Regular sunday morning group run with a 3km warm up and 7 km partial group run. Bailed out during the 4km of the group run because I couldn't stand one runner. She started the run with a very obnoxious comment and didn't stop there. By the 4k, I was breathing hard but couldn't stand her comments any longer. So, I bailed and went for the remaining 3km by myself. The most enjoyable run. Don't worry about what others think. If you can't stand them, then leave.

First ice climb of the 2010 season. Yeay! Worked on having the right gear, right movement and technique. Just trying to remember what I did last year.

Outdoor run. Paid no attention to pace or time. Just set the 10/1 alarm on and go according to that. Ran down to Cherry beach, Leslie Street and back. Reward was shrimp dumplings. A most enjoyable route before the Pan-Am / West Donland development. I was glad that Toronto has the Pan-Am 2015 Games but I also savour the peace and quiet from the lack of development at the moment. This will not be so after the athlete village so I will enjoy the isolation while I can.

My favourite runs are these zen runs where I just set the 10/1 alarm and run. I need to get back to that and not pay too much attention to pace, workouts, nutrition or anything that is measurable. I don't do it for speed, but to motivate others to go beyond their perceived limits, for self-exploration, and to explore the city/environment.

I should enjoy running because I can.
