Yet another 2:30 is am run

One good thing about running at 2:30 am is that it gets me 30 minutes closer to 08:00 am!!!

Logged yet another 5K run at a 5:30 pace this morning.

Spring Run Clinic



It was the first night of the Saugeen Tri Club Run Clinic and I have returned to Flesherton as a Run Leader again. There is a really good turn out and I was quite surprised at how many constant runners and the amazing trail pace they held. We logged 5K at an average 8:04 pace.

Ditto yesterday

5K @ 5:30 @ 02:30 more or less just like yesterday.

Its 2am and I am running

Working mids and ran at 2:15 am. Like that's what I really want to do in the we morning hours. Strangely enough once I get going I enjoy it! So it was 5K at a 5:30 pace this morning.

Spent 90 minutes in the Hot Tub before work. Changed my mind on Sulphur Springs , original plan was 100 miles , I decided to do 50 miles instead. It will save me $300.00 and 1.5 vacation days, I will start and finish the race the same day, I don't have to buy batteries, I won't have to walk 60km after running 100km, I can actually run 50 miles ( well sort of) , besides I have already done the 100 miler at Sulphur. Ironically I am probably in a better position training wise then I was last year at this time but that neither here or there.

By the way ...if someone out there is willing to replace my salary for the next decade and make up the difference in my pension losses I will run a 100 mile race every month for the next decade. Oh yea and I need them to cover my T&L expenses too!

Perfect



It doesn't get any better ...

Sunshine, 10C, light breeze made for a rather perfect day for a trail run. A few Ks in the shirt came off and I was quite comfortable. Legs had lots of pop o them and it made for a speedy day covering 14.6K in 1hr34min an avg 6:27 pace. Mids tonight so most of what I do over the next week will be indoors but with the longer days I just may be able to take it outside.

First April Run



Its very fitting that the first run in April is on the Trail. Managed to squeeze one in today covering 11.2Ks on a foggy cool afternoon. Left the music at home and just enjoyed the hush of a foggy day.

March Totals

March 304.2km
YTD 880.6km

It was a funny month, first 2 weeks were longer runs and the final two weeks were all short with the exception of ATB. Another thing that set this month apart was the fact that I was running outside. Did a total of 28 Runs 9 of which were outside.
