The Aspire group met at the UVic track after work today but because there was a high school track meet going on, we had to move the wo to Oak Bay so we ran there as a warm-up. OCal is away this week so we were on our own. Ian, Sean and Little Eric did […]

I did an easy 30 minute spin on the trainer this morning.
After work, I joined IRR for an easy run around the lakes. The group was big tonight. Boob is giving the club an easy week to recover from the race so no wo tonight. I ran a few kms with Alan […]

I got in a lot of singing this weekend so I woke up this morning guilt-free and feeling prepared to do a good session before work. It went well so I feel I am getting back into a groove!
I did an easy run tonight after work. I took the time while running […]

The weather was just about as perfect as it can get for race conditions today…cool, overcast with barely a breeze! Juice and I made it down to the start with plenty of time to warm up. My legs felt fresher than last week so I was very optimistic that I would have a better race as far […]

I LOVED my run today! It was short but my legs feel good and recovered and it was warm out! It’s so hard to take so many rest days in one week but I think (I hope) it was a wise thing to do. I was tired after the Sun Run having come […]

I forgot to blog that I did a session of core work last night. I have been keeping up with core work and other strength training but doing a bit less of it now that we’re in race mode…so fewer reps but still often enough to at least maintain everything and stay connected with my core. […]

It was nearly 45 minutes into my lesson before I started making some decent sounds. I have to learn to let go which feels to me like I am being lazy and when I feel vulnerable that’s when Selena gets excited by my sound…so lazy and vulnerable…great, that will take me the rest of my life to […]

OCal wanted a lightweight track session for tonight…nothing too physically or mentally challenging. We ran on the track but did some timed intervals of 30″ on, 30″ jog rest, 60″ hard, 60″ jog rest continuous for 20 minutes total. Syl and Slaw showed up to insert a speedy session before the TC. I was very careful not to push […]

Man, I was sleeping hard when the alarm went off this morning. This cold weather is making me want to start winter hibernation again. I did my 30 minute spin before work and got in some singing. I will be able to get more practising done this week and will schedule a solid session […]

I hooked up with Juice after work for an easy cruise around the golf course. We ran there from home, did a figure 8 and then ran back home. My legs are a bit sore (upper quads) which is a sign I wasn’t running tall…probably muscling my stride. It kind of felt […]
