The rain won’t stop this group!<\/p><\/div>\n

This picture doesn’t really do justice to the actual rain we were running through. \u00a0Last night was one of those small-creeks-running-down-roads, little-water-fountains-coming-out-of-the- mesh-on-your-shoes,\u00a0waterfalls-running-off-your-hat-peak type of run. \u00a0And this group did it with smiles on their faces. \u00a0So to my 5k group – no matter what you pace is, or how long you can go before your walk break, you are now officially RUNNERS in my book. \u00a0Wear the moniker proudly!!!<\/p>\n

As for me, yesterday was an eclectic day of running, perfect considering I want to change up my training a bit while still maintaining the fun factor. \u00a0Over the course of the day I ran about 17 km but it was done in four different runs. \u00a0Since my car had to be dropped off for a couple of hours of servicing in the middle of a car dealership no man’s land the logical thing to do seemed to be go for a run. \u00a0I planned a 4k route to the nearest Tim Horton’s so I could have lunch. \u00a0Of course, it being lunch time meant running in the midday heat and humidity (not a cloud in the sky at this point) on a route with little to no shade. \u00a0I surprised myself with the first leg of the trip as I ran faster than I anticipated in the heat. \u00a0Mostly that was just because I was desperate to get out of said heat. \u00a0The route back was less pleasant. \u00a0Apparently running with a stomach full of\u00a0bagel, kettle chips and frozen lemonade just isn’t a good idea. \u00a0I’m not even going to pretend that I enjoyed that run. \u00a0By the time I made it back to the dealership I was a sweaty\u00a0mess and I am sure they were happy to just hand me my keys and get me out of their office.<\/p>\n

The evening of course was the 5k group run. \u00a0Once I was done that I figured I was wet anyways so I might as well take advantage of the cool evening and go for another run. \u00a0My goal was to make it a fartlek, which it was to a point. \u00a0I discovered though that trying to do speed work in squishy wet shoes is not as easy as you would think. \u00a0In the end it was just a fun 6k run and a nice way to complete a running\u00a0day.<\/p>\n
