11K done this morning- 2km on roads, then 7K on trails, then 2more road kms to get home. Another lovely morning out there.

In other news, Mrs McD & I celebrate our 16th anniversary today- hard to believe I've been married that long!

I meant to get up and ride my bike to work, really I did.

My bed was all comfy. I turned off the alarm.

I had nine hours of glorious sleep. Nine hours!

Sulphur Springs starts early tomorrow and the rest of the weekend is pretty busy.

Today will be a rest day.

As I'm trying to adjust to staying up later (in advance of my first round of night shift teaching next week), I went to bed later and got up later than usual. I have to say that I really don't like getting up late - and even worse - commuting at a later time! Ugh! I have stuff at the office to bring home so I couldn't ride my bike today.

I will likely go for a short run in the heat when I get home from work, just to shake the cobwebs out of my legs. I haven't been running much lately.

It's Friday! </operatic chime>

Rest day before driving down to Calgary tomorrow!

ETA: My brain has apparently beaten me to Calgary, as I have sent two different dockets to my group, CC'ing my boss (of course), asking for a due-date of Sunday afternoon. :P

I know you need to have the odd bad run to know what the good ones feel like but today's run sucked. 15km of pure hell. It was just a hard run. Plus my calf cramped up at 13km so the last 2 were painful. Oh well the next one will be better.
