2nd run again , 2nd day in a row!

Just like yesterday I jumped on the treadmill this evening and did a 7K run at a mostly 5:30 pace.    Calfs are a bit sore and it took me a little longer to feel natural but once I got past the 5min mark I felt like I could run forever.

Trail Tuesday

It may be mid January but the trails are open and I am on them!   Sunny weather ,   a light breeze and temperatures just below freezing made for another pleasant run  today.   Logged 11.3K at a faster 6:58 pace today.

Great Run

I didn't expect it an easy run this eve after 23.6 tough Ks in Creemore yesterday and my 11.3K frigid trail this morning.   However I was pleasantly surprised ... it was easy and I felt like I could hold the 5:30 pace forever.  Stretched out my lunch break a we bit logging a  total to 7 wonderful Ks.  


Creemore follow up...

Followed up yesterdays slip and slide trail with a solid frozen trail run this morning.   -4C, overcast and a strong westerly wind meant ,  2 base layers and a shell.   A little bit warm at times but when I was into the wind I was glad I had the shell.  

Logged 11.3K in 1hr22min

Creemore "Snow" Run

 Pierre and Le Anne held yet another Creemore Fun Run ... they are true amabasadoors to the hobby enabling us to spend countless hours running circles through the forest!

 The "January Thaw" made the Snow Run into a Mud Run.   Temps in the mid single digits and lots of rain over the  past 24 hours made for a rather messy run.   Had visions of sliding uncontrollably into a raging  torrent of water and wondered it would be  Hypothermia or perhaps Drowning  if I fell in!

I was a bit cold at the start but it wasn't too bad after we got going.   Started with a Shell on but it didn't take long to go down to a single layer.   Remained pretty comfortable to a bit warm through the 3hr22min run.

 Ran a bunch of diffferent section of the various Creemore Races logging a total of 23.6K.    Although it was half the distance of the long one last week it felt like twice the effort. I was spent but happy that I was able to get out and Run some January Trail.
