Running / Saturday April 27th

« Last post by Fast Eddie on Today at 10:43:26 PM »

Limestone Waterfront 10K in Kingston, Ontario. 46:08 Chip - 33/183 Overall - 24/90 Male - 1st M60-69


Usual 5pm race start, but since I had a two hour drive to get there, it was good timing. Light showers and moderate winds on the out & back course. One good hill right in front of a closed maximum security federal penitentiary.


Had two young guys drafting right behind me for most of the course. Dropped one of them at 6K, the other one passed me on the hill at 7K, but I passed him back with 150 meters to go. Finished three seconds ahead of him, but according to chip time, he beat me by two second. Guaranteed podium finish with only three guys in the 60-69, but I beat the second place in my AG by almost 7 minutes.


No finisher medal, but got an AG medal, so all good.

Wednesday Run Club lead out for 5.8K. Nice set of 100 steps at 2K.


Had a group of six come to Run Club for the first time, one wearing Air Jordans, and two wearing tennis sneakers. They dropped to a walk at 3Km but cheerfully made it back.

Run commute day. I always struggle getting the legs going in the morning, while legs feel better going home, even though it's mostly uphill. 7K down, 7K up.

Another progression run, this time 10 miles from MP to LT. It was 72 degrees (after being 30 for Saturday's workout) and I adjusted paces a bit. Still, feeling flat after a lot of mileage and several tough workouts over the past week/week and a half.

Rolled to 16.5K this afternoon. And man, I'm hungry now.


Just a few ticks above freezing and windy. Experienced a couple of bouts of snow pellets/graupel.
