km to the pool, and then a lovely swim, followed by lunch! Ah, Canada Day. This year it's a one-day weekend in between two two-day weeks. I can deal with that.
