Great challenging cycle in the Gats with Francis. Went to Chelsea, had a cookie, then cycled back! Took all the hills, even on my old bike :)
Crossed Island Park Bridge, rode along Lucerne until we hit the bike path, which we took up to P3. Stayed on the Parkway to Chelsea, then stopped for 20 minutes - cookie fuel.
Took the Parkway all the way back to P3 for a brief pit stop, the continued on the Parkway and connected with the bike path along the river - home.
Francis caught a few splits: 1:19:12 at 27.61 km and the next 26.95 km at 1:22.24
Overall '54.56' km, call it 55 km with all the transitions.

Nice run along the river to the bench. Started off easy, but picked up speed as the breeze inspired me. BiLBO during last km, so that one was a bit slower. Very busy along the rec path!

Walk with Sandra to Britannia Beach and back.
Easy, chatty walk. Nice breeze down by the beach!

Started a workout schedule to prepare for a Fall 10km event.
Did 13 min warm-up at 6:27 pace around the neighbourhood (Henley-Connaught-Severn-Alpine-Henley/FRPark hill). Then used the Maplewood Road loop to do 6 x 400m with 1 min jog recovery after each one, including the last one. Alternated direction each time. Goal was to do each one in 2 min, but each was under that time (ranged from 1:52 to 1:56) with a decent effort. Felt good after #6. Followed the last recovery minute with 9 min warm-down (FRPark/Henley hill-Alpine-Severn-Connaught-Henley-Chambers-Arkel-Henley, stop just at the park hill).
Overcast with sunny periods, 26 degrees, humid!

Incredibly hot and humid too. I could feel the heat reflecting back up to me from the pavement! In spite of that, the run was good. Duckie Point and back.
