Racing..

For the second day, I pushed myself to do a solid tempo run. Did Ontario Place and back, 6K in total. Will try to fit in two more runs before vacation and yes, I will pack my running gear.

Did a 10K city route, which means at the 6K mark, somewhere around Spadina and Bloor, I hit my 500K for the year, give or take a few K.. okay, maybe more than a few.

Anyways, i've run most of them in these training shoes.. and they still look brand new.

Now back..

..to our regularly scheduled running blog.

Last week's total: 16K
Year to date as of last Sat: 488K

Anyways, the weather has changed dramatically since I last went out (a whole seven days ago..) A week ago, I had the trails mostly to myself, much like the entire winter. Today, it's crowded.. At least 15 runners were out there.. Which is good, cause I can chase down slower runners and have faster runners blow by me.. Did the Ontario Place 6K and back. Wicked run.

My calves, however, are hurting.. Lesson learned: standing all day in nice looking shoes that have no support is one thing, deciding to cap the long day with dancing in those supportless shoes is a whole another matter.

Back on the road. lots of mileage to make up this week cause I'm off to Paris/Berlin/Nice as of April 1 for two weeks. Now I have to fit in running in Paris.. ah, the life.

Excuses

The worst running week in awhile.. i think I ran 16K last week..

anyways, my excuse? well, the picture says it all. Sean and Caroline's wedding, and most of my close friends were in town for the night. More pics to come

Coldplay in Toronto

Not a running post, I know. In fact, I didn't run today. Instead, my brother took me to see Coldplay! Wicked concert. I'll put up real pix tomorrow (even have video/audio). For now, a picture
