Racing SATURDAY

[Habs4ever]

I'm up early to drive 1.75 hours to race (hopefully) for under 2 hours, then drive back 1.75 hours.
I'm tired.

Have a great day Maniacs.

Up early to try to get my run in before temperatures hit the melting point. It was 20C at 5:15AM and that was without humidex! Had a lovely coughing fit thanks to my cold just before heading out. Coughed till tears ran down my face and I thought I'd throw up. Grabbed a jar of honey and ate it by the spoonful to stop the coughing (it worked). Headed out anyway. Stayed close to home for the first 3K and was ok so headed out to the country roads. At 7K heard a noise and looked over my shoulder to see a hot air balloon. It is "Lift Off' balloon festival in the city and from KM's 7 - 11 I had hot air balloons drifting overhead or on the horizon the whole time. Add in the country roads and no one else around and it made for a nice run and a great distraction from the heat. Lovely head wind for the final 6K of the run. Total just over 16K. Glad to be done! It's hot out there! It was 24C with 80% humidity by the time I got home. Hope to go see the dock dogs competition later this morning!

Good Luck Habs!

Today I got out early to beat the heat. Plan was for 12-16K at a moderate pace. It was already warm at 7am but I managed a peppy 16K in 5:49 m/k pace. Super happy with that considering the heat! I carried a bottle with me for a while, but stashed it and did some loops of the cemetery, so I made a couple of quick water stops.

Out for lunch with some friends!

Have a great day!

21K lsd run along the Trans Canada Trail with Jes and Beth this morning for a 6:30am start time .... It was already around 21C and finished up at about 27C by 9am ...

Think I will be hibernating in the safety of my confine w/AC while watching the TdF this morning ....

Good luck today Habs!

Got out for 22K this morning- down and around Presqu'ile Park, with a good chunk of it on trails. It's getting pretty hot out there already!

[Sandra]

a lovely morning and 16km done before 8am. Ready for a nap now...

[marymac442]

Plan calls for 20k today but Achilles/pf still whining so will do something shorter today and will see how that feels. Will do long run tomorrow if feet cooperate.

[RA.]

I hope your race went/is going well, Habs! I'm resting today. I'm racing 5k tomorrow.

[Jump145]

2.5k to loosen up a bit for tomorrows 5k.

[Dr. S]

I feel like a heat wuss. Didn't run yesterday and barely slept last night (again) so we weren't able to get up early... will have to figure out how to run in this crazy heat wave!!

[orleansrunner1962]

25 km done along the Canal this a.m. -- it was a warm one!!! Got to run with DLS for some of it -- what a nice treat!!

[chunkymonkeymelonhed]

6.4K done.

[scrumhalfgirl]

Six km with the family to kick off the birthday!

[VeloCarrie]

An hour on the bike. It was too hot out to go any longer. No run as I'm resting the foot today.

[ultraslacker]

5km in the sun. I love summer. :)

[Squints]

5 easy km's with my sister in law this morning! Was already 28 degrees at 9am!
I think I'll get out VERY early for my long run tomorrow.

12k for me in the sun

[Nicholas]

An hour on the bike and then coffee with my running group. At the end, my right calf completely cramped up making a left hand turn on a green filter in busy traffic.....

9km run on the Confederation Trail in Charlottetown in my trail shoes. I bought the Asics Trail Sensor 5.

On the way back from Regina. No running for me today but I did watch the Riders run over BC 23-20!
