Week Ending May 8

Runs:

Monday, Tuesday: No running, tired from work. Sunday pulles a 13 hours shift so needed to rest.
Wednesday: Had time, and energy to run, but rested for the next day.
Thursday: 47 km of trails in Okanagan Mountain Park. I ran the 2011 Scorched Sole 50 km course backwards. It took me 8 hours. I left with a weather report of rain all day. The first but was rain, fantastic weather. I hit snow at 1250 m elevation, which lasted to the summit, and then down to 1300 m on the other side. It took 3 hours to trudge through 8 km of snow that was knee deep to waist deep. Very tough stuff for a while. Great run though, challenging downhills. I did a 20 km section of the trail that Ì`ve never been on before. So other than two trails that go down to the lake I`ve been on every trail in that park now. Sun came out for the last half, no hat... sunburn. Ouch.
Friday: 9 km easy paced run on flat roads and trails. Legs were a bit stiff.
Saturday: 8 km on the end of teh greenway, to the top of the second stairs and back. Could have gone longer, but I wasn`t sure I would make it back before they locked the parking lot.
Sunday: 9 km on the Lost lake Trail in Myra Bellevue Park. Beautiful suntanning weather for the second time this week.

In total I ran 72 km this week. which is the most I`ve run in one week since february. Next week I`ll probably run at least 5 days, and will prob do at least 80 km. It`s amazing how easy it is to run further when I don`t pull 13 hour days at two different jobs, it`s fantastic.
