Take THAT snowy, blizzardy, shitty May weather.....3 hours of trail running in the mountains. NOTHING was going to stop me from running today. I feel like I've been couped up all week. Had a very awesome run up towards Aylmer Lookout. We had to stop just before the top because of snow (story of my spring) but the lower trail was dry and quiet and beautiful. Great company - Monica and Suzy. I finally feel like the fitness is settling in. I was able to run hard for the whole 3 hours, including the uphills, and still felt fresh at the end.
New set, but I'm supplementing with some of my favourites from the previous 6 weeks. Has it been six weeks already? I can sure notice the difference in my running, but alas, I'm still a long way from being an abs magazine covergirl!
Note
May 27 and its snowing. That has got to be one of the biggest running de-motivators possible. Rain, sleet and freezing temperatures.......where is summer?? I'm retreating to bed.
Couldn't be stuffed. My fingers wouldn't grip at all...... I used up all my gripping trying to hold onto the mountain bike handles during the technical portion of the AR. MUST LEARN HOW TO RIDE.
Trekked up to Garibaldi Lake and into an other-worldy winterland. Deep deep snow made for difficult going. Was hoping to scramble Black Tusk but we are about 2 months too early I think. I'm not sure what we were thinking, actually.
