15K this morn

15K indoors at my usual 5 min pace. Was going to do 20 but I had to cut it short again! didn't run yesterday , too busy with work and all. Hopefully I can get a couple of more in before the week is over.

8K today

Took it indoors before work again , did an 8K at a 5:00 pace. I was going to go 13-15K but I cut it short ... tummy trouble.

12K last eve

Jumped on the treadmill at 10:30 for a 12K cruise at a 5:00 pace before I started work at midnight!

Had a little scare with the Garmin yesterday. Have been having trouble with one of my PCs , had it on the bench and was working on it , just finished removing the Sata drive and swapped the power supply out. I plugged the Garmin in to a USB port on the back of the PC Sync up the DB. It came up with a "New Hardware Found , do you want to install the driver" . I said no , unplugged the Garmin and plugged it into a front USB port like I usually do .... NOTHING happened. I tried to turn it on but it wasnt responding. Tried several times to no avail! I wa resigned to sending it out for repair but what would I do without it! This morning I was looking ta the Garmin Web info and was getting ready to call, tried the Garmin one more time and presto ... came up with " Lo Battery". It took a few hours to fully charge and it was fine!

30K today

Did a 30K LSD today, good quick pace ... Garmin says 30.0K -517 /+508m, 5:18 pace, avg HR 150 BPM.

Fit the run in between sleeping and Noah's birthday party. I didn't have more then a 3 hour window. I decided to take a new route, figured it would turn the 23K into about a 27K run. Headed down the 2nd, instead of heading into Durham I headed west on the Edges Rd, past hwy 6 the south on the 2nd of Bentick. Ended up on Highway 4 at Interforest and then headed through town then back up the 2nd.

Had 500 ml Gatorade, and a Chocolate GU. Waited until 16K to take the Gel, the whole run was fairly balanced energy wise , never felt a big fatigue. Didn't have the shallow breathing feeling either .... could have easily gone the extra 11.2K for a full. This is a good confidence booster for the Waterloo full in 5 weeks. I was tired and had kept the heart rate at a high rate , 150 bpm. I had more gas in the tank... pushing it I could have probably made the 2:30 mark for the 30K but I wasn't racing today.

Not sure what I am up to tomorrow but I suspect and easy 10 , maybe 17 or.....

6K indoors

Just a little 6K at a 5:00 pace in the Gym at the end of my shift tonight. I was going to go further but the I was feeling a little tired , being that I have an LSD planned for tomorrow I shut it down.

Getting lite

New shoes today , same as old Asics only a half size bigger. Took them on the treadmill tonight for an 8K Run , 5K at 5:00 pace then 3K at a 4:30 pace.

Weighed in after the run, its official I am no longer a Clydesdale ... 178.8 lbs. Last few times I weighed in its been in the high 170s, haven't been 180+ since January.

I am also on a no beer kick , I will try to hold out for another week and a bit before deciding if it helping me any. I would love to get down to 175 for the summer.

Jogging

Felt a little fatigued this morning but the weather was just too nice not to take it outside. Decided to be kind to the heart , did a 10K keeping the HR to 130 BPM..... I averaged 129BPM with an avg pace of 9.4 kmh! There were some pretty decent hills , +279/-269 m.
