Happy to say I reached and surpassed my running goals for the month (not by much, but hey its a win in my book). 168k run with 5,645 meters climbed! Today’s run was a quick 10k up some extremely steep road. I took a paved road up a different side of my usual mountain and… Continue reading End of month run! Look a mountain! And another poem!
Another amazing spring like day with clear skies and no pollution; perfect day for a run! Nice snow capped mountains in the background. That’s where the snow belongs not on my roads. Had a nice long run, no great speed just happy to get out there. Lots of people out today, walkers, runners, dog walkers,… Continue reading Spring in February! 21k! Poem!

Today’s very big number: 892 meters climbed!! My goal for the month is 5,000 and I am… Continue reading Montagne mercredi! Le très big montagne! Poem!
Lots of free time in February, more opportunities to go on crazy hard runs and lovin’ it. Blue skies, nothing but blue skies… 16k with 700 meters climbed in 2 hours. Trying to create different looking graphs, not sure what this looks like. SRG?? Planning an extra hard/long/climby run for Wednesday!! Woot! Did somebody say… Continue reading Montagne Monday!
Let’s start with the good part. I am home, showered, and sitting in my comfy chair watching Dr Who. I have also made my yummy hot chocolate with peanut butter a la Canadienne because everything tastes better with maple syrup, RIGHT!? I had some in the cupboard and thought why not add a little sweetness… Continue reading 21k slog! Attack of the thorn bush! Hot chocolate, eh!? Poem.
Oh my goodness, I love my mountain runs!! Today was perfect in terms of weather, free time and my legs felt great to boot! I added a third loop to Monday’s run to make a different graph. Each time I completed a loop I said “one more!” of course after three it’s a good idea… Continue reading Super mountain run! Beer! Poem!
Monday mountain day!! Here’s my favourite graph, I post it whenever I do this double loop because everybody gets a chuckle out it. To me it’s just a couple of peaks on a mountain but some people see something else in it. 😉 Anyway, 14 or so kms with 667 meters climb makes for a… Continue reading Mountain fun run! Wet paint!
Just for fun I copied this idea from another blogger to see how far I ran last year. I made it Lisbon!! Any further and I would have to swim. Thanks to nikstergirl for this.
What an awesome run this turned out to be! The sun was out, temperatures up and my legs were on fire! It’s funny how sometimes you can tell from the very bigging of a run that you are going cloud skipping vs plodding through wet cement. I wore shorts for the first time of the… Continue reading Sub 2hr 21k! Approving cat! Feeling jazzy!
No work today, not a good thing but at least I got myself out for good run. Temperatures are much better these days, around 5°C (40F?) and no more snow or ice on the ground. Yay for that! Wasn’t sure how far I could push myself but by the time I reached the halfway mark… Continue reading Two runs! Sleeping beauty! New favorite hot beverage! Poem!
