I think weather like this - 0 degrees with clear skies - might be my favourite to run in. Cool enough that you don't have to worry too much about excess sweat/dehydration, but warm enough that you ... read more

I guess we could call this one a 'kitchen sink' run - original plan was for an LSD, but then inadvertently threw in some hills by running through the Thomas/Winston Churchill area, and then decided... read more

alright 7.74 km 01:09 14:14 pace
Took me around 6 of those kilometres to find my groove. After that it felt like it went well, but overall this was a total git'r done run.

Resolution Run 5 km 00:40 12:53 pace
One last run for 2011!

blah 6 km 00:58 15:33 pace
Felt like punishment. DESERVED to be punishment, because I've not been out running in nearly a month, relying instead on the twin excuses of work and school.

If it's any consolation, dana and all his november nano-running is making us BOTH look bad... November is always a light training month ...

Really feeling my fitness level starting to drain away from me. Not good. Need to find a routine that works better with my current schedule.

Well done getting out there. Can you do anything during your lunch hour? That's how I get 2-3 runs in a week.

Not reliably, sadly. What I'm thinking is I'll start doing some calisthenics and yoga on nights during the week when I don't have class, and then a long run on the weekend. It's not a perfect system, but I think it's what's manageable for now.

I thought fartleks were fairly laid back, as speed work goes. You just sprint occasionally when you feel like like sprinting.

Well, they're fairly laid back if you're a marathon runner :oP
I find I still sometimes need to take walking breaks mid-run, so the idea of not taking any of those breaks and just varying between lsd pace and sprinting was daunting.6 months ago • Like

It is a great feeling of being a runner, eh? Where are you camping? We go for the long weekend. Have a great time; it is so fun with the little ones!

Thanks Lyndsey!
Nicole, we're going to Bronte Creek in Oakville. Should be interesting because we're going with friends of ours who have a two-year old and it's going to be the first time either of our kids camp!

Nice! Which RR did you run with? Winston Churchill? That's the one I go to. I couldn't go out tonight though. Bummer as I need a hat (and will wear ANYTHING!)

Red, I'll have to take out the hat for a few more runs to test that theory - I definitely was faster today than I was expecting :o)
Nicole, it was the Winston Churchill RR! It's around a 10 minute bike ride away from me - it's a shame it's taken me this long to get around to making it out on a Wednesday night!7 months ago • Like
