Week total: 51km
May 6, 2007 [8am]
32kms in 3hrs 27mins … the last 6kms tough. We ran the first 10 on the road and then 22 on a trail. It was a nice change but I could feel the difference in my legs! The nice part was the end, Maria, Grace, Angela, Mom, Dad, Tom, Nancy, and Emma were at the finish to watch us come in.
That’s the last 32km before the marathon, which is 3 weeks!

I am starting to wake up now at 6am … must be all the early morning runs. I missed my run with the group last night, schedule conflicts seem to keep coming up on Wednesday evenings – jeeesh! So this morning, even though I had a lot to do before taking Grace to school for 8am, I decided to head out for 20 mins … better than nothing. I did the 3km route in 17mins. I felt good, strange really – such a short run!
32km coming up on Sunday … can’t wait! Turkey at Mom’s after!!

I missed my run this morning so when I had a chance to head out this afternoon, I took it. 10k in 53mins. Even though I was on my own, it was great to be out there. I was ready for a nap after all day but once I finished my run … I felt great!

It has been almost a week since my oh so awesome run …. so this morning when I woke up, dragged my bones out of bed … thanks to Blood Diamond, I was up way too late … got dressed, and laced em up. Even as I was walking to my starting point, I was not sure how I was going to get going. The good news is I have been running enough that when I got to the stop sign, my feet knew what to do.
I ran a well paced 6km – in the fog and misty rain. There were some other runners out, good mornings and hellos … just good to be out at it again.
This weekend will be out last 32k before the marathon. Lots of rest, eating well and sleeeeeeeep!
