Run to meet carol, and around PS park chatting. Started to rain on the way home.

Warm up and some strides for the race

5km road race in Stanley Park that Thomas forced me to run... painful near the end, but glad I ran it :) Haven't raced in awhile, and it shows. Looking forward to doing more races, to get better at taking the pain!
Rough splits:
4:03
7:59
12:02

Warm down after the race

Exploring Alice lake area with Thomas, Meghan and John R. Hiked around for awhile, then some trail running and terrain exploration near the end (when we found a decent area).

Wet at princess park

Picking up controls

Club run with Christophe R and Zoltan. Bit better pace than the last few times, since christophe pushed at the beginning, and I pushed near the end. Felt surprisingly ok despite lack of sleep and some sickness again (possibly just making myself sick from stress).

Strength / stretching after the run, and a bit more after dinner

Warm up and strides

Five times 800m, while Thomas did 1k's. Trying to stay on my forefoot (or at least somewhat flat foot and not heel) to practice better running technique. Went through different stages, sometimes the calves hurts, then that would subside after a lap and my stomach or something else would get noticed. But generally felt good.
