Weekend
More or less starting over when it comes to building some volume. The weather was horrible over the weakened so I opted for the treadmill at work. Logged 16 km , that's 15 km at the 6:31 pace followed by a 1 km walk. Passed the time watching the Jays beat the Yanks from Dunedin. Planning two more long ones, 21 and 26 km ahead of the Grand Canyon fun run. If the weather is decent I will take it outside otherwise it will be the treadmill. I wanted to go longer Saturday but decided not to push it with the chest injury. I am pleased to report that its more or less in the rear view mirror and its not going to hold me back from the longer ones any longer.

Friday
Last day of the work week today. I logged another 5k at a 6:31 pace. It felt fast at first , felt warmer as I went along and of course it took less time to complete!

Picking it up!
I was 2k into the lunch run and I decided there was no reason not to pick it up a little. Went from a 7:00 / 8.5 kph to a 6:31 / 9.2 kph pace. I was well on my way to my 6:00 goal before my ski trip at the start of the month. Coming back with a chest injury and some very uncomfortable running a couple of weeks ago I started over at a 7:30 pace. I am almost 100% for running again, still a little pain. Sneezing is still very painful but improving too. On Eves again next week so it will all be a 6:31 pace! Hope to get a 2 hour run in either Saturday or Sunday ...got to be out of doors but then again it may be the treadmill!
