   Hit the treadmill for the first time in ages for a quick recovery run after Sunday's effort. Felt good, but a bit fatigued. I tried to focus on form tonight - staying upright, concentrating on my arms as well.

   First run post head cold and it felt great to get out there again and run. I just started running south towards the lake down Vic Park and then onto Queen and eventually the boardwalk at the foot of Silver Birch Ave. Kept on running and didn't stop until I hit 5k. Did a wide u-turn and ran back the same way I came. Took on the big hills at the end, but I pushed through and finished the 10k strong without a single step of walking or even a traffic light. Awesome stuff.

     Great run James, must've felt great to get back out there again. Those hills at the end are killers, way to tough it out!

     A couple of drops, but no rain. Just a nice warm night to run down by the lake. I love the Beach...I can't believe I live here sometimes.

     Turned that big fat zero in 39k in 36 hours. I might be insane.

   Went out fast and continuous with the speedy group and held it together through about 18k and then I started to run out of gas. From that point to the finish was sunny and hot along the lakeshore, and that took a toll on my legs. I stuck it out with a couple of walk breaks and a slower pace, and ended up finishing the 23k in a decent time. Pretty happy overall, although it was a tougher run than I've had in a long time.

     Thanks Mark...we were running under 5:20 for a lot of it, but some walking over the last 4k really hurt the time. Didn't really care as there was no finish line at the end and it was still nice and fast.

   Such nice weather this morning that I couldn't resist going out. Just did the usual 5k loop but ran it pretty quick. I'm doing more of these faster runs these days to start ramping up for a half marathon PB assault. I'd love to get down under 1:45, and these faster runs are good practice to get to that pace on race day in October.

     Oh you got caught in the rain? Crazy! I was lucky enough to miss the rain on my bike, got to my destination just before the skies opened up! The rain can be fun, you're right, but I've been caught in the rain way too many times this summer!

   A little on the wet side, but that's how it goes sometimes. Good run in drizzle first, then light rain. Ran with a fast Ironman and was happy to keep pace over 12k on a pretty uphill first half.

    Took some convincing to get my butt out the door, but I was glad I did (as usual). Just beat a pretty decent downpour back to the house, but other than that it was a pretty casual 5k.
