More Running

Missed a couple of days of updates.

Last week Friday got nearly another hour in, from the house headed West to Nose Hill Park and got on the bike path, followed the bike path North to the Sun building and then across Deerfoot trail and then on the bike path again south past the deerfoot side of Fox Hollow Golf course, across the train tracks and then North again to the Fox Hollow Club House at 32nd Ave. and then back. Wasn't really feeling all that great but managed to do 10R, 1W, 10R, 1W, 5R, 5W, 10R, 1W, 5R, 5W, 10R (R=Run, W=Walk) to finish up back at the house. No idea about distance but heart rate was manageable. The trip out was not too bad all downhill but the trip back of course in all uphill. Arrrghhh.

On Sunday met with Chad again for a work out. I am really loving the new gym and the new work outs. Keeps Chad on his toes coming up with new ways to beat the *(&(*^ V out of me without machines and keeping the heart rate up as well. The travelling planks were a bitch but the variety and pace are exciting. Funny that I arrived early and Chad arrived on time, saw the car but couldn't find me as I decided to spare a few minutes and get warmed up by running West from the gym to about 22nd or 24th street and back, about 10 minutes and 1 K.

Last night was very late before I got out (around 7:30PM which is late for me) and although the run felt good I just wasn't into it that late at night. Managed two trips around the neighborhood (again, I have no idea of distance but I will drive it tonight and report) in about 35 minutes. Felt really good on the run and managed 10R, 1W, 10R, 1W, 13R to finish off.
