World Running Day WEDNESDAY

Postby Spirit Unleashed » Wed Jun 03, 2015 8:10 am

I don't know if its a marketing gig for some or a real deal, but happy running day anyway.

I ran 3.6 miles and did elliptical for 15 min.

And a spectacular day it is for running here in the GTA to mark the occasion.

11K easy for me.

After two days in a row of cycling, today will be a run day. Distance/pace will be determined based on how my legs feel 24 hours after my big hill workout yesterday.

8K for me in the greenbelt. I almost broke my ankle as a 4 inch long garter snake decided to squirm away just as I was approaching it in mid stride, LOL.

7 miles on the trails with the puppy (more hiking than running, but a bit of both).

I had set out to recon a loop because a friend wants me to take him out there this weekend. But then there was a side trail that I hadn't explored before so... I ended up going in an entirely different direction. Learned some things though. I love exploring new-to-me networks because you do a section one day, do another section another day, and eventually see how they all tie in to each other and build a mental map. I love the "aha" moments, like today when I came across an intersection that I'd been to before from another direction (and that time I went the wrong way... today I figured out why!).

Headache now though, probably dehydrated. Rectifying that with coffee. :lol:

21.1 km with the stroller. Sometimes I get these crazy ideas and this was one of them! Wanted to do it before I went back to work but hadn't planned on doing it today. But, run was going well, baby was sleeping, and weather was great, so I kept going. :D
