Almost made 30 minutes continuous running today. Tired. Too much "cross training" with a garden spade and 10-kg sacks of compost over the weekend! :roll:

First, take our truck to the insurance adjuster - I managed to hit a grouse while driving our son out to Gimli to fly on Saturday (stupid bird decided to try to take off). It managed to bust our grill and smoosh our radiator a bit. I got DH to pull it out of the grill when I got home, as I really didn't feel like pulling a dead bird from the grill Image but now I have to get MPI to look at it (we have no deductable for wildlife collisions).

Then, drop a work laptop off to a housebound colleague (six weeks sick leave).

Will have to do my workout after the second errand (if there is time) or after work.

Hope everyone is having a great day!


For the record, a five'ish pound grouse can cause approximately $820.00 damage to a pickup truck!

Since I got to work through lunch instead of run, I'll be taking off a bit early & trying to run when I get home. For some reason it's always harder for me to run in the evening when the couch is there looking all comfy & the cat is trying to sit on my lap...

Ahhh I've done something like that.
Checked in at the gym, made small talk with the woman at the counter.
Went to change.
Changed.
realized I only had dress shoes. No running shoes.
Put my work clothes back on
left .... :oops:
When your legs get tired, run with your heart.

Overcome the notion that you must be regular. It robs you of your chance to be extraordinary.

10 K in the rain here, so I got wet.
next up:

One fine day
This blackbird's mute gonna sing again

So all you sinners come out
And all you drunkards crawl out
Come into the light of one fine day

First run on the TM in many months. Too busy at work to get out before it started getting dark and there are no lights on the bike paths and trails. Went home and fired up the TM (it was dark & raining outside by now)...it still works. Did a nice 13K with 3 times (400m at 4:00 pace, 400m at 8:00 pace) thrown in near the end.

6 hills hard.

I hear your pain Nick - its getting harder to squeeze workouts in before a rapidly advancing sunset.
