A Passion for Running

Welcome to the home of Mark aka The Running Blogfather – a 40 year-old dad, husband and marathon runner who's beaten injury and is on the comeback trail!

an odd week

passion for running category: running on Tuesday, June 29 2004

I got a small run in yesterday and biked today. I might skip my run today and do an easy one at lunch tomorrow.

All this because Thursday is Canada Day and I’ll be in a 15k race and want to be fresh.

I already told Tom that running 20 miles on Saturday is out. The race on Thursday means there is no way I’d be doing that anyway and neither will Tom unless he has a death wish or something!

My goal for Thursday is to run it in 7:45 minute miles.

It’s going to be very very difficult!

Good luck in the race, Mark. That’s a really tough pace, especially for a 15K! Hang tough. Onward!

Good luck in your 15K! I’m not sure how long that is in miles, but if you can hold 7:45 miles for that long, you are the MAN!

Knock ‘em dead in your race, and whoa, what an election. I guess Paul Martin knows what the people think of his party now, eh?

I’m pulling for you Mark. I know you’ll do great and what a wonderful day for landmark race…running Strong and Free!

You could borrow my broken HR monitor/watch thingy because it will tell you that you’re running a 5 minute pace no matter what you run I’m sure. ~giggles~ ;)

Off course good luck for tomorrow! At least the course seems to be flat, so start aggressive, keep your pace, and finish strong ;-)
