a run and a round of golf

/ hoodieruns / Leave a comment

wednesday morning I ran before work (for once!) on the grand river trail.

distance: 4.77M (ran to the last bulge before the bend in the river)
time: 47:18
pace: 9:56/M
cal: 538
shoes: red sauconys

wore my new ankle nike socks… terrible. they’ve shrunk since washing them and my foot didn’t have enough space, resulting in nasty hot spots. ended up taking off my one sock altogether to be able to spread out my toes. generally I felt good. no ankle/foot/IT band pain. was starting to drag by 3M. it was humid and I hadn’t eaten or drank anything before going out. felt better once it started gushing down rain. I’m really glad I ran since it felt awesome and I was really hungry for breakfast at the end!

last night we golfed 18 holes. I pulled my clubs in a pull cart. would have preferred to have carried my clubs but didn’t realize we were walking and brought my cart bag. that’ll learn me! thanks to DS and MS for the round and the ‘tub afterwards! p.s. MIAMI!!

this weekend we’re heading home to goderich for a wedding and some much needed rest. am taking the running gear so should get at least two runs in: saturday or sunday and monday.

and… another nooner!!!

garmy came with me for help on this one.

same route as monday and wednesday (minus the 3x hill sprints on wed).
distance: 2.32M
time: 19:57
pace: 8:37/M
calories: 261

lickety split fast! way faster than monday. no pain, felt good. I’m happy that I seem to have refound my running mojo. taking it easy this round and not going to jump into any 2+ hour runs any time soon but a 1/2 marathon this fall might be a-okay! wore my red saucony triumphs. they might be just the shoes for me.

tomorrow I am going to get in a run before leaving for a jack and jill later on in the day. the weekend is looming as a black hole of alcohol and food consumption. chugging my water today :o)

also, please send good weather vibes to Goderich for tomorrow. I’ve got a friend getting married on the beach and really it would be one less stress item if the weather could be awesome for it.

best AMcG and soon to be Mrs. AMcG!

slacker!

yesterday was an oops. I didn’t get my ass outside at lunch for a run. thanks DS for the pita lunch though. I owe you a couple beer tonight after footie. not that you’ll read this since you “can’t stand this blogging and ‘tweeter’ shit.” hahaha! I also failed to do a p90x workout or cram a run in after work last night. babysitting was fun though and I did chase MN all over the house.

to compensate I’m running at lunch today. I was thisclose to running this morning but then I over thought it and decided to hit snooze 4 times. bad news. that’s lazy. need to get back in the habit of not using the snooze button.

purchased trail shoes this morning yay!

look for a nooner post later on.

snuggle buddy

last night I had a snuggle buddy. isn't she sweet?

this morning she got ME up by playing voraciously with a plastic bag at 4:30. then she got me up at 5:40 by sniffing my face, putting all her weight on one paw, licking my feet, and if that didn't get her the attention she wanted, she got on the bedside table and started chewing books or knocking things off the table. brat.

I just can't stay mad at her though… just look at that face.

nooner – the running kind you dirty pervs

distance: 3.73km

time: 21:10

pace: 9:07/M or 5:41/km

notes: I felt pretty good but man do I sweat! it’s gross! I had a freezing shower at CLHC and I was still sweating walking out to the car afterwards. injuries felt ok. wore the saucony triumphs that the physiotherapist suggested I wear over the nikes. was supposed to do this run this morning but I stayed up too late and didn’t get my ass out of bed. instead, I got the run in at lunch. hoping to get ME and I going in p90x tonight. took my measurements (ew) and weight (triple ew) this morning.

group run in NW Waterloo

ran some trails out in NW W’Loo last thursday. awesome!

time: 45:20
distance: ~4M
pace: ~10:30/M
notes: great run! the trails we were on were hilly and challenging. it was cooler in the shade of the forest. ran in my nikes which I learned later that night are part of my overuse injuries problems. apparently I need a bit more of a stiffer shoe. ME, JB and I went up and down and around and then back to JB’s place. thanks for the good run guys! this is my new, new favourite place to run since it is longer than my old new favourite place but unfortunately it’s a 10min car ride across town… possible fix is bike to JB’s and then run and bike home.

later on thurs night I had my gait analysis done. found some interesting stuff. I guess decision on orthodics will wait until after my physiotherapist gets back from the Tour de France.

played footie on friday night approx an hour of playing time.

then I was lazy and a bad eater all weekend.

in better news… ME got me P90X!!!! so I’m going to check that out tonight. I’m hoping to get a run in before going to the driving range tonight and then p90x when I get home.
