15:1 (x3) ... 900 K reached!

Got in my 15:1 (x3) yesterday (Friday). Opted not to do it on Thursday since I was busy still marking tests for my summer school course I'm teaching. I'm thrilled to have reached the 900 K mark for the year!

Picked up my bib and tech shirt this morning from the Commercecourt Running Room. 10 Miler race tomorrow! Will slow run to the start line tomorrow before racing the race. Will post photo of bib, tech shirt, and finisher's medal tomorrow.

15:1 (x3)

Got in 15:1 (x3) before work, for 6.07 K. Sunny and cool weather. LOVE this summer as I only recall one day that was a humid; the 680 news radio said the "typical, steamy hot summer... yet to hit 30C..." Yeah! YTD = 894.73 K. Will reach 900 K on Thursday's run :-) Need to continue to "up" the mileage as my marathon run is in 2.5 months.

LSD 15:1 (x10) + Pouring Rain!

LSD Saturday morning -- 15:1 (x10) through the Lower Don River Recreational Trail. Not many runners and bicyclists this weekend (when compared to last). Run started with cloudy weather and half way through heard thunder and then very light rain. That turned into pouring rain with 45 minutes to go. I was running faster and was running into puddles -- the shoes were soaking wet. I wore sunglasses and it was hard to see, not to mention the rain on the glasses. I was not happy to be in the trail surrounded by trees with the thunder. Fortunately, I was able to get back to the streets at Queen Street -- eventually the rain became light again. I went into the Eaton Centre to dry myself off with the handdryer. It felt good running in light rain, but pouring rain was not an experience I enjoyed :-| Today = 21.03 K; YTD = 888.66 K.

Can't believe next Sunday is the 10 Miler race at the Distillery District. The finisher's medal is now posted on-line:

15:1 (x3)

Got in 6.46 K before work this morning. A cool morning. I've found a park with a nice view and trail - just had trouble finding it. Need to keep the routine of 3 runs going. Enjoyable...looking forward to LSD on Saturday morning - just need to wake up early! YTD = 867.63 K.

15:1 (x3)

Am keeping to my routine of weekday runs on Tuesdays and Thursdays. Yesterday was the first day of summer school and it's close by my day school, so I run in an area before school that I am familiar with. Got in 5.99 K this morning before work. YTD =861.17 K

LSD 15:1 (x9)

Slept last night with the intentions of beginning the run at 8 AM (after walking the dog). Turns out the run didn't start until about 9:30 AM (oh boy...). Wore sunglasses, a cap, and sunscreen. Wanted a change from the Martin Goodman Trail east to the Humber River Bridge so went to the Lower Don Recreational Trail. A nice view and a good breeze at times. Surprised to see so many bikers and runners on the trail. Was also a bit humid. Got in 18.35 K this morning. YTD = 855.18 K.

15:1 (x3) - Thursday

Not sure why I didn't input Thursday's run -- glad I didn't forget. Trying to think where was the run :-| Anyways, 5.88 K (according to my Garmin).
