Well, it's been some time since my last post. I did run the Scotiabank 5km run on essentially no base of training whatsoever. I attended with a bunch of colleagues from York University and monies raised were once again directed to a bursary for students with disabilities. I started the race with Mona ... we had a fun time at the start of the race ... eventually I got ahead of her for a bit...only to find myself completely sucking wind...Mona passed me by and was gone for good. Ah well, such is life...it's all about pacing yourself, eh?! Still, I ended the run in around 33 minutes...which isn't too bad for not having prepared.
Today is March 7th and the temperature was 14 degrees...and so I took myself out. I thought my second cold of the season (I had six weeks of illness in the fall that kept me off my feet) and my ailing knees (some inexplicable knee pain that might have arisen from kneeling too long in the course of home renos) might pose a problem, but some walking and light jogging tonight broke the ice. In the end, it was a nice pre-spring "just get out there for 45 minutes and keep moving" kind of installment to what I hope is an excellent and challenging running season.
Note to self: remember to charge the GPS watch next time before the run so you can keep your stats on Garmin. Tonight, estimated distance = 5km; time was around 48 minutes.
More later, but for now I've gotta run...
