4.5 mile run, and a new podcast test

I had to alter my training plan a bit to squeeze in the 10K race on Monday.   I was due to run a 4.5 mile easy run next Tuesday, but instead I thought I would shift it up, run it today, then take two days off before the race, plus a day after the race …

ready for the weekend

I knew it was going to be one of those days. I had a meeting at 7am and a demo I had to give at 9am.  When my schedule is like this the only way I can fit my training schedule in is to plan ahead. I can’t say this enough, if you have trouble …

wicked pre-dawn tempo run

So I had a busy day today but I really wanted to fit in the 40 minute tempo run my plan called for.   Because I had an 8am meeting at work, a lunch date, and one of my boyfriends friends was staying on our couch I decided to commute in to work and run from …

full moon, sleepy legs

My calf is starting to really bother me, I did the 30 day shred as my weights yesterday, plus a bit of extra arms and core, but all the jumping was hurting me so I iced it twice last night and was hoping it would be fine this morning.   Sadly I woke up and  a …

3 mile easy run, sleepy legs, and deer encounters

This weekend I switched it up to do my long run on Saturday and my easy run on Sunday, rather then the usual order which is the opposite.  So this morning I  woke up to do 3 miles.   It really worked mentally. I had a great run yesterday and so I was really looking forward …

8 mile run including a last mile party

The plan called for 8 miles tomorrow, but I decided to try and get them done today since tomorrow we are getting our roof done.  It is way easier to grab 30 minutes then 90 minutes.  Plus if I do it early enough I can avoid accidentally getting seen by roofing men in my birthday …

wet and dark easy run

Dragged my ass out of bed this morning for a 3 mile easy run.  I was smart enough to leave my running jacket at work yesterday so I wore a long sleeve tech top and a fleece vest. By the end of my run I was actually really cold because I was wet. I actually …

fabulous speed intervals make me so happy

I had a super fabulous run at lunch today!  I was tired beforehand and after I felt so great. I love it when everything just clicks!  It was 12C out, which is quite lovely, and the sunny was peeking in and out but not overwhelming. I went for my usual seawall lunch time route and …

i lost my house key

I had a psychic moment this morning.  I was about 9 or 10 minutes into my run and I thought to myself oh my god, where is my house key? I patted myself down and checked my pockets, twice. It was gone.  Fuck.

Fuck, fuck fuck.  I started retracing my steps at a slow jog …

my highest running mileage week ever!

First we should talk about my weekend runs.  Yesterday I was hungover and ran 3 miles with a headache that refused to go away. It was through some of my favorite trails up near UBC but I wasn’t feeling it. In fact I actually went back to bed after I got home. Then today I …
