All kinds of love for Red Dad (Working on my hydration when I’m not running) #reddad #redlove #clique
Another throwback Thursday. Trail running. Taking a break to cool of at the falls.
"Running is a sanctuary for me. It keeps me centered. I can’t take my cell phone or my computer. I can be unavailable and completely selfish."
Tanna Frederick
"The first person you have to inspire every day is yourself. Running will do that."
Marc Parent
Solid 6km run in the rain. Get some
"When I forget who I am, I remind myself by finding my stride"
Kristin Armstrong
"That’s the thing about running: your greatest runs are rarely measured by racing success. They are moments in time when running allows you to see how wonderful your life is."
Kara Goucher
Solid 6.5 km evening run on the Ottawa Canal
9km recovery run in 42 mins and 14 seconds. Getting my swag on.
Trail running in the beautiful sun.
I can’t feel my legs.
I joined my running club for the first time since getting back from law school and I quickly realized I’m nowhere near the shape I need to be in. We did a speed work out tonight—A ladder workout:(5km race pace=5:45 min/mile pace)
1 min @ 5km race pace,1 minute easy jog,
2 min @ 5km race pace, 1 minute easy jog,
3 min @ 5km race pace, 1 minute easy jog,
4 min @ 5km race pace, 1 minute easy jog,
5 min @ 5km race pace, 1 minute easy jog,
6 min @ 5km race pace, 1 minute easy jog,
5 minute min @ 5km race pace, (I dropped here before I was able to finish)
I ran with the elite group and I couldn’t hang on to finish the work out. I mean I probably could have finished but I was hurting bad. The run ended up being about 11 kms in total. I’m seriously going to work my ass off this month before I start working to get myself back into race shape.
Run long and Prosper!
"What distinguishes those of us at the starting line from those of us on the couch is that we learn through running to take what the day gives us, what our body will allow us, and what our will can tolerate."
John Bingham
Back running the beautiful trails in Ottawa (55 mins in 7:20 min/mile pace)
"Running is not, as it so often seems, only about what you did in your last race or about how many miles you ran last week. It is, in a much more important way, about community, about appreciating all the miles run by other runners, too."
Richard O’Brien
"I run because it’s so symbolic of life. You have to drive yourself to overcome the obstacles. You might feel that you can’t. But then you find your inner strength, and realize you’re capable of so much more than you thought."
