Well done Lisa -- now rest up and recover -- you're not done racing yet!

A little windy in Ottawa this a.m. -- nothing like yesterday though!

I'll be heading down to RunClub at the RR tonight -- looking for 10 km.

Sounds like you to some lessons from Marathon # 2 -- can't wait to hear when the training starts for # 3!!

Today is a rest day from running, so I only have Yoga on tap after work!

Had a blast as the 55 min bunny at the Nine Run Run 10km this morning --- this is a really nice small event...... ran into Andy and AndyM, so that was a nice bonus!

Normally, I don't work Friday's, but this is the last day for 90% of our staff today (our office is closing down). So lots of HR/payroll stuff to do, and then a farewell lunch. Come Monday, there will be 4 of us left in the office to "close it all down for good"! :( are you being place so...

You ran a most spectacular race, with amazing results! When I first saw your results on FB, I thought to myself "How does she do this with all that is going on in her life?", but having read your post here, I now understand that you MUST do this because of all that is going on in your life...

Having met you, I am absolutely not surprised that you opened up your home to a fellow runner!! Nevertheless, it is absolutely cool, and your karma jar is overflowing!! :D Well done on the pacing front as well (and taking on the task of recruiting fellow pacers) -- hope to be among them in PEC some ...

Yep, Day 2 is worse than Day 1 -- but I don't mind DOMS -- it confirms that I worked hard!

I will be swimming tonight, and look forward to it as it usually helps with the hips and glutes!!

Well done Strider -- great effort by your Team!!

Yep, DOMS here too! Rest day today and tomorrow!

AND hydration!!

Had a great meeting with my Coach at 6:00 a.m. -- she gave me my final "orders" for the marathon this weekend. Groceries are also done. And breakfast too! And it's only 7:45!! Heading out shortly to meet some friends for a final 4 km "shake out" run, and then breakfast (yep, a 2n...

My pupils, on the other hand were well worked out by the end of it. My pupils also got a good workout this morning: 14K in the dark. It took me two reads of Lisa's post to realize that by "pupils" she meant students and not eyes. :lol: And I read that her pupils (eyes) had gotten a workou...

End the month as healthy as I started it, only race-ready.

522km with 12 speed sessions, still healthy... guess we'll see in a couple of weeks if that adds up to race ready!

NICE! Good Luck!

8 km tempo for me tonight, and a swim...... than one more little "shake out" run tomorrow, and then race on Sunday! Looks like it's going to be another race weekend on RM!

Thanks for posting your experience UltraQueenga -- sorry to hear you are sidelined, and I really hope that your are able to come back to what you really love! I also asked myself where the "tipping point" was, so I will stick with 2 100-milers for next year (Sulphur and Haliburton), and be...

It's already been a pretty tough week at work, so REALLY glad it's Wednesday -- we're half way there!!

I've got a 12 km run scheduled for tonight, and I'm going to take it along the river and enjoy the changing colours and the calmness of the water...... yep, that'll be good!!

Have a great day!

There will be some swimming after work -- first I need to get through today -- our office is closing it's doors on Oct 18th, so lots of sad people around here!

I have a marathon at the beginning of the month, and the rest of the month will be recovery and just running for fun -- no structure!! Coach said "no more than 4 runs per week"...... There will be 3 swims per week, and I will be getting back to the gym to re-introduce a weight lifting/stre...

Rest day -- going for acupuncture after work (body maintenance) -- tapering sucks!!!

Should be around 250km of running (the last week of Sept will be tapering), 250 km of cycling (one week cycling vacation), and close to a dozen swims as coached swimming is back on! Run - 248.6 km -- so pretty close :D Cycle - 180 km in 3 rides -- happy with that Swim - 10 swims Had fun -- and an a...

Happy racing!!

I am off to speak at a clinic at the RR, and then I will be running in the sunshine for 30 km...... Another great day!
