Kingston on the 30th eh? It looks like the Tough *** is cancelled, and I'll be in Ottawa a week earlier than the half, so I'm looking at a 10k there on that weekend.

Kingston might work out actually. Thanks for the tip.<HR>

There's a slim chance I might race the 5km at that event.

Nobody lives in Vaughn. The only two things there are the mall and Canada's Wonderland.

I've got a nasty sunburn today after spending all day Saturday taking down my aging apple tree. I shoulda worn a hat.

Alright, I can get a discount there. We could dine on Clif Bars.

Dave and Busters sounds near perfect.

Maybe we should meet up in Calgary first...to practise.

29K through Earl Bales, York Cemetary, over to Windfields Park, Edward Gdns, Sunnybrook.

Aurang, how's Moore Park Ravine? Not too muddy?

It's muddy around the Brick Works, but it's pretty good.

Four weeks is a long time.

I ran a lot today, it was fun. I ran three "mile reps" (really 1700 m or so) at Queen's Park in the morning. They were slow, but not so slow for my first workout in a couple of months. I'd been doing a lot of quick running over that time, which I guess helped.

I also ran 4k to the store and back tonight to go for a walk with some, well, walkers, who had no one to "lead" their clinic. That was a very strange experience, I've never been so athletically-dressed to go for a leisurely stroll. I think that the Running Room's walking clinics are probably my favourite of all their clinics, it's the least pretentious and the most beneficial. There were some people who clearly were young enough to run, I have no idea why they were walking. I think a couple of women were hitting on me, until I had to open my mouth and say that I worked at the store instead of, oh, I don't know, McCarthy, McCarthy and Jackson.

I ran 19k today, though it obviously helps that I went for three separate runs. The second and third run were broken up by a 25-minute walk and a few minutes of stretching. Running is much more enjoyable, cheaper and probably quicker on average than the subway and streetcar.
