Finisher's Medal Revealed!

Been waiting for this! The Toronto Waterfront Marathon finisher's medal has been revealed! The Royal Ontario Museum is a good choice. Now awaiting to hear who will be the speakers at the expo.


28 K LSD

Three runs this week:

* Tuesday = 3 K after work

* Thursday = 2.5 K after work

* Today = 28 K on the Martin Goodman Trail. The last 3 K was difficult - not sure why. Temperature was fall-like on the first day of fall - about 10C to 15C. Yesterday it rained all day so stayed home.

Had a massage Thursday evening - RMT said hamstrings were tight.

YTD = 1231.2 K

32 K LSD today!

Great running weather today. Cool and sunny - no humidity! Slow run for 32 K LSD - took 4 hours 30 minutes. Ran west on the Martin Goodman past the Humber Bay bridge and back. Explored the amazing view of Lake Ontario west of the bridge - never did this before. Run started at 10 AM - a bit late. Legs are tired right now (as they should be!). Happy to have completed the longest LSD needed before the marathon next month.

Also got in 1 run this week - 3 K. Hope to have 2 weekday runs next week.

YTD = 1197.7 K

3 runs this week:

* Tuesday = 5 K after work.

* Thursday = 3 K after work.

* Yesterday = 25 K on the Martin Goodman Trail. It's been a few weeks since running this route. Hot and humid - thank goodness for the clouds. Passed by the CNE. Refilled the water bottle at the water fountain along the route. Drank 1.5 L of water, 700 mL of Gatorade, and 500 mL of the vitamin water (bought at the Shopper's Drug Mart at 23 K) = 2.7 L over the 3.5 hours.


YTD = 1123.7 K
