Labor Day 2015

I have been  training hard. cycling and running. 
Saturday I am entered  in the Zoo 10km. My goal is to finish. 
The run is in Toronto and I am concerned about getting out to the Zoo for the early start. 

September 3 Thursday

Muggy and sunny day.  Cycled to the "Time Monument". Parked and locked my bike to a park bench. Then ran the waterfront path along to the Holiday Inn  and the same route back to my bike..Approx 5.95km . Tracking by my Garmin 

Happy with my run, as I have not been feeling too great. 
I think I would like to live in an area of Canada where the winters are not as harsh.  Summer 9 months of the year. 


Will try to take some pics and post them.

Monday & the last day of August.

 My goal for 2015 - run 4 races (Events). Ran 2 events in the spring. The Harry Rosen 8km in Toronto  and the Montreal Scotia Bank 5km.   2 down and 2 to go. 
Made 2 decisions. Run the Toronto Zoo 10km on September 12 and the Army 5km on September 20 in Ottawa. Entries are in and travel and hotel  reservations are done. Happppy.

Late afternoon training run. 8.7km. Pleased with the run. 
Don't have a time as my Garmin is not running - working properly.

Time for a walk and then some tidying up in my apt. 

Sunday August 30

Cycled to Lemoyne Point. Ran a 4.km route and Cycled home. 
 It is nice out there. Run path goes thru the conservation area and partly along the lakeshore. 
Perfect late summer afternoon.

 Late afternoon run. 
Distance: 6.87 km. Unfortunately no other stats..  I have tried hard to reset my Garmin. It seems it is cooked / finished. 

I have been reading other blogs. Krista DuChene Running is a great read. And she is one of Canada 's top runners.  Check it out. 

 Books on my night table: I am planning to read ---
The Girl on the Train - Paula Hawkins
The Opposite of Loneliness - Marina Keegan
Blisters and Bliss-  a Trekkers Guide to the West Coast Trail

Wednesday August 26

Got my run done in the late afternoon. 
Distance: 8:05km
Pleased with my run. 
No Run Time - I am havning issues with my Garmin .
Used "Map My Run"  to determine the distance. 

Sunday August 23

Lately I seem to have experienced a number of  disappointments  or   downs. I did not go to Yoga this morning. Was hoping to run the Toronto Island run. I have not been able to  find an affordable hotel. The "Run" coincides with the Toronto Film Festival and rooms prices have more than doubled. Seems unlikely , I will be able to do the run. 
 This afternoon, i got out for a bike ride to LeMoyne Point. Hoping my training will improve. 
 I ran an abbreviated run along the trails and biked home. .
