I did it! 10th place overall, a stellar new PB of 1:28:44 and a lot of fun! 😀
Actually, it was -10, snowing, and snow covered… So less fun than I envisioned when I signed up, but it all turned out well! My last kilometre was my slowest because the bridges and turns to get to the homestretch were so icy! Blegh!
Anyways, more exciting news coming right up! Just had to get this post out first! 😀
Strava link! Lots of new records.
I failed for a couple days there at updates, but hopefully getting back on track now.
My 23andme kit came in like, 1.5 days which is pretty amazing! Very cool. I had to spit a lot of spit into a little container and ship it back, which sadly took until this week to happen due to some incompetent staff here at the condo I live in. They said they’d ship it for me at the front desk, but didn’t. Anyyyyways. It’s shipped now, details on the results in a couple weeks!
November 1 I started a “100 runs in 100 days” challenge with some Tri Club friends, and so far it’s going ok. I missed Sunday due to plans, icy paths, cold temps, and wimpy me… But The plan allows for runs to be made up. A run has to be 30 minutes and you can double up on days as long as there’s a 2 hour break between runs. Done!
Been playing hockey at work and soccer today too, fun times, going to miss those for sure when my last day comes (3 work days left!!) on Friday. Going for a celebratory run and then some eats at Bullhorn Saloon in Cochrane… A fitting end to my days at 4iiii. The app I’ve been working on for the past couple months will launch at the end of the month. It’s very relevant to Strava users. Cliiiimb. 🙂
Anyhow! That’s my last week. Still running lots, got the Last Chance Half Marathon coming up this Sunday (Nov. 10) which I’ll be doing in duct taped shoes since I wrecked mine a bit today… Well, kind of a lot. 🙂
And more in the personal world, I ordered a Nexus 5 on Thursday. It should be here any day! Weee. #gadgetgeek
