Lunch Run

Day 3 of the new 5:24 pace ...logged another "speedy" 5ker on my lunch break.

New Pace

5K done at a mostly 5:24 pace today on my lunch break.   Running in the Hokas has made the Treadmill more or less a pin free almost enjoyable experience!   Usually this time of year my knees ,  ankles , feet and hips have a tendency to hurt a wee bit!   Running with Hokas has eliminated 90% of what usually hurts.   So that being said I am going to ever so slowly work up to a 5min pace....speed work I woulds say!  

Lunch Run

5K the usual way at lunch today!

The planned then changed then canceled then on again Run.

 Amazed I got out at all yesterday.  Had been planning another long Run at the Y yesterday since the last time. The pan was to meet up with up with Grant and Dan Sat  for breakfast at 08:30 followed by a 6 hour Run.   Tuesday I was asked to work Sat / Sun 8pm to 8am so I toyed with the idea of canceling but instead modified it to breakfast at 10:30 and then a 4 hour Run.   Friday Grant bailed and that Eve Dan advised that he couldn't make it so I decided not to Run.     Saturday morning 10ishI got a phone call that I was no longer needed at work so I thought about doing the Run again after doing some Christmas Shopping in Owen Sound.    Didn't hit the track until 3:15 but had plenty of time to get a long one in before the Y closed at 8:30.    So off I went .... first 2 hours 6:00 pace.   Had a couple of bottles of water ,  a couple of S Caps and a Cliff Bar.   Walked for 1.5K at the 20K mark.   Didn't plan on it but just decided to do it.    Got moving well after my walk back to a 6:00 pace and feeling good.    At 29K I walked again for another K and decided I had other things that I wanted to do so after just shy of 3.5 hours and logging 30K I called it a day.

Ski then Run

First...just because it better then watching paint dry!

After Skiing the afternoon away  I was feeling a bit guilty that I had not  Run so I threw on my lights and headed out the door for a little out and back on the 2nd.   Logged 10K in my bubble of light.   I was way more comfortable then yesterday wearing my Super Nova Gortex and an extra layer up top a light weight long sleeve tech T over my Thermal Shirt.   I was a wee bit warm but overall much more comfortable with the light second layer up top.   Did feel that pressing cold or chills through the Shell.

Small Trail

8.5k in just a little over an hour on the trails around home today.  Conditions were really crunchy ...just a skiff of snow made for some pretty good traction.  The wind was bitting cold and yes I was cold and would have far more preferred running at 30C!!!!!   How many more months of cold weather running ...BLAH!  

Lunch Run

5K done the usual way at lunch today.
