Some days just start off slow and then, at the end of the day……AWESOME!

I woke up not feeling all that great….but, well staying at home didn’t seem like the right option…

A drive through the city to the Kinsmen Sport Centre….as soon as I got their, out of the car, onto the trail, and up hill…

I love that part…today felt so right…..not a struggle, but legs moving up hill…..

It’s amazing what getting rid of the winter traction shoes, the Saucony Peregrines, and throwing on the HOKA ONE ONE ARAHI 6s, I’m saving the 7s for a bit….keeping them clean?

It was a good run…..over hill and dale, across my favorite Cloverdale bridge

woodpeckers, magpies….a pretty cool neighborhood

It was a good 12K, there were stairs, yet another hill…..

And then hit the pool for 1200 meters…that felt great….I’m still not ready to set any records, but it felt good……really good…

One mistake..I hit the hot tub/pool aftewards for about 15 minutes…it did feel good while I was in it….not so much aftwards, maybe I stayed at the party too long…a little faint, almost fainted, it took a while for me to get over that…..which was weird.

A really, really good Monday….you know, I like Mondays…that may be a retired guy thing……but yeah, a good start to the week, the first week of April…

A good start to a week, and what’s the week ahead going to be like….my goals for the year, still not sure. things are pretty fluid, five off road races, 1 a month…..maybe a half in August, another half in October……that may be a full October….depends on how the next month proceeds…..

Anyway, a Blog, now to finish up a 15K training program for a clinic member…..yikes
