Monday: Walk Don’t Run!

We were out for 1:38 for 7.5k. It was very hot, but cooler as we got farther up.

Friday: Debra’s Run – Rich Crooks and myself started at Rocky Point at 5:30 am. Rich ran with me for 15 km before heading back home. We ran ALL over Port Coquitlam… . … covering a lot of distance and then I just retraced some of the same route and added a bit more to get in at 26.5 km!! yeah! Time out… 3:08:15 Glad we went early… it is sure hot out now! It was a beautiful run…Brought EXTRA water… and finished off the run with my traditional… pre packed ICE COLD chocolate milk. ( Rich was given his just before he left… and I saved mine for AFTER I completed my run ) Sure tastes great after a long run!!!
