Springbank 1/2 Marathon

Today I ran the Springbank 1/2 Marathon in 2:48:27.  I am disappointed in this time as I was really hoping for 2hours and 45mins.  I am not sure where I went wrong, I was just slower then I wanted to be.

4.19K Run

This afternoon I ran 4.19K in 34mins.  It was cooler out today with a bit of a breeze.  I hope the weather is nice and cool tomorrow for my 1/2 marathon.  Yesterday I picked up my race packet.

5K Run

Tonight I ran 5K in 42mins with the running group.  It was unexpectedly warm.  It was also the last run with the 1/2 Marathon Group for this clinic.  I may continue going and running with the Marathon Group, we will see.  Also, check out Recipe Girl for a Blender Giveaway!

4.24K Run

Tonight I ran 4.24K in 35mins.  Also, tonight I finally sold my old Garmin off of Kijiji for $60.  Not bad!

5.98K Run

Tonight I ran 5.98K in 50mins.  I waited until 8pm to go for my run as it was a very hot day today.  It was still 28 degrees out at 8pm.  It is suppose to thunderstorm tonight so hopefully that will cut the heat a bit.

13.81K Run

This morning I ran 13.81K in 1hour and 59mins with the running group.  It was a nice cool morning.  Hopefully it is nice and cool next Sunday for the Springbank 1/2 Marathon.  This afternoon we went shopping for a new running hat for myself as my old one is really really smelly.  I bought a Nike Daybreak Running Cap for Mountain Equipment Coop,

This is my schedule for next week:

Monday: Labour Day!  6K Run

Tuesday: Rest Day (BBQ after work)

Wednesday: 4K Run

Thursday: 5K Run with Running Group

Friday: Rest Day

Saturday: 4K Pack Run

Sunday: Springbank 1/2 Marathon

5.98K and 4.11K Runs

Last night I ran 5.98K in 51mins.  After my run we went to see The Campaign.


It was pretty funny.
This morning I joined the pack run and I ran 4.11K in 35mins.  The route ended up being a bit shorter then my 5K goal, but it was okay, as I have a blister on my right toe and last night woke up with a charlie horse in my left calf.  This afternoon I have been enjoying a marathon of Gilmore Girls on Much More Music.
