Domingo and I ran together again. We did a 5k pre-run and then ran to Edwards Gardens and back. We lost the ninjas along the way but it was nice to go at a slower pace for the 20k distance. It started raining half way into the run which was really refreshing. When we got …

Green Monster on Repeat
We decided to slay the Green Monster again...3 times! At first, I was like, "What was I thinking? This hill is so long! Whose idea was this?!?!" After one rep, I thought, "Okay, that wasn't too bad. I can do this again." After the second rep, I told myself, "Just one more. You can do …
Running around and around
Last night was intervals around Maureen Parkette. Warm-up run, 7 loops around the Parkette, cool-down run. I brought all my running clothes to work but forgot a hat and sunscreen. Fail again. 😒 I keep on telling myself that I have to push harder on the fast intervals and slower on the recovery to get …
Running in a sauna
Hello Week 15 of my 20 week training plan! Yesterday was probably the hottest and 'humid-est' I've ever run in. I feel the heat really affects me so I guess it's good training for TSFM in case it gets really hot toward the end of the race. Since I needed 14km, I did a 7km …
Only 6 more weeks!!!
I just finished week 14 of my 20 week training program! I feel really good about my training so far. I only have 2 more long runs to go: 30km on Canada Day weekend (when I'll be camping again), 32k the week after, and then I'm TAPERING! I'm so thankful to everyone who have encouraged …
I met this guy online…
Well, not that kind of guy! 😄 I'm part of a FB group affiliated with The San Francisco Marathon called The Run Experience. A guy from the group posted that he's coming to Toronto and was looking for recommendations on where to do his 16 mile run. So I invited him to join the Ninjas …
Running Solo… Again
I had to hard reset my watch yesterday because the heart rate monitor wasn't working. When I went for my run today, I couldn't figure out why after 20 minutes of running, I had only run 2 km. Turns out the watch reset itself to the default settings and it was tracking miles instead of …
Running math:(300m+200m+100m) x 4 = one tough workout!
Today's interval workout was hard! I thought I was done after 3 sets but then Jim told us to do another set. 😒 I was already dying at the end of the 3rd set so after the 4th set, I was really dead. Then we still had to run back to the store via the …

Oops I did it again
Amy organized a post-run potluck BBQ for the Monday night People's Church #findyourfit walk/run group. We started at 6:45pm and had to be back by 7:30pm for the food, so I decided to only do 1 loop at a tempo pace. Priorities! Felt really good to do the tempo pace, especially with Dave chasing me. …
Running solo
I did it! I ran by myself for 26km! Ever since we booked our camping trip a few months ago, I started worrying about this weekend. I knew I had to run 26km as part of my marathon training plan but I wasn't sure how I would be able to run it all by myself …
