    good Holiday Monday LSD 10.05 km 01:16 12:06 pace

    Nice little Monday run with Linda. King St out to Roncy was nice. Shady and breezy but once we hit the MGT I burned out in the sun. We went out with 10k in mind but I realized along the MGT that th... read more

    great 6k 6 km 00:41 11:07 pace

    Steady 6k on the treadmill at VV this morning. Nice and easy comfortable pace, no pain anywhere. Will be foam rolling my glute for the rest of the day and see how it feels tomorrow.

    Sporting Life 10k 10.2 km 01:05 10:15 pace

    It was a very cold wait at the start line this morning with 27000 other runners and walkers. I was happy to finally cross the start line so I could get moving and warm up.

    A little run to remind me of how unprepared I am for Sunday. Need to find my running mojo but the injuries are just sucking it out of me.

      It's better to opt out and save it for another day, than risk injury that can take you out for a while.

    5k steady at VV 5 km 00:33 10:35 pace

    I did it, 30 before 40! Not much to say about it oddly enough and I'm not sure why. My legs crashed around 23k to the point where I wasn't even able to run down or up hills. The jury is s... read more

      Take it easy with that adductor and don't be afraid to cut off the 12k early. Remember "30 before 40" is the main goal!

      Not every run is an awesome run, Ginny. 17 is still some really good distance! John and Andrew cut their long run short by 15KM on Saturday because of an injury so you're not alone. Sometimes you just need to listen to your gut (and be cool with your decision). xox

      What Karyn said! This is a step-back week. 17k is great mileage. Better to listen to your body and not risk further injury. :)

      You made the right decision, Ginny! You need to be in top form for the big race! There is no question that you will be able to run the 30K! Rest up!
