Running long (Trail) 2:30:00 [3] 19.0 km (7:54 / km)
In case anyone has been wondering, my current training program is: nothing, nothing, nothing, great big long workout, nothing, nothing, bit o' yoga, nothing, nothing, great big long thing, etc. I'm not sure that it's working.
Today was the day for a great big long thing, and 'Bent and I were lucky to hook up with a fun group - Slowrunner, Rocky, Hingo, Goose and Vents - to run on a beautiful section of Bruce Trail west of Terra Cotta. Slowrunner and Rocky are just a few weeks away from the Trans Rockies Challenge in Colorado, and boy do they seem ready as they tear up those hills!
There was some tricky footing on slippery rocks, especially after the cloudburst that cooled us down nicely. Although Slowrunner had described the run as "not hilly", well frankly, she lied. That's OK though, because we got her back when 'Bent, Hingo and I headed off for iced lattes at The Shed Coffee Bar after the first 19 km of the run. She and Rocky had another 14 km loop to do, and I thought sympathetically of them out in the rain as I munched on my chocolate pecan tart on the comfy couch at the coffee bar. :-)
