Sprint #1

Ran around Queen's Circle Park in Toronto last night for a sprint run.

5 x 0.8K with a 150m walk for rest in between.
By the 4th and 5th time around, the pace had already dropped significantly. It definitely wasn't easy to run in the dark either, as the group was uneven, and the smeel from car exhaust and smokers inhabited portions of the track.

July 11th Run

With two hills in the middle of the run, the run took longer than I thought: 57min. Also, with record heat the past week, I wasn't able to fit in a run. Today, at 9-10, it was already warming up quite a bit. What I liked about this route was the section around too good pond, the shade makes a huge difference! and is entertaining enough by weaving in and out.

Saturday Light Run

Here was a really quick run (20-30min) under sweltering weather conditions. (I thought 10:00am would be fine, but not in the summer apparently!) The route did have two minor hills, which were proved to be a fun climb. Hopefully I will find more hills in the neighborhood.

First run for the half.

My first run was planned to be a 10-12K light 1 hr run. But, I was running with a friend, and when you run with a friend, both time and distance quietly creeps up. We ended up running 18K in about 1hr 50min.

A day later, I have developed a "limp" or tight hammies. =) Thank goodness for Runner's pose!
