North shore long distance race. On the longer leg I took a straighter route through the ravine with more climb and an small trail to run along instead of road. I lost about 2 minutes to that, but it was much more fun! Other than that a pretty good race, felt good physically. Got a bit tired at the end and started having trouble accelerating after climbing up stairs out of ravines ;)

run with peter while thomas was placing controls

bike to school and back in rain quickly to hand in an assignment and try to find my lab group.

Felt pretty good, and pushed pretty hard, had some other girls just next to me or behind me.

warm down

running on the treadmill in the lab. We had to do conconi's test where the speed went up every minute. Also did this other test where you have to run at varying intensities till "exhaustion". So some of this running was an all out sprint for 30 secs, while some was a fast pace for 12 mins. I can't really say I ran till I dropped off the back of the treadmill... and cause of limited time our protocol was not the best since we needed more rest.

bike into physio/school in the morning.

Exercises and stretches at physio

biking home from school, stopped at home, then continued on to the wet in richmond.

Wet at minoru, ran by myself but managed to keep a good pace.

Felt pretty good, times may have more to do with exactly how we cut the corners... since it was getting dark people were cutting inside the cones I think.

strides, abc's and warm down.

strength and stretch at the gym below the pool

testing out my new runners, cause the guy in the store said I could still return them if i tried them out on a treadmill and did not like them. I hate treadmills, but I think the shoes are ok.

running on treadmill in lab. Was supposed to be a trial about what happens during environmental stress so I was wearing polar fleece head to toe, gloves, and a rainjacket with hood up.... not very comfortable.

pool running with thomas in evening.
