Good morning from Vancouver!
My brother and I flew out yesterday to spend some time with my grandparents this week. Got out this morning for a little over an hour on the trails by their house- bush whacking, falling down, getting lost- good times!
Thanksgiving Monday!
Thanksgiving Monday!
Keep on rolling, just a mile to go. Keep on rolling my old buddy, you're moving much too slow.

Re: Thanksgiving Monday!
Nice day for 7.5k. Still not getting out enough; too busy, mainly. Exercise is leaving me feeling slightly woozy-headed – I'm wondering if I've gone slightly anemic. I had a problem with that 20 years ago. But I wasn't eating as well back then!

Re: Thanksgiving Monday!
Gorgeous weekend for fall running here in Ottawa!
Friday, I did 14km along the canal. Saturday, a quick 6 km solo in our 'hood before we headed to the cottage. Sunday, just 5 km at the cottage - dressed in bright colours because it's hunting season.
Today, I was on the TM because I was up early with both kids and it was still quite dark and cold out. Decided to do a progression run, and it was great! 8 km total, descending each km from 6min/kim down to 4:45/km. I did the same paces last week for km repeats with recovery and today was continuous, so felt strong.

Re: Thanksgiving Monday!
32 rather painful km done, I am thankful to the weather gods for the near perfect running weather.

Re: Thanksgiving Monday!
7K for me early this morning, loving the fall weather!
Re: Thanksgiving Monday!
Just thought I'd toot my own horn a little bit. I finally ran under 20 minutes (19:55) in a 5K today at the Oktoberfest 5K in Kitchener-Waterloo. It was so intense, and over so very fast, but I loved it!
Then I went to Guelph and ran the mile with my ten year old son and 100 m with my five year old daughter. The eight year old ran the 1 km on his own.
