Paddle / Run

Up at 5:00 am ,  on Guelph Lake by 09:00am, off the Lake by 1:00pm,  at work before 3:00 pm in just enough time to log a 10K Run before starting work at 4:00 pm.  A pretty darn good day I would say!

Little Trail

 Did a shorter local loop today running with my Niece Justine.  She is over at Meaford and had the weekend off so she was spending time with us.    It rained heavily this morning so the run was a little muddy ,  a bit slippery and quite humid although not overly hot.   We logged a total of 7.7K in 1hr1min. 

Bruce Trail - Blantyre to Walters Falls - June 15, 2012

Logged another 4.5 hours on Bruce Trail yesterday and covered 26.3K. Did a section from Blantyre to a little NW of Walters Falls. I have never been on thsi section before and this is the beginning of a series of 5 runs that will end up finishing in Owen Sound. This was a solo endevour and I captured lots of interesting moments on video. I will put together a montage and post it at a later date.

Lunch Run

Last lunch run of the week ,  thank goodness.   5K logged at a 5:30 pace ....

Bruce Trail around Walters Falls tomorrow!  

Running not blogging

 Had a solid trail run last night.  Logged my usual 11.2K route again ... forgot to turn my Garmin on but i was moving along pretty good.  Felt incredibly solid  and the cooler air made for a refreshing change.

 Jumped on the treadmill at lunch today for 5K run at a 5:30 pace.

Sweating Rock Run

 Didn't run the Bruce today!  Was at emerge in Hanover last night because of  my wife's migraine. Didn't get home until after midnight  so I wasn't up on time and didn't want to wander to far today.   Intentionally waited until the afternoon wanting to take advantage of the nearly 30c weather.   It wasn't bad in the forest but the exposed areas were a real killer.  Ran 10K walking some to the steep hills.  Walked the last K around the back of my property.    It was so hot today that the big buried rocks with small exposure were all sweating.   

Logged a total of 11.4Ks

Rest day tomorrow!

Working towards Niagara

 With Niagara looming it was time to lace up the new Mizuno Road shoes and take advantage of the warmer more humid conditions.   Headed out with a 5:30 avg pace goal and more or less maintained it through 20K before falling off pace.  Logged a 22.7K run at an avg 5:38 pace with a 300m warm up and 700m cool down for a total of 23.8k today.

 It was 20-24C ,  quite humid with a stiff W SW Breeze.   At times it wasn't too bad but  occasionally the cooling breeze was blocked and I was exposed to the Sun making things really heat up.   Only drank 1.5 bottles of water and didn't consume an calories...I am pretty sure the lack of food caught up with me near the end of the run. 

 Trail tomorrow,  going to try to hit the Bruce in the Walters Falls area.  Want to be on the trail by 6:00 am ...its going to be a hot day.
