Friday...

Was very tired so I did a quick 5K before work. In a week and a day, i'll have my first race of the season, the Sporting Life 10K. Frankly, my knee is feeling weak and i'm not sure I can pour it on for the total distance. I may change a few things, like breaking in my racing shoes, or doing better stretches for my knees, but I feel like I'm more in the half marathon training mode. In short, I don't feel like personal bests are in the cards for the next two weeks. Well, I just run cause I love to do it.... nuff said.

Why I run..

Well, for one thing, I live on the waterfront. I have a great view of the water from my balconey, so when I look out there, I usually see a few runners, cyclists. Yes, sometimes I'm guilted by it. Anyways, today, did the Cherry Beach run, and the pic here is where I started... 10K. waterfront

Sun rising...

Was a chilly morning so I needed an outer shell. Did my 10K on quiet streets, just a few people heading in for work.

Old trails

I've been avoiding my 10K run to the western waterfront, heading toward High Park. Mostly, it's because the city has decided to rip up a portion of the trail and make it into a parking lot.. Well, today, I decided to do it, which meant running about 1K on gravel and grass. Not bad, though. New scenery, a good view of all the rowers out there to train on the calm morning waters. So, I did 10K while favouring my knee.
