The Pinery Provincial Park 10K Road Race

Today was the Pinery Provincial Park 10K Road Race.

My time was 01:16:57.  It was slower then I would have liked but it was a lot warmer and hillier then I was expecting.
The day started out rough with me not being able to find my Nike tech shirt that I wanted to wear.  We finally found it in Steven's camera bag as I had packed it for my last race, the St Marys 10K River Road Run, as I was unsure if I was going to be too warm for a long sleeve short.  When we got to the Pinery it took forever to find a parking spot, and Steven had to drop me at the registration pickup while he parked.

6K Run and 3.1Mile Treadmill Run

Last night I ran 6K in 48mins.  At least I am remaining consistent! 
This afternoon when I got around to my run it was 10 degrees and raining so I headed to the gym.  I did 3.1miles at a 4.7 average speed in 39mins on the treadmill.  The good thing about running at the gym is that I can watch Keeping up with the Kadarshians.  Tomorrow is the Pinery Provincial Park10K Road Race and it is suppose to rain.  Lucky I was able to pick up another pair of running tights from Mountain Equipment Coop today in case it is cool.

Last night I ran 6K in 48mins.  Today I signed up for the 5K Halloween Haunting run.

I decided to only do the 5K as my coworker is getting married the day before and didn't know how I may be feeling the morning after.

5.27K Run

Today I ran 5.27K in 40mins.  It was much colder out today.  I had to break out my running tights and vest.  Tomorrow I have 14K planned.  I think I will go in to work with my hubby and run home.

5K Run

Tonight I ran 5K in 39mins.  It was dark by the time I got to my turn around point which usually takes me under a bridge.  When I got there there was someone walking in the dark so I opted to turn around before the bridge.

5.94K Run

Tonight I ran 5.94K in 49mins.  It was overcast all day which continued for my run.  The highlight of my run was seeing a raccoon as I was exciting the bike path.
