Double 1:40:24

Thursday, July 16, 2009

Juice and I left early on our run this morning to beat the heat. We ran along Lochside together. I was taking it easy but I could see he was working a bit hard holding the pace  so after 20′, I went on ahead to Mount Doug (feeling guilty leaving him behind) and ran on some trail there before turning around to go back. It was a gorgeous, bright morning and my legs just seemed to be spinning along.  Juice did an out and back too but apparently had some stomach issues so he had to do some walking on his way back. Ooops, I hope I didn’t kill him in the first part of his run (the guilt, the guilt!!!). I did some plyos in the park across the street afterwards, showered, ate my second breakfast and headed off to work. I was supposed to meet Ased for my second run in the afternoon but I had to run earlier than planned to make it to a dinner party. We will try and get together for a run next week. I ended up running around the trails at UVic, taking it easy, enjoying being outdoors.

Juice and I went to a great potluck patio party out in the country! What a beautiful evening we had for it!
