Not bad, for a first race. It pissed rain the entire time - to the point where I could not tell if my legs were just extremely fatigued or if my shoes gained 10 lbs of water. I felt great for the f... read more

RUN
blah Around McKenzie Towne 6 km 00:37 09:55 pace
No energy today. I could not wait for this run to be over, but could not seem to run any faster. It was supposed to be a tempo run, but that did not work out so well. Hoping for a better run tomorrow!

RUN
blah Calgary Bow 14 km 01:25 09:46 pace
I was aiming for 16K, but I got too hot and dehydrated. It was a hot, dry day in Calgary. I definitely need to pick up a fuel belt before attempting my next 16K run. It was nice to run along the ri... read more

alright Cousens Bay - Vernon 10 km 01:05 10:27 pace
We did the rattlesnake hill trail around the mountain. Hills were BRUTAL, and there were plenty of them! We had one wildlife encounter with an unknown snake species, but no rattlesnake or bear run-... read more

alright Mount Doug 6 km 00:40 10:43 pace
Another failed search for the elusive "around the mountain trail." Killer hills, but nice view from the top.

good long, slow run. I was feeling it for the last 2K.

RUN
alright 8 km 00:50 10:03 pace
I am glad the schedule called for slow and steady today, because slow and steady is just how I felt! Beautiful run down Lochside past Blenkinsop Lake. I am looking forward to my off day tomorrow!

RUN
good Elk Lake 10 km 01:00 09:39 pace
Good run. I was feeling pretty sluggish heading out, but eventually my energy picked up. Tried out the 14:1 and it seemed a good fit for longer runs.

RUN
Mt. Doug Adventure 6 km
I set out to run around the mountain but got lost, as I am known to do from time to time. Somehow I ended up summiting one of the secondary peaks. So, at times my run was more of a scramble and at ... read more

good Marathon training - first week 13 km 01:30 11:08 pace
Being that I have not run more than 7km in a workout for the last few months, I figured I would start my long runs doing the 9:1 run/walk ratio suggested by the globe and mail marathon training pro... read more

great Moksha yoga 01:30
This was my first time trying Moksha, and it was wonderful! Never felt so relaxed.

Nothing like an early morning trail run at Mt. Doug to start the day! Some decent altitude and rolling hills. Perfect!

Just a quickie.

RUN
blah 6 km
Short run at Mount Doug. I was very tired. Perhaps due to general exhaustion or poor fuelling. Otherwise, a nice run on a nice Victoria day.

great work, laura! i strong armed jodi into running edmonton (August) as her first 1/2 when she wanted to wait until kelowna in october. the first race can be considered one to make some mistakes on and then nail the next one. however, it sounds like you left everything on the course and that's a good sign. you destroyed a major goal. there's little fear in you and for that alone, you should be proud. congrats on the result.

Thanks, Dan! I am glad I went for it. Prior to this race, the question was "can I do it?" Now that I have that out of the way, I can concentrate on "can I do it faster?" I'm looking forward to October. Thanks for the encouragement!
