Day 33 - TGIF

Awesome run today. Ran like clock work. The only little challenge I had was a charlie horse in my right calf muscle. I think I worked out most of it out during my run and did lots of stretching afterward to make sure it not come back.

Today's Stats: 3 miles, 6.46km in 40:26, avg pace 6:15/km burned 586 cal
It was nice to have some wind in my face this morning running along the river after the last few days of hot hot weather.
I see from my avg pace that I didn't really improve my time much. I wonder if  should be pushing a little harder to get my time down? In the training program is says easy, and so that is what I've been doing. Running easy! Not much extra effort or push. I guess I can save that for tomorrow as I have my 5km race to do at the Ottawa Race Weekend. Like Dad, I don't much like 5km distance races as I'll have to push really hard to beat my time. I can remember one race I did when I was a younger and there was a speed walker who almost beat me in my 5km race time. I was not impressed. I guess looking back at my 3mile times over the last few weeks, I should shoot for a just under 29mins. That would be a full 1min off my regular time. Still doesn't seem that fast, but I guess I was never really good at speed work. So, I'll under promise and over deliver!!
I also want to wish Dad and he's team good luck at the Cabot Trail Relay this weekend. Have fun guys!!
The Cabot Trail Relay Race is a 185 mile/276.33 km, 17 stage relay race throught some of the most beautiful scenery in the world...beginning in Baddeck, Cape Breton, over steep mountains in the Cape Breton Highlands National Park, through many small communities around the famous Cabot Trail, to the gently rolling Margaree Valley.
