Speed Monday

7K Heart Run today on my meal break ...back to work today! 

Sunday Afternoon

Logged a little 4.8K run on the backyard trail late Sunday afternoon.  Wished I had more I was really enjoying being in the woods ...comfortably warm temps too. 

Ditto

Same run Friday another 10K on the beach at Sauble.   Had a little more pop in the legs yesterday only one more planned long run between now and Endur in 2 weeks will  do it next week mid to late week another loop of Durham.

Beach again...

Did and afternoon beach run at Sauble today logging another 10K.

Beach Run

End to end on the beach at Sauble this morning logging 16.7Ks .   It was beautiful sunny with a light breeze.  Ended the run with an extra 2K running back Adi the Golden Doodle around the block followed by a dip in Lake Huron.  Looks like it's going to be a good beach afternoon.  

Running in the Rain

Tuesdays trail was just a little 4.8k run on the backyard trail.   It was raining ,  light to heavy but super warm.  I wanted to go a little further but there was some active weather and it's not a good place to be so I cut it short.

Sauble

10K out and back on the beach at Sauble today.   Not much pop in the legs I think I am still recovering from Friday.   Managed to turn out a bunch of 5:20ks.   It was overcast with som light rain here and there and temps in the high teens....not too bad for running.

Peninsula Run Friday

Headed out with Grant on Friday running Hope Bay in the morning and Lions Head in the afternoon. In the am we parked on the North side of Hope Bay and headed towards Rush Cove on a side trail looping back to the car.   Just beyond the residences on Rush Cove the trail followed along the coast and then through a flat open area before climbing the escarpment...easy trail along the water , tough after climbing the escarpment.    A few Ks before the car we stopped at Jackson Monument with great views towards Hope Bay,  Cape Croaker and Colpoys Bay and Wiarton.    Logged 18.3 km in 3hrs33min.

Took a break and had a great lunch in Lions Head before the afternoon run.  It was super hot ,  32C and hydration was a challange.   I took in lots of fluids at lunch and was pretty much covered from the morning.  Headed out on the North side of the Lions Head loop with 1.5 litres of water prepared for about 3 hours in the heat.  Ran out to the McKays Harbour camp site and spent some time checking it out.  It was a great spot with some prime camp sites on the water .   There was a little bit of gross garbage here and there but no too bad considering.    Heading up the escarpment there was a great cooling wind that was from the South.   The South side of the Lions Head loop was super comfortable with the cooling wind.  We originally planed on coming back on the Inland Trail but decided to do the whole loop because of the wind so we headed to the Isle Hanel side trail adding a few extra Ks.  Logged 16.7ks in 4hrs16min.

Barrows Bay

Did some  a Bruce Trail Run/Explore  yesterday at Barrows Bay. 

In the morning I ran the Barrow Bay side trail ( South side of the Bay ).   It was an out and back that ended up being 11.9 km.  I was solo so I did a ton of exploring on the rocky beach.   I super enjoyed just being on the beach Georgian Bay is simply amazing. 

In the afternoon I did an out and back on the North side of the Bay logging 10.4 km.   Originally I wanted to do the entire Lions Head Loop but I didn't have the time.   I wanted to scout the McKays Harbor camp site but I was short on water and super hot as well as running out of time so I turned back with just a little over 2K to go...next time. 

Taking it to the street

Getting ready for Endur in August so its time to hot the pavement...kinda weird for me! 

Logged 23.4Ks heading down the 2nd to Durham then looping the Conservation area.   Great weather ,  clear temps in teh mid to upper teens and a super nice NW Wind...picked a good day! 

Things I noticed running road ....

• You can look around ....not many tripping hazards. 
• Waved at every car/truck...I was busy! 
• Some folks don't slow down or give you much room.   There are no shoulders in most places the township hasn't cut the ditches yet! 
• Got chased by the same dog twice ...there was a potential for a problem but I avoided it!  

I wanted to travel light ... wore my " 10K Belt" just enough room for the phone.  Needed water so I packed a lunch bag and a straw.   The Conservation area has water at the 9K mark which is perfect on the way out and way back.  Filled the bag with water the straw made it slick to drink out of .....worked very well.  

Want to get this run to a 5:30 pace but I had no particular goal today... made two pit stops at the park the first was bathroom/ water the second was just water.
