One race Run For The Toad 50K , Oct 4th.   I was a little light on the Ks missing a couple of long runs but thats OK as I will be gearing it up a bit in November working towards the R4K 8 hour January 3, 2015.  

Last run in the heat for awhile

10.8k logged this morning.  After raining all night it was overcast and very humid with no breeze.   Did the "Resort Run" again.  Had to detour in a couple of spots to avoid getting my Hokas wet.    Home tomorrow so its back to the treadmill ,  great white out of doors and the track at the Owen Sound Y.   How many weeks til R4K?

Beach today!

After back to back longish runs I decided to hit the beach today.  High Tide,  High Surf and Global Warming made for a challenging run.  The 10.8K I logged was done weaving in and out of resorts due to no beach...yeah no beach.  Thats not the Punta Cana beach I remember running on nearly a decade ago!  Shoes filled with sand as a result of running through the surf.  I can handle wet feet but when you toe box is filled with what feels like concrete it becomes a little uncomfortable!

Back to back at 15.5333 Deg North of the Equarter

No intention on going longish today but the weather was great and I had time on my hands so I really couldn't come up with a good reason to stop today logging 21.3 Ks at an avg sub 7:00 pace.  Quads hurt after yesterdays Run ...almost gaver into the urge to pack it in after 10K but the little Ultra Voice was telling me to " Suck it up Princess" so I kept on going and going and going for 2hrs27min.  Pretty  slow for a 1/2 but it was 20-25C  and 80% Humidity!

Longer today

It rained all night here and by the time day break happened it was clearing up so it was only in the mid 20's with less humidity at 7am ...made for a great 20K resort run.  Waves were ponding in on the beach so I knew that the beach run was a no go...maybe tomorrow!   Originally intened on 16K but I felt great so I kep going.  Most Ks were sub 7:00 pace  a big improvement over yesterday.    Hope to more or less do the same run tomorrow however I need to lace up around 6am to avoid the extreme heat.

Saved by Sea Weed

Started off on then beach this morning but high tide and a strong offshore breeze through a ton of sea weed up on the part of the beach that I can run on.  Less then a K in I turned back and headed form the resort and started looping a 1.6 K route.   The resort run was mostly shaded so sun exposure wasnt an issue although the 28C and close to 100% humidity made for another challenging run.   Being a little hung over and a tad bit dehydrated didn't help.   Its suppose to rain here tomorrow so I am looking forward to some relief to allow me go go longer!  Almost forgot ....12.1 Ks logged today.

HOT HOT HOT

12K logged on the beach this morning.  Nothing quite like waking up at 7am with a big head then lace up!   The Sun was up by the time I hit the Beach around 07:30 am.   Headed directly into the Sun and ran until I felt like heat stroke was seetting in then turned around and headed back.   Heading back the Sun was at my back and suddenly there was a nice breeze in my face...saved!     I have run some warm ones this past summer but nothing like the 28C ,  100% Sun and 90% humidity!!!!!   Recovery in the pool was sweet.....

Now what to do today??????
