The Running Diva

Thursday, July 6, 2008

I ran 30 minutes very easily at CH this morning. My legs felt pretty good but I kept the pace in check. I met up with OCal at his place after work and he introduced me to the loop around Swan lake. I can’t believe I haven’t run there. We did two easy loops and I ran along the Goose picking it up just a bit to get home. It only took about 8 minutes to run home so this will be a great place to run on my easy run days. I will be racing a 10km in Calgary on Sunday, so I will take tomorrow off, fly to Cowtown after work and do a pre-race run on Saturday. I didn’t want to taper much for this race so training through and running at a bit of altitude will make this race just oh, so much fun! Syl is timing the event so I will bug him for a while at the package pick-up on Saturday and spend the rest of the weekend with Er, Pete and the kids. I can’t wait to see them! We are going to a stampede party on Saturday night…did I already mention that the race will be brutal? Ha!

We had OCal and Jac over for a BBQ tonight and we got to hear some great running stories. He ran races with Coe and Ovett…cool!
