OK, I know, not the most original titles... I'll get better at titles for my posts as I get more comfortable with this!
It does feel a little self serving to be writing a Blog... but I figure I'll mess around with this and it'll fall into some sort of comfortable cadence!
So here we are - second day of 2011! It's been a great day. Had a great run 18 km starting at 8:30 am (a later than usual start for a long run), ran 7 k with my four yr old malamute - Ippon. He's awesome and loves to go for runs. And of course also ran with my regular running partner Shannon. Well, not as regular as we used to be! Given where my current job is located - I have a tough time getting home in the evenings for us to get together regularly.
It really was a great day for a run! The weather cooled down from yesterday and there were the lightest of flurries. The sun eventually started to come out at 17 km!
Headed home after the run and then Graham and I hit a restaurant in the Beaches for french toast and bacon! Yum yum! I think I run for bacon...
All in all a good day - did a bit of backyard clean up and now it's steak time! whoo hoo!
I'm off tomorrow (yeah!) and plan on a bike ride in the morning and a swim in the evening. Should be a good day!
Did a little research last night - found what looks to be a promising swimming clinic for Jan 16th - I can use all the help I can get! Also perused a few online training programmes for Half Ironman. Longest one I found was 20 weeks - which I guess is just shy of five months of training. I will start at it soon! :-) I'll be layering into that maybe a half marathon in early March, 30 K Hamilton Race Around the Bay at the end of March and the Goodlife Toronto Marathon in May. Hm... I'm tired already!
Well - over and out for tonight!
