   I planned to go farther than this today. Maybe 20K? All part of the great debate as to whether or not I'm running a full in October. Anyway. I watched some crappy tv, daydreamed about Court coming home, and only managed to pull myself out of PJs for this. Meh. Better than nothing!

   Semi Holiday Day 2: Ran to CrossFit and followed up with a burpee work out: Tabata for 4 cycles, 1:30 rest in between for 4 Rounds. We messed up a touch and did 4:00min of tabatas the first two rounds, but hey, an extra burpees or 25 never killed anyone.

   Dude, considering the Hill Repeats from the day before - I killed this run. Good barometre for an end of summer time trial, too. And Happy Father's Day, Papa Larsh.

   I got into my head that I was going to run up and down Goliath (a notorious kill in the cottage parts) 20 times. So I did. But I broke my Garmin in a fit of rage (another story for another day), so I have no idea how long it took me. I'm going to guesstimate that the hill is about 350m and that there was a 1 km run there and then back. Oh, and I threw 10 air squats in at the bottom of each repeat, just for funsies.

   Moore Park Loop 8 km

   Well, I'm still getting back into the swing of things. I've found it harder than I thought to do this but I tried to focus on how much I love running versus how disappointed I am over the marathon.

    OMG. LAST LONG RUN. I ended up doing the Moore Park Loop twice because I had company for the leg. My cousin was in town and she was game enough to keep me company. She's just getting back into running, so I figured I'd also torture her with some RUn Camp antics and ended our work out with some squats, push ups, sit ups and lunges. And then I let her shower while I ran the second loop.

    Brought the Mischkers on this one, since I'm dog sitting. She couldn't keep up but that's probably because I killed those hills. I didn't bring my watch, so, I'm not sure about the time. But seriously: Run Camp is definitely helping my strength. I felt like a different runner!

    So. Last Thursday, I was really disappointed to see my time. As you know. Stupid side stitch. And, before the marathon, I wanted to make it up. My intrepid CrossFit friends met up with me on Sunday afternoon (one to time us and another to run it, too). Happily, I smashed my previous time by 20 seconds! Thank god, I needed the confidence booster. (It was also interesting to run a 4.5 race in the middle of my long run (I did 8.5 there and then 9.0 home).

    Ugh. I was about due for a run that didn't go according to plan and this one went and hit me the head. I got a bad side cramp and just didn't put out the speed. Question: I got a cramp at ATB AND during this run and had oatmeal on both days (but hours before running). Can Oatmeal actually help cause cramps? (Oh, and I did it in 19:19, which is a full minute slower than my previous!)

    I'm not going to lie...today was a good running day. The weather was crisp (I hate the heat!) and the sun was, ahem, shining. I know. So poetic. Anyway. WOD was clapping push ups to failure then run 200m (10 mins for the work out). We began with high bar back squats, but my max was 105. I'm still leery of the lower back and it's too near the marathon to really push!

    I'm an idiot and left my Garmin charger in Windsor, so I ran this one without a watch. I've run this one previously, so, I'm good with the distance though. I will say that although this run was rainy and cold, I'm still thrilled with how I feel at the end of the 32K. Less than 3 weeks till Ottawa!
