The Running Diva

I did 30 minutes on the trainer, did some stretching and got some singing in before work this morning. Juice and I met up with Boob and other IRR guys for an easy 50 minutes after work. We crossed over to the Broadmead side of the highway and made our way over to the Lochside trail. Boob said we would avoid the big hill and it was a lie. We got to Haliburton Rd and he yelled at us who were up ahead to turn left. Grrrrr! Up we went and it was pitch dark. I was cursing. I am blind as a bat at night and kept asking if I was still on the road. I honestly could not tell and was sure I was going to end up face down in the ditch. We made it to the top and poor Alan, who I swear was dressed as if he were going to go tobogganing, was sweating like a maniac. It was cold out but after running that hill we were all schwitzing…poor Alan! I did 6 strides on the grass (Juice did some too!) and then had a quiet night in, catching up on emails and watching some TV. I got the itinerary for the trip to Guelph and thankfully, our flight leaves just after 11am on Thursday. I was sure we would get a crazy 7am departure time so this is good! 

I am so happy to hear Patty has emailed Em! He is doing some heavy- duty travelling and is making his way to Melbourne and may try to do some training with her running club  there! This is too cool!!
