Fitting One In

12K done after my First Aide Course in  today.   Wanted to run a bit further but my neck was a bit stiff and sore after getting rear ended at a Red Light in Hanover this morning.  There is nothing quite like starting your day with a rather violent bump only to be told by the person that inflicted the pain " I only looked down for a second".   Glad I was in my car and not on foot!!!!!    How someone can miss two cars stopped at a RED Light is beyond my imagination then again it was probably her "96" hard at work!!!!!!   On a positive note it was my first trip ever in an Ambulance...tried to get Sirens and Lights but it was a no go.   The world sure looks different when your strapped onto a backboard with a neck brace ... all voices and and lights but no faces.    Unfortunately I didn't get any  bonus marks at the First Aid Course!

Back to Work

5K@5:30 pace today at lunch. Would have rather been running outside!

It had it all , well almost!

The only thing missing from todays Run was Sun!  I was either in warm humid air or running in a walk in refrigerator.   Then the Baseline was flooded in 4 spots and  my Gortex Shoes filled with water ...hey it was only another 10K to go to Home!  The the wind picked up and it got dark and there was a sudden torrential downpour!!!   Had my Ron Hill tied off at my waste so I was able to take shelter.  Couldn't decide if I was wet from sweat or perhaps the rain.  Jacket came off after the rain let up then it was so foggy I couldn't see further then a few meters.  I took the same route as yesterday and toyed around with the idea of going another 5-10K but decided nah ,  opted for the Hot Tub and Beers instead!   Logged 17.K at a little faster 7:22 pace.   All and all a very worthwhile outing and the right kind of weekend with PYP looming in 13 days.

Not Quite and LSD

Took it outside today.  Looped up the Baseline then back down the 2nd logging 17.1 Ks at an avg trail 7:30 pace.  Was goign to do some hill repeats in my back yard but there is still too much snow.  Did the up and down logging another 700 meters for a total of 17.8 K today.  

Treadmill again

5K at lunch today.  Looking forward to some LSD this weekend.

Same as yesterday

Logged another 5K@5:30 pace at lunch today.   Dreaming of trails now!
