Nine is a Milestone

Check out the poll feature I've added on the right hand column.Since some of you haven't figured out how to add comments, this should be an easier way to determine if everyone's on track. Check it out!

And if you're wondering how I did, yes I fit in three runs and got in my 9km yesterday. When I plotted out my route using Gmaps, it looked a lot longer than I thought it would! I ran the 9km mostly on trail and without a doggy to watch over or a stroller to push, it was sort of freeing. Just me and my heavy breathing! With many long distance events under my feet, it seemed odd to celebrate 9km but it was a milestone for me as I don't think I've run that distance since I was about four months pregnant with Ellie. I thought that I had run 9km in the last year before surgery, but now knowing how long it takes me to run that distance (I'm a whole lot slower!), I can say that this Sunday was a first in a while! I ran on both Saturday and Sunday just to fit in in but the legs feel good. You can read what I was thinking about on my Saturday run here.

So for this week: three runs, one of which should be 10km. Make sure you map out the distance for your 10km route and feel free to run the other two for time (this should be shorter 30 - 45 minutes or so depending on your pace). Keep up with Core workouts and be safe out there!
