Two Run Sunday ... mid 6 bonus

 Dog needed a Run,   grabbed Dax and did 4.8 km after breakfast this afternoon.   Always grateful to get a 2 nd one in  especially working a 12 hour night shift.  

Mid 6

 Its another cool morning ,  2C but no frost like yesterday.   Didn't  really feel up to it but I pushed myself out the door into the cold and logged a 5 km lunch run.

Mid 4 and 5

 Yesterday it was raining and just above freezing so I opted not to run.   This morning it was clear and cold  there was frost on the grass.   I had to put the running pants and shell back on logging another 5 km on my meal break.

Mid 3 - Brrrrrrr

 Yesterdays lunch run was 23C/Humid/Still.   Fast forward to this mornings 2 am run it was `17C colder at 6C and  there was a wind chill to boot,  4C.  Needless to say this mornings run was at a much quicker pace.   5 km logged on my meal break. 

Two run mid 2

 Didn't super feel like hitting the trail but I had a bit of time and a dog with an abundance of energy so I headed out logging 5 laps ,  4.8 km on the backyard trail.

Mid 1

 Last set of mids until the fall this week.  Logged 5 km at 3am under a fantastic moon lit sky and some very pleasant high teen temperatures.  

Long Weekend Running

 It was the "May Two Four " weekend and I was off.    Figured Saturday would be a reset day being just too busy too get a run in.   Sunday ended up being the same.   Monday was 7 km on the beach at Sauble .  It turned out to be a really nice day.  Ended the run with a dip in Lake Huron .  It was a little on the numbing side but it felt good after heating up running.

I did it again!

 Loving the heat,  managed 2 runs again today.   Late this afternoon before work it was 5.7 km on teh backyard trail and then this evening it was another 5 km around APK on my meal break.  Feeling good and super glad to be building some volume.  Mids next week and I am going to try to keep the two run party going.

Twosday

 Two runs today ,  haven't done that in awhile.  Logged another 5 km around APK on my meal break this evening. 

Trail Tuesday

 12+ laps on the backyard trail today for a total of 10.7 km.   Every 3rd lap I took the new trail I made last year.... adds a ton of elevation!    The weather was fantastic with temps pushing into the mid 20's.  I really like the warmer runs its allot easier to build some volume when you really enjoy what you are doing.

Friday + Saturday + Sunday + Monday

 Friday - Rest day ...  actually no rest just no time to run!

Saturday - 12 laps on the backyard trail logging 10.4 km.  I need to build some volume so there has to be many more outings like this plus some long ones!   Need to build to a backyard 50 ker some time in June. 

Sunday - Another 12 laps followed by a hammock session.  

Monday - Back to work at APK,  logged 5 km on my meal break lapping the earth station.

Weekend off, well not really!

 Friday was just one of those busy days when there was just no time to run.  Saturday and Sunday I was at Patricks helping him replace his roof.  Monday I was watching over a dog with a cone recovering from being nutered.  Managed to sneak one in today logging 4.8 km on the backyard trail ...I needed that!

Weekend and Monday

 Saturday was a 2 run day.   First was 6 laps / 5.6 km on the backyard trail with Dax.   The second was the old McCormick loop that use to be my go to road run.  Logged the 10.2 km in just a little over and hour.  Lots of great hills and more like a trail run then a road run.  Will be more of this router going into Summer. 

 Its Monday and I am back in Allan Park this week.  Logged a 5 km run on the pavement just before noon today.
