Running Mania

Wow, am I starting the daily thread?

Hard-fought 5k today, on legs still sluggish from the half last weekend.

Nice easy 53min with MrsStrider on the soft muddy trails in the light misty rain with the wet green leaves hanging all about. Practically perfect in every way.

Steady 12km this morning is cool, overcast, slightly windy conditions. Seemed to be perfect running conditions during my run because it felt so great to be running this morning. Love days like this! Now off to do some fun shopping with my daughter today!

new here...introduced myself under member profiles.
13 Km run @ 6 AM, then some walking & gardening done.

Welcome OLRunner.

Just an easy 8k today. Now heading out for golf.

9k done this morning, 6k of that at around 4:45ish pace.

2 lacrosse games to coach today, always fun.

16.5 done, a bit short of planned 17 but it's done. Oh, my aching hips. Dragon boat races should be fun this afternoon, I'm going to need someone to pry me out of the boat

Mount Albert Sports Day 5K with Amelia this morning. A cool windy start and rained on us for a little while. She did awesome...her first 5K race....ran in 31:48. She ran the whole time, on pace and finished strong and didn't complain once...best part, she enjoyed it! Very proud of her!

Just over 7 km for me this afternoon. First marathon pace run for me since last Sunday.

That's fantastic!! Good for her.

Welcome OLRunner! Congratulations to Amelia!

Started the marathon training cycle. 17 k in 26C sunshine, lots of sweat.

7.5K in the rain with groin and hamstring making voices.

I'm meant to be pacing a girl for the third quarter of the vancouver 100 today... but I just got a text from support crew that she is behind schedule, slowing down, and feeling rough. :/ awaiting word before I leave my house, in case she drops (I hope she doesn't--she was so excited about this!).

Way to go Amelia! Can't wait to read her race report!

I am going for a short run, once I drag myself out of Timothy's World Coffee here in Charlottetown.

I don't think I'm going to Loops for the Troops tomorrow. :/ Sweetie's eye appointment is at 10 a.m. tomorrow, and the race starts at 9 a.m. As we live 30 minutes from the clinic, the timing just doesn't work. Durnit.

71k on the bike in 2:36. Longest ride in 9 years.

Got 9.6kms done late in the afternoon at a brisk 5:17/km. Probably should have gone slower but it felt pretty good throughout. Lots of branches down from yesterday's wind in one of the parks I ran through.

In niagara falls after a very busy day! Best swag bag ever. That's right .. A bottle of merlot!

Sounds awesome!

Did 16km+ today. The first 12 with my boy . His longest run ever! Came home to the stray cat calling our deck home having kittens. Full day!

well she did NOT drop, and I did my leg with her. It took a ridiculously long time (farrrrr longer than it should have!) and I was impressed to see that she was ready to continue to the last 25km leg with a new pacer (our own heliotrope). I was glad I only did 25km because I was freezing and soaked and hungry.

Thanks, RobW

It is harder than Regina for sure but it isn't exactly a hill-fest either - this is Saskatchewan after all. Hope you had a good day!
