With the cooler temperatures outside today (and this evening) and the smoke haze lifted from the air, I decided that I needed to do at least a short run outside tonight. My new decided upon game plan / training plan for the Lemming Loop in October has me not running until tomorrow. So 8 hours into my…

I had planned on trying for an 18-20 mile run yesterday that didn’t happen in the end – lack of sleep kicked me in the teeth again and the heat/humidity would have been pretty brutal anyway. My backup plan was to run this morning instead – I was certainly up early enough (4am? Why?!!) but…

I knew I was going to be trying to do a fair bit of long slow running this weekend so on Friday night I decided I should try a bit of speed work on the treadmill to get that out of my system. I ended up doing 4 miles in 29:59 on the treadmill –…

I managed to get in a couple sets of swimming pool resistance exercises tonight while I was in the pool with our daughter for a while before she went to bed. After she was tucked in I got started on the treadmill – I figured I wanted to go steady and fairly strong to build…

I tweeted it out Sunday night but didn’t get it on the blog – 18 miles yesterday on the treadmill in 2:36:36. I was up early enough to run (darned pups) but was working on less than 4 hours sleep and ended up crashing out again instead. That was at around 5…I ended up waking…

Got on the treadmill tonight a bit earlier than normal tonight – maybe a bit too early. Running that close to supper made me a feel a bit sluggish but overall not too bad, I just needed to make sure I didn’t push too hard and lose it! I basically did 1 min at 7…

Ok – time to suck it up and do a recovery run and assess where my body is after the Manitoba Marathon on Sunday! I figured I would start off steady tonight and plan on doing 3 miles and going faster and / or longer depending on how things felt. So I set the treadmill…

To start with – the Manitoba Marathon was well organized again this year and as always the volunteers were fantastic along the course and at the finish! Another great race put on by the Manitoba Marathon team! —- OK, so the day started off pretty early for me – the pups got me up a…

Last run before the Manitoba Marathon and I felt pretty good. So I am going into the race healthy, which is good and was the main goal after I lost so much training time and endurance back in April and May. So…what is the run going to be like tomorrow? What is my plan? What…

For a while now I have been wondering what I should do with the various limited edition Disney pins that I have purchased over the years for the runDisney Disney World Marathon. I’m not really someone who collects Disney pins (I would rather collect the medals instead of the pins) but I have bought the race…
