Event: Cambridge Urban Adventure Race
 

Well I made it.

Ran along the Bruce from Guelph line to Dundas and back. My plan was when I got to Dundas to find a convienence store and buy some water for the return trip.

Starting out my legs felt tired so I tried to take it easy, but I was eating a lot of food. Arrived in Dundas in 2:50, found a store and bought water, a coke and a tone of snacks. Started back, but was feeling tired. At about the 4 hour mark i felt really worn out so took some time to walk and ate about 600 calories. I struggled from there, but things got worst in the last 4 or 5 km because I was out of water, I hadn't even drunk all my bladder on the way there. In the end, I ended up walking a fair bit of the last few km, thus the slow time after the turn around. This was a good route with lots of climbs and some good distance. I will probably do the same route next week.

C • Nice work 12

Proud poppa moment this morning when Aubrey rode her bike all the way to daycare. She's has a push bike that I bought for her when she turned 2 and she has refused to touch it until 1.5 weeks ago and all of a sudden she loves riding it. So I agreed to let her ride it to day care. It's about 1.5 km and luckily mostly down hill. I figured we'd get half way and she'd be tired/bored from the ride and want to stop, but she never showed any sign of stopping, well except when there were pretty flowers she needed to show to me along the way.

I got up early this morning to do a TRX workout, but got delayed starting taking care of some stuff around the house. Sure enough 1 min after I started the workout Aubrey appeared out of her room because she needed something. I tried to convince her to go back to bed, but she wasn't buying it. Workout over.

So worked out at lunch in the gym instead.

Kristen was nice enough to allow me to get up at 5 am to run this morning since I can't run at lunch or after work.

Just an easy, steady run along the trails.

Running along the Grand River pulling my friend. My legs were pretty tired at the end and had that feeling where they pulse with soreness. Means it was a good workout.

Weights in the gym.
