August 4 - 10

Monday (10km)
On my own today, down Wonderland onto the bike path, and not quite straight back again. I went up to Springbank Dr. from the bike path just for a little change in scenery. My legs were a bit tired. I had gotten a lot of sun today at the beach and felt a little weary.

Tuesday (14km)
Ran with Chris and Nathan. Nathan was with us for just half an hour, then Chris and I continued to get to the full hour, heading through Gibbons. It was hot, humid, and not fun. We stopped so that I could get water and Chris could use the washroom at TD Waterhouse, and then walked it in from there. My legs felt tired. I had done weights and core in the morning; that might have been the culprit.

Wednesday (14km)
Another hour with Chris and Nathan, who this time joined us for the entire run. We went on the Brescia trails. It was a nicer day for a run than yesterday was. I felt as though I had a little pep in the legs again.

Thursday (14km)
Weights and core in the morning. I am back to my pre-QUBS weight, yet I recently got a comment from someone saying I had lost weight. I do not have a goal weight, but I do not like the feeling of running heavy. I do not want to put on any more weight.
In the afternoon, I ran for an hour on my own from home. I stopped by Chris's office, but he was not in. I went over to the Thames, down to Blackfriars, up through Gibbons on the bikepath to Richmond, then back the same way. I started slowly - legs were tired from the morning weights - but finished quickly. It was more than 14k, but I will round down.

Friday (14km)
This might be 14km rounded up. My legs felt pretty sore this morning. Chris and I went from my apartment to Springbank, around the big loop and back. My quads felt still. The weather was good, though. I sweated a reasonable amount. The Olympics have started!
