Run # 1-2 Emily

Hello one and all!!!

yesterday:
I never realized how quiet the streets are at 6am on a Saturday morning.   Where is everyone !??! sleeping or something??!
Anywho, keeping in mind it was -1, we started off on our 18km route to John Lawson Park in Dunderave. Not even 10 min in on Jones avenue we saw two coyotes!!! They are really creepy!!! So from that point on i was expecting another coyote or a huge ferocious animal to pop out of a bush and eat us all up, but i guess it was our lucky day because we saw no sign of life until the dog park in westvan.
The run when really smoothly, and for being on an injury break and not have an extremely long time back running it felt really great!! As i mentioned , i was on an Injury leave so it is only normal for my body to try an injury it's self again!!  Heres the thing, we were crossing the street at Capilano and Fullerton and we noticed that when you pushed the walk button, when it was time to walk it would talk. So as curious human beings, we tried to make it across the road quick enough to be able to hear what the pole was saying. Well as stated at the beginning it was early and icy and well i made one foot on the curb and BAM flew on to my knees ! Atleast i was numb? Not much damage so im not too worried!
We had and accident free route on the way home and had successful first day.\
body pain scale :   3 out of 10 :)


today, day #2:

Well the pain scale stayed at 3 before the run but slowly creeped up as the run progressed.  At this very moment i would have to rate it a solid 7.  Although was suppose to run 19km i unfortunatly had to stop and only got 15km in.
Todays run, on a personal level wasnt as successful as yesterday.  Feeling Quit sluggish for the most part. Im sure next week will be better :)




Overall, i believe it has been a very successful weekend

Animal count:  2 coyotes    Ferocious beasts: 0
Unfortunate injuries: 1, blisters: too many
would i do this again?: oh yeah!

til next time,

Emily
