Thursday thread

Original title eh! :D

Dogs got me up at 5AM. Post ART today and I am sore! I have had shoulder issues on / off for months are really mucked it up on my fall so she is working it - ouch! My legs are getting better though and I joke that my leg is improving by inches as now it is just the hip area that has yet to fully release. So it is a good kind of sore.

Planning a 5K walk today with a few short easy jogs to see how the legs go. Will have four dogs with me. I am starting to feel like the dog whisperer.

Have a great day everyone!

Nice and relaxin' 6K run along the Canal with Marg this morning .... enough said !!! 8)

Almost gave Marg a heart attack this morning ... when, ironically, we were chatting about "not doing anything st*pid like falling, tripping, getting injured over the next few weeks during the taper ... " then all of a sudden I lost/missed a step going up the stairs to mini-hill/steps ... and, almost wiped out myself ... :shock: :shifty: :oops: :oops:

Have a great day everyone ....

A nice crisp morning for a ride. Thought I didn't dress warm enough but eventually got warmed up (although my feet never did). Tried to take it a bit easier this morning because I want to run along the canal at lunch.

Safe travels, La.

Have a great day everyone!

The maniacs are coming! the maniacs are coming!!

RA and I met up with Mike last night and we did about a 5k in 33min or so - took Ang up the curling club stairs, shared with her one of the calgary 'money shots', etc - then grabbed a bite to eat. Then did airport pick up #1 and got bruyere from YYC - delivered the girls to their hotel!

Tonight - will do a speed session on the treadmill after work and then head for airport pickup #2 - La and MiniT. Girls - red or white tonight?

I'm going to hit some soggy trails for a couple hours after the boy goes to school. It'll be my first run since last weekend's 50k.

Had a fantastic strength work out last night and feeling good today. Going to rest today and tomorrow for Saturday's 22km race at Melissa's. So excited!!!!!!! Today is also my Friday :) Can't wait to meet you maniacs in Banff!

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!

Done. 9.8km in total. Before heading out, I wasn't really in the mood for it but glad I went. I took it nice and slow (had to cut it back a few times to avoid going to quickly). I have a hard time controlling my speed when I run on the canal. I find with all the walkers / runners, I always want to run faster. Today I definitely didn't want to do that.

Did about an hour and a half. Stuck to pretty easy routes, threw in a couple sloggers for fun. I love rainy forest runs.

Out for a 7.2 km race walk practice today ( about 1/3 of the distance for the half-marathon walking race this coming Sunday). I did the same Tuesday. It will be interesting to see if I can maintain a pace of under 8:00 min/km for the entire half-marathon. so far so good. That will be my target!!

Have a good one y'all! :)
