Yesterday, nothing went totally according to plan. I got to work only to leave after 2 hours so I could work from home while my daughter had a fever (it broke, she's fine). Then the work I thought would take most of the day went faster than I thought so I had time to jump on my treadmill for 6km. I recently started using a new app, called BitGym, which displays a virtual scene (single track trail runs mostly), through various regions of the world. The camera tracks your movement and estimates how far you've gone based on your profile and estimated bpm. I'm using the free version so I'm limited to 10 minute circuits, but there's enough of them I could string together 5 if I need to. It certainly beats watching tv since I'd rather be running outside. I thought I had only covered 4km but it turned out I had run 6km. yay! So treadmill run done, I got ready and took my daughter to her dance practice (they were learning a new routine so she couldn't miss it, fever or not). While she danced, I decided to hit the real trails and squeezed out another 4km. I didn't really plan to run that far, in fact I figured I would go for a short walk, but because my knee felt so good I figured I'd go for a double...and I love the trail system in Cole Harbor.
So I have a birthday coming up. 38. The other day I realized how fast the big 4-0 is sneaking up on me. To celebrate I'm taking the day off of work and running a nice looong run. I want to run 38km to commemorate the day but I don't know if my legs can handle that right yet. I'll see how I'm feeling closer to the day. If worst comes to worst (maybe it'll rain) I'll deal with only running 3.8. haha
