Hi, Remember Me?

Wow, has it really been August since I updated my blog?  Looks like it!

What have I been doing since August?

  • Well, I volunteered at Ironman Canada and signed up for IMC2011
  • Ran a PR 1/2 Marathon at the North Shore Half Marathon of 1:51:29
  • Ran a PR Marathon at the Rock N Roll Las Vegas Marathon of 4:16:35
  • Hired a new coach - Calvin Gehlen of Finish Line Coaching 
  • Ran the Pacific Road Runners First Half Marathon (not a PR but a good early season run)

My training is right on track and going really well.  Knock on wood, I am fitting it all in.
This past weekend, I was on the Run Tri Chat podcast by Kelownagurl (Barb) chatting about my training this time around.  Click here to listen to the audio.

April Fools 1/2 Marathon Plus 15km cool down

After my minor breakdown at work on Friday, I set off on Saturday for Sechelt.  I have run the April Fool's Half Marathon two times and this was my third time.  It never fails to be hilly and hard.   Sunday morning I started off at in Gibsons ready to run to Mission Point Park.  I took it very conservatively knowing that I would be adding another 15kms on at the end of the 'race'.   I crossed the finish line, collected my medal, filled my water bottles, ate a  piece of bagel and a bite of banana and kept running west.   I do not recommend running your longest run before a marathon in Sechelt if you are not used to hills.  That place is full of 12-15% grades both up and down. At the end of the day, I ran from 9:17am - 2pm with a few quick breaks to refill bottles, eat gels and take few rocks out of my shoes.   After a shower and some real food, I was back on the ferry to North Vancouver.  Reward:  White Spot Legendary Burger combo with cheese and a Coke.

Who is the April Fool for Running this Far?

With only two more long long runs before my marathon taper, I set out on a 34km adventure around Vancouver.  I had great company and I felt pretty good.  The hills in Vancouver won but I think it will be good training for next week's longest run and ultimately the marathon.
