I've been working pretty hard after the Night Crawler. I ran a 25-minute tempo Saturday, 8 x 850 metres on Monday and a 20-minute tempo tonight. I've got a 10k on Saturday.

What were the times like for the 800s?

HI All

Yes, JC and aurang the club and the goal have got me motivated.Seeing improvement in my pace and strength also helps! I like the program, its balanced. I am feeling a bit tired, but I was at council until 12 last night and back tonight @ 7 until 9, after working all day - election silliness in full swing.

I ran 9 k tonight between work and meeting. My legs felt like lead, but but my pace was faster than assigned and HR well below the target assigned. I'm told to work on HR. Track workout tommorrow - tempo runs.

Hope everyone is well - where's Dawn?

3:10 each. After 2 runs the day before I didn't think I'd be able to squeeze out more than that, especially given the humidity that morning, so that's what I targetted.

I didn't get my 9 miles in this morning as I was 15 minutes late getting out the door, so I settled for 7 1/2. Easy tho, I needed the break. If nothing else I'm finally getting used to the heat, it's not kicking my butt as much as it was earlier this year.

Anyone thinking of doing the A Midsummer Night's Run[/URL" target="_blank">? 30K on the Toronto waterfront Saturday August 19th starting at 8:00pm.

Incorporates the entire Leslie St Spit, Ashbridges Bay and the rest of the docklands.

Good timing as a warmup if your doing one of the Toronto marathons in the fall.

One of the race organizers asked me to be a Pace Fairy at 2:45 or 3:00.

Time for a bump. Hope everyone is enjoying their long weekend. I tried to get on Friday and Sat but the forums were down.

Yesterdays long run was brutal. We went out before 8 but I died at around 12 k, basically short runs/walks for the last 5. My hamstrings were cramping and the humidity was terrible. Everyone said it was the worse run this summer for heat. Quite a few were walking the last stretch. Day off today. I am likely the change the running is making in the way I feel and dropping 5lbs doesn't hurt

Happy Canada Day weekend.

I ran the Canada Day 10k on Saturday, finishing in 39:48 for 29th place. I was pretty tired, which explains why it was the slowest road 10k I have ever run.

The weekend was wicked for running, way too humid. I did anyway but it weren't too pleasant...as they say in lousy English.

Today sure was a contrast to the last few days. Actually a bit chilly as I was walking down to the park to start. I ran 10 short hill loops from the base of the valley to the top, only about a hundred meters available to get my breath back between them. The problem in the summer, the kids stay up late and I end up being up late with them, then hauling myself out of bed in the morning is a challenge.

It is. Maybe you fell asleep on the beach.

A much better Sunday morning weather wise for a run than last Sunday. About 23K down the Belt Line and Moore Park Ravine.

Afterwards nice big Veal Culet Sandwich for California Sandwiches, then World Cup watching time at home.

Planned to get back to it this morning after a few days off because of a sore shin, but I'm not sure I can face the dreadmill and the rain is too hard for me...as I am essentially made from sugar.

Helloooo...anyone home? Just back from Southampton, went up Sunday. Only beach day we got was yesterday but I believe the weather was better there than here! Cloudy but no rain. Ran 13k Sunday (recovery weekend), 9k Tuesday with my speedy little sis, then drove to Port Eligin yesterday for my track workout. 18 laps @tempo which for me was 5:30 per km with a 2k warmup and 2k cool down. The track was crappy and not a tree within a mile! It was ugly and I was drenched when finished (started @ 9 am,very hot and sunny) but I did it

. Light run tomorrow then 19K for Sunday and I'm not looking forward to the heat.

Sauble beach sure is changing - used to be lots of little tiny cottages. People are now buying the old ones and ripping them down and building the following - on leased land no less!

Hope this works - not - help, how do I attach a picture?

Hope everyone is well and happy running. How's are the shins JC?
