Wednesday, July 30, 2008
Tonight’s run was the Boob run, with Boob, well for about 15′ anyway. He is starting carefully with just 20′ but it looks like his injury has healed nicely! We did the usual route on the Centenial trails, Juice me and Shauna, with a slight pick-up in the last 15 minutes fololwed […]

Yesterday was a complete day off.  I was fried so I rested as much as I could, something I would not have been able to do if I was working. I don’t love feeling tired but I know it just means I worked hard so it feels good, in a way. As […]

Jess , Juice, Schester and I made plans to car-pool to the Sooke potholes for today’s long-run adventure.  We parked in the main p-lot and started the run from there heading up the main road and eventually hopping on the Galloping Goose trail. We ran at a fairly relaxed pace most of […]

OCal had us run a fartlek session this morning. We all took turns picking a landmark to run to, some longer reps of 2-3 minutes to short sprints of 30″ with varying recovery times. Rui had very creative fartlek ideas! I was feeling tired this morning, so I held back a bit but still got in some […]

Juice and I met Glenn at the Ian Stewart gym to do some strength and core stuff first thing this morning. We did three little circuits targeting some running specific muscles with core exercises in between. I then scooted off to Jannie’s place to meet her for a ride. We did a nice route along the […]

I ran about 40 minutes easy at Cedar Hill this morning. It was a stiff start but I felt good after ten minutes and enjoyed the morning shuffle on the chip trails.
I joined Juice at the lakes, meeting up with IRR. Boob has started up running again but is wisely beginning slowly. […]

I did a pile of jobs I have been itching to get at for a long while this morning as well as some singing. I am going to do a few projects every week so by the time September rolls around, I’ll have the condo organized and may even have some pictures hung up on […]

The track wo got moved to the morning today since everyone was available. The session was the same for everyone: 12 x 400m with 60″. Today the group was small but mighty with Prancy, Chops, Buddy, Rui and Chop’s bro who was in town for a visit. OCal said to keep the […]

Monday, July 21, 2008
Since yesterday was such a big run for me (and Juice!), I took today off from running. I got in a good 90 minutes of singing before we headed out for a great two-hour ride. I took my put-put bike since we rode the Goose out past Royal Roads where the trail is gravel. We had a […]

Jess, Glenn and Jer swung by our place before we all set out for Mount Work Park where we met Rob and Alan.
It was all fun and games in the parking lot before we left.
 

I was a bit nervous about getting lost and running too long especially when I saw Alan looking at the trail map.

Luckily for […]
