Not quite ready for my run. 🙂 Today is a short, easy run with some strides. Testing myself in a half marathon tomorrow morning. It will be a steady, sustained effort, hard, but relaxed and comfortable, as I'm not in racing shape.

Got up early for 6.44k, busy day at work, and off for another 13k. Today is a recovery day so both runs are supposed to be easy, except when your husky is pulling you, because she is on the scent of something.

You never regret a workout, but you do regret missing one. I'm tired, stiff and sore from yesterday, but I'm off to the trails for 16k. Once I get moving it'll just start to flow. Keep showing up!

Early morning 6.44km felt tough after last night's speedwork, but it helps to loosen the stiff muscles and bumps up the weekly mileage, plus its cool out for my husky.

Speedwork tonight: 15 min warmup 2 sets of 4x200 strides, 200m jog 2x400 at 5k pace, 400 jog 1x800 at 10k pace, 2-3 min jog and repeat 15 min cooldown

Heading out for my second run of the day. This week I'm back to two-a-days three times a week. I really need to make sure I get enough sleep so proper recovery can happen. Its crazy hot out right now; its going to be an easy 60 minutes.

Early morning 45 min run with Leah, the husky. Going to be a hot day, had to get her out early. Tonight will be a 60 min run. Finished last week with 113km; this week's goal 120+ km. Post shower picture before I get ready for work.

Early morning post run selfie, before I volunteer at a track competition all day. An easy 10km this morning, 12km last night. That's 85km so far this week. Another deposit into the Bank of Running Performance.

It's an iced coffee, good book, and sunshine kind of day. We do get some nice days here. 🇨🇦

A very slow 12km today; my legs were tired from rebuilding the mileage after an injury. To quote one of my fav runners, Desi Linden, some days it just flows and I feel like I was born to do this, & some days its like trudging through hell; just keep showing up.

Getting ready for work, but dreaming about Friday, when the sun is predicted to return.😎
2021-06-10 16:38:20 +0000 UTC View PostI really need this bath after the hard run effort today.

A 16km (10 mile) run at 6:50/mile pace on a fairly hilly loop. Another cool and windy day. How is it possible to have the wind in 3 directions?! Although, if its windy on race day, I'll be prepared.

Its cool here today again - big surprise. I'm dreaming of a beach somewhere, so I thought a pic in my fav black bikini was perfect to post. Anyone know a fantastic beach?

Early morning 6km (4mile) shakeout run to loosen the legs before my 16km harder effort tonight. A quick selfie without makeup as I was getting ready for the run. Have a fabulous day!

Another run in the books. I still feel tired from Saturday's effort, but I got 12km in. It's like a bank deposit, keep putting in and when its time to withdraw, there's so much in reserve. Now all showered, did my stretches, and some foam rolling. Tomorrow is a 2 run day - so up early!

Out of my work clothes, and getting ready for a 10km (6 mile) run. This is my second run; I did 6km (4 mile) this morning. I'll be soaked as its raining; I love running in the rain. This morning was my first run in awhile without pain, yay! I can't wait to race this summer!

Today was a very slow 12km; my legs were so tired from yesterday's effort, every step was painful. Now lots of stretching and foam rolling; plus an elliptical session. Yesterday's effort gave me the confidence to go for sub 2:50. Two more weeks of work and then more time to train for a fall marathon over the summer. During marathon training it's so important to get: enough sleep, proper hydration and nutrition, taking time to stretch, get massages and cross train.

The key to success is motivation. It's what gets you up in the morning, and keeps you going when your body is screaming at you to quit. Find out what motivates you and use it. Never look back - it might just change your life.

I'm so tired from my run that I don't have the energy to take a photo for my fans, here's one from 2 weeks ago.
2021-06-05 18:11:01 +0000 UTC View Post
Tested myself in a 16 km (10 mile) time trial this morning in 4:04/km (6:35/mile). It went well, and no tendon issue, though my left quad was bothering me. It impeded my stride and affected my cadence, so I didn't push it. It felt relaxed; happy with the effort! Now I need to build my mileage up again. I'll try and follow the 10% rule of weekly mileage increase, but rules are sometimes hard to follow.
2021-06-05 17:56:18 +0000 UTC View Post
My mileage has been low this week returning from a minor injury. Tomorrow I test myself with a16km time trial. Then I plan to build towards a fall marathon; need to get my mileage to 120km/week. Easy 5 mile run with 4 x strides tonight. Beauty day!

When I look at this world map behind me, I'm reminded of all the destination marathon races I'd love to do. Any suggestions? Current bucket list: Reykjavik, Berlin, London, Toyko, Chicago, and New York.

I love sitting in this chair following a run and shower, sipping tea and reading a good book.

It's fun to get pretty; but it's more fun to get sweaty.😎 A moderate 12km (8 miles) and a 4 strides at the end. Ready to test myself Saturday!

A new bikini for this warm weather. Classic runner's tan - every year. 😄 🇨🇦

My run went well. It was so hot out, but I averaged 4:11/km for 10km by myself, and it felt easy. I haven't lost too much fitness from my injury, and it's a good spot to start to build again. Sub 2:50!
2021-06-02 04:02:58 +0000 UTC View Post
A pic before my hairs goes up in a ponytail and I head out for 10k (6 miles). The plan is to run 4:00-4:10/km (6:30-6:40/mile), and it should feel relatively comfortable, though its hot out! 30 Celcius which is hot for here. I'll let you know it goes.
