Keep on rolling, just a mile to go. Keep on rolling my old buddy, you're moving much too slow.
Re: Wednesday - are we there yet?
I went to my 6 am swim (blah!) and have a 12k moderate paced run tonight with my friends Rachel, Nicole and Sean. Where are you, long weekend?

Re: Wednesday - are we there yet?
My first day of the 'conditioning' phase as the gym this morning.
Work out was:
10 deadlifts
20 sec plank
6 overhead press (two kettlebells)
6 bent over rows (wide stance, deadlift position)
these were done in one minute intervals (any time left after carrying out the exercise was rest time)

Re: Wednesday - are we there yet?
10K on Treadmill last night and 6.5K planned for tonight. I have a doctor's appointment after work so it may be a later than usual run for me (and they are already pretty late).
Happy Hump Day!

Re: Wednesday - are we there yet?
Rest day for me today. Cold is trying to come back grrrrrrr. I refuse to let it! I am working with a local fitness trainer to set up a dog / owner boot camp June - August. She wants to run it 3 mornings a week. We'd co lead (she'll address the fitness stuff, I'll address the dog training stuff). That will keep me busy early in the day through summer! We are trying to come up with a name. She suggested Muttcamp. Anyone have any ideas let me know!

Re: Wednesday - are we there yet?
5km walk this morning, and another 5km on tap this afternoon, taking DS to/from school (about 2.5km each way), since he wanted to ride his bike. He's 4 and on training wheels, so it took a good 40 minutes to get there, anticipating similar coming home - so better exercise for him than it is for me, but it's a beautiful day. A few hours of yardwork on tap in between.

I think my ankle is definitely sprained, hurts like heck and can hardly walk on it. Tonight will do some weights and ab work...

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: Wednesday - are we there yet?
I was in Banff, skiing, on the weekend and I'm still a bit tired forma travel heavy month. But speedwork got done last night and I ran the 7k to work this morning,
Now that ski season is over, its time to get the mileage back up (and the bikes out).

9 km and change this morning - first 6 km with the stroller + baby (the looooong way to daycare) and the rest with an empty stroller heading home after drop-off. Much quicker with the lightened load!

Re: Wednesday - are we there yet?
Just shy of 8K (7.99 after correcting the Garmin track) at a 6:29 pace. Beautiful, mostly clear, sunny day at the beach. The water was the most ridiculous, unreal turquoise colour -- and me without my camera. Not sure where the wind was coming from, but it felt like I was running into a headwind no matter which direction I was going. And the climb back up to Kingston Road was pretty tough.
5K tomorrow and a 'rest' on Friday.
