Today's run went very smooth, it was a bit windy and cool but overall a great fall run. Beautiful fall colors surrounded me as I made my way down the newly paved path. Oh yah, did I forget to tell you, the city paved the running path along the river last week and now it's smooth as a baby's bum! More bikers on the trail now but less opportunity to twist an ankle.
Today's Stats: 6 miles, 9.75 km, in 55:08 mins, avg pace 5:39 /km, avg speed 10.6 km/h burned 881 cal
Today's Weather:
| SAT Oct. 09, 2010 11:00am |  | Temp 7 | Wind | NW 20 Humidity | 57 |
P.S. If anyone has some pre marathon tips I should take into consideration....I'd love to hear from you.
Hi Laura ... ran with your Dad this morning - he's in great shape for the run! Here are notes a running friend gave me before my first marathon in PEI last year:
ReplyDelete#1- handwash and stay away from sick or sniffling people; or even better avoid people all together!
#2- eat normally but maybe a little less so you don't gain any unwanted lbs; save the beer and ice cream for after the race
#3- don't worry, be happy, it'll be here soon enough and the weather forecast will change 5 more times and you'll get what you get
#4 - oh yeah, take it really easy on Sat and try to stay off your feet as much as possible (this is very important) Don't get carried away with all the pre-race hype!
Here is a link to my (lengthy) report on the marathon after I ran it last year:

Good luck!
Thanks Trevor for all your tips. I'll check out your blog for sure!
