South Huron 8K Trail Run

On Saturday I ran the South Huron 8K Trail run in 1:01:21.  This is 2 minutes faster then last year!  It was really hot and I forgot how hilly the course was.

South Huron 8K Trail Run

Today I ran the South Huron 8K Trail Run in 1hour and 3mins.  I am happy with this as I shaved 2mins off my 8K time from Friday night's race.  It was much cooler this morning for the run and the trail was really nice to run on.  Someone at the start at the race mentioned that the trail was fairly flat.  They lied.  It was not flat, pretty hilly if you ask me.

Tonight I also made a blueberry smoothie to take to work the next two mornings.  This is the recipe:
1 cup of fresh blueberries
8 ounces of yogurt
3/4 cup of skim milk
2 tablespoon of sugar
1/2 teaspoon of vanilla extract
1 tablespoon of protein powder
pinch of nutmeg

This is my schedule for next week:

Monday: Rest Day (I think I will check out a group class at Goodlife)

Tuesday: 5K Run

Wednesday: 4K Run

Thursday: 6K Run with Running Group

Friday: Rest Day

Saturday: 4K Pack Run

Sunday: 10K Run with Running Group (we start at 7am :( )

Go the Distance 8K Race

Tonight was the Go the Distance 8K Race.   I ran it in 1hour and 5mins.  A little slower then I was hoping.  The course started at TD Waterhouse Stadium and looped through Western University and the surrounding neiboughood with the finish on the 50yard line on the football field.  I enjoy anytime I get to run through the University.

 I have the South Huron 8K Trail Run on Sunday so I hope to trim maybe 5mins off my time at that race.

7.98K Run

Today I ran 7.98K in 1hour and 6mins.  I switched my runs around this weekend as I am going to a friend's house tonight so I figured doing 4K tomorrow with a little alcohol in my system will be a a lot easier then 8K.  Last night I picked up a Runner's Remedy Shin Sleeve to see if it will help with my shin pain.  It is a compression sleeve with a pocket for an ice pack.

Today I registered for the South Huron 8K Trail Run in June.
