3 on 3 against people my own age.

Simon, I use to do 20 milers at Bronte Creek Provincial Park in Oakville in January/February. They plow a 3.5 mile dirt
loop there in the winter. Perhaps a 1.5 hou driver from Newmarket.

Will hit 90 degrees here today Fred. <img alt="smile.gif" class="bbcode_smiley" src="http://files.kickrunners.com/smilies//smile.gif"> Both of those temps seem cruel to me.
 
Schedule calls for 70 mins of running tonight with 4 X 1 mile repeats at 5k plus 30 secs with 1.5 min recoveries.
 
Suppose to cool off a bit more after today.

Simon · Nov 2, 2010

KS, that is too hot! Don`t you get a breeze off the ocean?
 
Fred, I know that park well; I am a 15 year member of the Toronto Triumph Club and we hold a British car day there in September, a big event with about 1,000 cars.
 
I cannot imagine playing basketball that long!
Couple of rest days for me, busy at work and visited my son in Hamilton on Sunday.
Rooting for the underdogs tonight,Texas Rangers.

ksrunr · Nov 2, 2010

Got 'er done. Yes it's too hot. 85 degrees and 20 mph winds. Times were good considering the weather.
 
I love Triumphs. 
 
Go Rangers!!

When I was growing up Triumph and BSA bikes were the class of the roads. 
 
BC was windy yesterday. Quite a few people without power this morning due to trees on lines. We were OK but quite a few homes in Prince George were dark.
 
This is the first week of my second 4 week set. An hour and 5 min on the TM this evening with BNN for entertainment. Not sure if it was the lack of fitness or the crazy business news but heart rate was jumping all over the place.

BSA = Bastardly Shaking Apparatus!

Simon · Nov 2, 2010

I haven`t heard that one before!
More conventionally, Birmingham Small Arms, they made rifles for the English army originally.
In the 60`s I owned a Matchless 500 single, which vibrated a bit- I do miss those days.
Easy 8 miler today, frost on the grass and house roofs, but beautiful sunshine.

ksrunr · Nov 2, 2010

Had a friend who owned an old BSA for a while. At idle it about shook itself apart. 
 
40 mins ez this morning after last nights 1 mile repeats. Tomorrow another quality workout. A bit cooler here today and we got a nice rain predawn this morning.

ksrunr, I'm glad something is going right down there. First your Jayhawks get pounded by the lowly Cyclones, then your Rangers lose. Good thing you are a runner and can deal with frustration.

Dayna Pidhoresky from my city last year ran:

So basically her mile time was about 5:03 and her 2 mile time was 2 @ 5:20.
 
She ran the Detroit half marathon in 1:13.15. How is that possible?

fred-urie · Nov 3, 2010

Tuesday - run 6, walk 7
Wednesday - run 9, walk 6

ksrunr · Nov 3, 2010

Morning Fred. She sure ran a fast 1/2!
 
10 moh this morning with 4 mile tempo imbedded. Turns out the tempo miles were all against the wind and on my hilly course. Finished ea mile under goal pace.
 
Tomorrow ez and Fri semi long. 5k race Saturday.

tigger · Nov 4, 2010

That's a fast half based on her shorter races. DD ran 5:09 for 1500 at age 16 and ran 1:37:xx in Vancouver HM about two weeks prior. The following year she ran 1:29:xx in the same HM but she's never beaten her 1500 from Gr 12 OFSSA. She also ran 3000 in 10:50 at the same OFSSA.
 
Easy 30 min yesterday. Another 65 min today, similar to Monday but a tad faster pace.

fred-urie · Nov 5, 2010

Thursday - Run 1 Hr., Basketball 3.5 Hrs, Walk 1.5 Hrs.
 
Friday - Run 1 Hr., Walk 7 miles.

ksrunr · Nov 5, 2010

Thurs 5.75 miles a.m. and p.m
Fri 11.5 moh W 6 X 1 min at 5k with 2 mins recovery.
 
Fred - 43 degrees this morning and no wind!!!

fred-urie · Nov 6, 2010

I'll take 43, KS
 
Saturday - Run 7, walk x. My last run along the Detroit River.

Spareribs · Nov 6, 2010

Business travel got in the way of my running this week, a different city each day, then flying out that night, and I got really tired. Cleveland, Philadelphia and Pittsburgh this week. Only ran once, and had a weekly total of 9 miles. I am running a Half tomorrow and hope I am not too stale, but I did a fiveK one week ago so I should be all right. Anyway, the weather is going to be superb and all my friends will be there, so I am pretty excited. Spareribs
