The weather was perfect for our 2nd annual ugly sweater run today. If anything, it might have been even a tad too warm for these sweaters! First, we ran to Inglewood Dr, aka Kringlewood, the street with all the inflatable Santas. Benson had the best costume. We "ran" into another group of runners so we …

2km time trial #fail
Yesterday we did a 2km time trial. Sadly, I didn't beat my time from March. I was a bit disappointed but I'm trying to tell myself that it really doesn't matter, so just get over it. Like I've said before: I'm not going to the Olympics. Then today, I saw an IG post of someone …
Catching up
Since I haven't blogged about Monday's run, I'll blog about both Monday and last night's run here. Monday I did a 4km pre-run and then did 2x5km loops with the People's Church crew. The first loop, we were basically chasing Dave and, importantly, Rishi kept up with us the whole time! Rishi has improved so …
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 …
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 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. …
