Inside at Lunch

Did another routine 5K at a 4:50 pace at lunch today!

2 run Wednesday

5K at lunch , 15K after dinner all at a decent pace!

Lunch run was at my 4:50 cruise control!

I didn't throw any wood on the fire after work. Made a quick dinner for the kids and then after the cleanup I headed for old bouncy in the basement! I was pumped , 20C at the ceiling and 17C at the floor! Did 10K at the 4:50 pace then 1K at a 4:40 pace followed by 1K at a 4:00 pace then a 3K cool down at a 6:00 pace.... when I was done I threw some wood on the fire!

Registered for the Trillium 10K today. This will be my 6th consecutive year! I also registered my 9 year old son in the 5K Run ( I think he is hooked ) and my wife in the 5K walk. A woman that I work with entered the 10K in line skate and a friend of my wife entered the 5K walk. The race isn't until May but the price goes up tomorrow so everyone saved a few bucks!

Slower at Lunch

Slowed it back down to a 4:50 pace for 5K at lunch. Right Knee said slow down, the treadmill at work is like running on concrete ... no bounce what so ever!

Lunch run

Working days , picked up the pace a little at lunch. 6K done, 0.5K warm up, 5K at a 4:30 pace then a 0.5K cool down. After running 5 min at a 4:30 pace I did 300m at a 6:00 pace ... it felt like I was walking. From now on at work I will do a 4:30 pace ... unless I am going longer then 21.1 K. At home on Mr. Bouncy it will be slower.... cant wait for warmer weather!

Mr. Bouncy

Thought of a name for the new treadmill ....now known as Mister Bouncy!

A little speed work this eve , 7K done. 1K warm up , 5K at a bouncy 4:50 pace then a 1K cool down.

34 km LSD Saturday

Been a busy week, few unexpected things with the family that made it tough event to run at home. Managed an LSD run yesterday on my new treadmill. I knew it would be tough for two reasons ... the heat and the treadmill. I keep telling myself that the bounce is good ... and it is but it also makes for a tougher run. Its more like running trail then running road. The temp in the basement was 24C, went through 3 bottles of Gatorade and it was probably one too few. Even with a reasonable fluid intake I still managed to dehydrate a bit. This was another run fueled by Gummies ...YUM!

Managed to run for 3hrs15min with a 5min cool down. Covered a mere 34km which is an average pace at somewhere around 5:55min/km. Its the next day that I am blogging the run...legs feel it but I really wasn't to take it outside for a shorter one today. Its Sunny and a balmy -6C so I will see if I can fir it in.

Lunc run..again

5K done , 4:50 pace. Hot the treadmill at the 4:50 pace, no warm up but quickly got into it.
