great the heights 2.18 mi 00:21 09:29 pace
as much as i hate tapering itself, i love how ebullient and energetic i feel on taper runs. i really had to work at reigning myself in tonight, but i think i did a fairly good job at clamping down ... read more

great new hill route 6.1 mi 00:58 09:35 pace

tired victoria marathon 26.53 mi 05:20 12:03 pace
so, i had an "i just might die and become marathon roadkill" kind of race. it is what it is. i contemplated taking a DNF many, many times along the course. a lot of elements conspired in ... read more

Good luck tomorrow. I have a feeling it'll be hard to not push with the excitement of the thousands of other runners around you and the finish area of in front of the Legislature building. Enjoy it!

awesome update! Whatever helps to avoid injury - do it. It sucks being out of the game because you choose to do a rest day, but when you have no choice?! oh that really sucks!

@mike- thanks, i'm feeling ready! @thomas- yeah, it evolves for me too. i guess it's only natural to analyze our motives when we spend so much of our time running. @wiiqi- thanks for the motivation! positivity makes all the difference in one's training. @marc- have you done victoria before? i'm really looking forward to it! @jose- thanks! you're so right. taking an unscheduled rest day here and there isn't the end of the world, and it's downright smart if it can help you avoid injury.

RUN
great burnaby lake 13.26 mi 02:23 10:47 pace
a long, night run on the trails. pace is a little off from the walking i did near the end. it was getting so dark by the time i finished that i didn't walk to risk running and tripping over something.

RUN
alright 1.5 mi 00:14:48 09:52 pace
early morning run to disperse a little nervous energy before a dentist appointment. pulled my right hip flexor a little, i think.

Wow, well done Kyndra. Going Ultra is still something that I don't know if can or want to do. Part of it is courage, I'm sure, so good on ya. I've been exposed to this phenomenon through Canadian Death Race & Sinister 7 and I've seen it suck a few of us half-marathoners & marathoners in. You've gone so far in such a short period of time, so just, like, wow.

Awesome! I have these thoughts in my head about extending into ultra distances, but I'd have to run better than I have been through December.
