Training Log Archive: the kempster

Had a junior training session at Kanata Lakes which was a blast. We used the sprint that was in July but I hadn't run it yet. It was a really fun course and very fast. The first time I ran it, I think my time was 18min and the second time 19min. The second time, we did it backwards and I chose a really different route choice to 9 which turned out to be really slow. Jeff, Eric, and my dad caught up but then I made up time at 6 and lost it again at 2 and 1. Even though it was super cold, it was still a lot of fun!!!

Did the usual loop again except didn't do the little extra loop near the beginning. I was really tired so near the end I was almost seeing black spots, but I made it back to my house with just enough time to get ready for school.

Won't be able to get out for a run today, so I think that I'll run up and down the stairs for 20mins...

I didn't really feel like going a distance today, so instead we did, the Hill. It's not as hard as the one here, but it's the biggest one near our cottage. Did it 10 times consistently at 1:30 which was pretty good. Felt good the whole way through and I really picked it up on our run back down the road. I think I was going so fast because I was thinking about cross-country starting up... :-)

Drove down to the Trinagle X-country ski trails although we didn't go skiing... It's a very dense network of trails in there and we didn't have a map, so whenever we got to a junction, we'd decide: left or right, and then went to chech it out. My shin got pretty beat up from the raspberries, and we got pretty wet and muddy, but it was still a lot of fun. Longest run we've done since the COC's and I felt pretty good to be back out in the woods.
