6K Run #2

Today I ran 6K in 46mins.  I am pretty happy with this time and felt that this run went much better then Thursdays.  Tomorrow I have a 22K run scheduled, but looking at the route it looks to be closer to 23K.

12.9K Run

I am a little late posting my run from last night, but I lost track of time watching Dance Moms!  Last night I ran 12.9K in just under 2hours with the running group.  This is a bit slower then what I would like, but I skipped a 9K run on Tuesday due to feeling crappy.  I felt really good on my run, just slow.  I might have also been favouring my foot a bit, but I didn't have any foot pain at all!  This was suppose to be a Tempo run, but my Garmin would not pickup a signal.  This is the route we took:
12.9K/8.1M
west King
x bridge
north bike path
west Riverview
west Evergreen
south thru Tunnel
west Terry Fox PW
west Maurice Chapman PW
Turn around as you enter Springbank Park
Start your Tempo at this Turn around point

Happy St. Patrick's Day!
