Re: CK Cycle Fest Saturday!
25K for me this morning- attacked by mosquitoes, got good and muddy, and worked up a heck of a sweat. Mission accomplished.

Cautious Thursday
Very gentle hour of running on road and trail this morning. Hamstrings are still a bit tender after last weekend's trail race, and I've got a slight lower back twinge, so I'm taking it nice and easy for a couple of days.

2014 Great Adirondack Trail Run
As fun as it is to stand on the start line of a big city marathon with 30,000 other runners, there's nothing quite like a small trail race where you're told on the bus to the start line "if you die on the trail, we will come back to get your body, but probably not until later this afternoon aft...

Re: 161/204 Tuesday
Easy 10ish km for me this morning, mostly on trails. I'm in a bit of a mini taper- headed off to the Adirondacks tomorrow afternoon with my 13 y/o daughter for a couple days of backpacking, and then racing on Saturday- the Great Adirondack Trail Run.

Re: 160/205 Monday
Nothing too memorable for me this morning- my easy day standard loop around the trails in the local conservation area.
One exciting thing though is that this is the last session for my literacy tutoring before we take the summer off, so I'm excited to have my Monday evenings back!

Re: June Racing and Training
I should be somewhere around 280km I think- my schedule isn't too structured at the moment, so who know's exactly where it will end up. Got a race next weekend in Keene Valley NY- the Great Adirondack Trail Run. I did it last year and it was a lot of fun, so I'm really looking forward to doing it ag...

Re: 2015 BAA 5K
They said that the switch from Sunday to Saturday for this year was due to the marathon weekend also falling on Easter weekend, which doesn't happen next year. My guess is it would go back to Sunday.

Easy one for me too today. Headed down to Presqu'ile Prov Park and did a loop around the marsh boardwalk. Saw a raccoon, 2 deer, and an otter, which was pretty neat.

Re: Tapering Tuesday
Good workout for me this morning- headed up to my regular trails to do hill circuits- steady up, hard down, then a 3km tempo on the road on the way home.

Re: Fast Friday
More hills for me this morning (I have a very hilly trail race that I'm preparing for). I have an 800m circuit on my locals trails- an uphill with lots of roots and mud, and a couple of very steep sections, then a long downhill. I go moderately hard up the hill, then drop the hammer as soon as I com...

Re: Wow, it's Wednesday
Hill repeats for me this morning. Headed up to my usual trails and did the repeats on the slippery, rooty, steep hill at the back of the park.

Brent Run Canoe Race
That was easily the most exhausting 2 days of my life. Years ago I remember reading about 2 camp counsellors from a summer camp in Algonquin Provincial Park who had created a challenge to paddle from Canoe Lake (at the southern end of the park) to the Brent Store on Cedar Lake (at the northern end o...

No running for me today- I did the Brent Run Canoe race in Algonquin this weekend- 160km, finished in 41 hours. I'm beat. Don't we get a report for such an adventure? For sure!

Re: *sigh* Sportiva
I did a lot of my trail running last year in the Brooks Pure Grit and liked them a lot.
Now I'm using the Altra Lone Peak 1.5 and like them even more.
