Summit 700 1/2 - Blue Mountain - Saturday July 11, 2026

 Returned to Blue for another crack at the Summit 700 1/2

Had fun running initially with Raj, Carson and Robin.   Lost Robin a few K in and then Raj after a few more.  Carson hung in there and finished with me.   It was a decent time ,  more or less like the BV run just a bit more elevation and it was a wee bit warm,  not crazy but warm.

Was third in the 60-69 age group ,  easier to do now the field I complete in is becoming allot less populated .  

1@6

 5K @ 6:30 pace,  last K was a 6:00 pace.

Sat and Sun ... no run,  no time and I was OK with that.   Knees were a bit weird after heavy lifting the week before.  

Monday June 29 ,  back to work logging a 5K at my next pace goal ,  6:30!   Al  was A OK ,  felt fluid ,  easy start and no complaint from the knees.   

Lunch Run

 5K @ 7:00 pace again today on my meal break.  

Did a repeat of Monday logging another 4.8K on the backyard trail after work.  Recovery was a float in the pool with a cold one.   

The past week...

 Monday June 15 - 21K at BV with Grant , Raj and Patrick.  Around the usual 4 hour mark.   Weather was fantastic for mid June started around 09:00  am @ 8C ending around 13:00 15C. 

Friday June 19 - 6.4 K on the backyard trail followed by a hammock session.   Still coolish temps in the mid teens at 16:00.   

Sunday June 21 - 9.6K at  Sauble -  Looped 2nd Ave and the beech working on some faster pacing on a flat hard surface followed by a slower pace back on the beach then repeat.  Started super rough walking the fist K...suffering the effects of loading the knees doing Firewood for two days during the week.  Once I got moving I picked up the pace ,  checked the watch it was a 6:15 ish pace held it for a K or so then backed down.  Did it again after a beach return and logged a K at 5:50 pace.   Gradually working toward 10K @ 6:00 pace without too much effort.  

Monday June 22 - TWO runs,  5K @ 7:00 pace on the treadmill at work over my meal break then right after work at 16:30  a 4.8 backyard trail run followed by a recovery float in the pool.
