Bi-Weekly Training Update: No Pain Probably Equals Gain
Week Three of 2022 A whole bunch of easy runs to get me to my goal mileage for the week pre-long runs! I got the mileage I was after, less the 32km I was to do on the weekend, and I was feeling great! I took Monday and Tuesday off due to being so busy.…
Bi-Weekly Training Update: Full Race Calendar Already
First race of the year, Run Ridge Run! I had planned on doing the Coast Mountain Trail Series (CMTR) local to where I am in Vancouver and it is coming to fruition so far. Restrictions and spikes in Covid cases haven’t canceled anything yet. In addition to this, I have six roll forward races from…
It’s Been a While
It’s been a long while since I’ve posted anything. I had many drafts on the go detailing all my running challenges I was doing over 2020, which I still have and aim to finish. But I decided to do a Covid recap instead, as it’s long past the dates of these events. I have been…
Catching Up
I haven’t really been posting. Before I was bit ‘behind’ but this time I stopped for quite some time. I have been running and going for dog walks still, but I needed some time to think about what I am going to do this summer. All races I am aware of have been cancelled and…
Grounded Reflection
April 30th If you take a look at my posting history, you’ll see I didn’t post anything for five days and then, finally, posted my account of the past week in one day. My goal was to post daily throughout the duration of my training as I am doing things daily to help me reach…
Community Is Everything
April 29th Crazy day for me on April 27th! First busy day where I was ‘running around’ in a long time. I’m starting to go back to work in the office as there are so few of there and all don’t go out much as is. I’m sure we’ll be safe if we practice good…
Scheduling Rest Days
April 26th I took a complete rest day on April 25th and gave myself the permission to do whatever I wanted with no to-do list. It was quite relaxing (go figure) and I will definitely be scheduling more of these days. Maybe as half days, I still struggle to do ‘nothing’. Long run day of…
Pyramid Training – Not The Illegal Kind
April 24th I went into the office today to grab more work for myself. No one was there and that used to upset me working all alone frequently, but now I am happy to leave the house and focus in solitude. No pets or partner to distract me. Very peaceful morning. My run this evening…
Recovery-Not So Smooth
April 23rd Interesting run today. Just a recovery run, with my dog. Nice slow pace, lovely views, and then… Oh. My stomach felt bit upset… I’ve never experienced that before. My other friends have discussed their experience and it’s never crossed my mind as being a concern as we’re usually out in the trails. Always…
Sunshine On My Rainy Day
April 22nd I couldn’t be happier. That course I didn’t get a qualified grade for, or so I thought? I got it. I freaking got it. My run was pretty great too. I opened my personal email before logging on to start work this morning and my jaw dropped. An email from my teacher stating…
