June 2012 Totals

Only one race in June the Niagara 50K on the 23rd.    

It wasn't so bad ...

 Made the last Run of June 2012 a little bit of a "speed" workout covering 10K at a mostly 5:00 pace.   I was a little hesitant to crank up the pace but it really wasn't all that bad.   Its more of a mental thing when I run faster ,  sure its harder and I breath heavier and I get allot warmer but it really feels good... really good.  Sometimes I think its easier to run faster then to run slow.  

Lunch Run

Mid 4 ,  three to go.   Lack of sleep and an evening of Kayaking  didn't make me feel like running this morning but I did anyway logging 5K again at lunch.

Mid 3

Doing my third of 7 mids  so I just did my  3rd 5K at a 6:00 pace too!

Lunch break

Logged another 5K at a 6:00 pace today on my lunch break.

Running tired

Still  have tired legs from Niagara.  Working mids , #1 of 7 tonight so I hit the treadmill at 02:00 am for a 5K run at a 6:00 pace.  

Ultraspire Trail Test

 Had my first opportunity to try out my new Ultaspire Pack with the 2L Bladder Full.   I really noticed the weight at first but it didn't take long to forget I had it on.  The adjustable chest strap with the big elastic across the back really worked well.  At first I had it too loose and it was moving around quite  but when I added just a bit of tension around the chest it settled right down.  Having so many well thought out places to stick stuff rocks!   Its probably not a race day item but if its going to be 30C weather in Creemore or Limberlost the pack will be worn with a full bladder.

 Logged my first run since Niagara today.  Did an easy 11K at an avg 7:24 trail pace.  I have a bit of quad pain still and have been feeling a bit on the tired and hungry.
