What a tough week!!!

It's been a really tough week!
It's been too  hot for going for a run in the evening.... I have been swimming instead! :)
I only managed to do one 8km run this week! :(
I will be going on my Sunday long run this week it's 16km!!! Wow!!! I can't believe I can do that!

I should go in the basement on the treadmill tonight to do my hill training (incline)  but once I sit on the cough it's hard to get off of it!

BUT

Starting Monday I will be in a running group with the Running Experience on Paris Street!
I am really looking forward to joining the running group to push me past my comfort zone to increase my speed! It's an 8 week program to help train for a half marathon!

Have a great week-end!
Stay cool!

14km in Niagara? let's see.....

It's been really hard with the warm weather and going away every week-end to keep with the training schedule!

The challenge is making sure I get out there! BUT it's hard!!!

This week-end we will be in Niagara Falls to celebrate Amelia's 7th birthday!
I have to get my iphone app Runkeeper to map out a run in Niagara Falls!

After having the local paper write an article about my venture it's been really nice
to have patients coming in already eager to give a donation for a lovely apple!

Every donation motivates me to keep going and gets me off the couch!

Thank you so much for all the support!

Embrun Old Train Tracks Run

This weeks synopsis:
12km Slow Long Distance in Embrun
3km Tempo in Alliston
5km Hill in Alliston
Total for the Week: 20km

Wow! What a great week-end in Embrun and Ottawa!
We spend the day on Parliament Hill for Canada Day!
Saw a tiny glimpse from far away of the Prince and Princess!
The crowds were brutal! We were there at 7:30 am until 11 pm after the AMAZING fireworks!

So I did my weekly slow long distance run in Embrun!
12 km!!! on this beautiful trail it was shaded and perfect weather!
I just loved it! It was actually funny there was a posted sign "BEWARE of poison ivy along the trail"
so this time I made sure to empty my bladder before I went out!

Have a great week!
