Giddyup!

Joy here...

Back in the saddle again...

Well after taking a rest day on Monday and Tuesday after our 1/2 marathon success, we headed out the door for an easy 30 minute run this afternoon.  And surprisingly, our stiffness in our quads and our general muscle fatigue after the serious effort on Sunday passed pretty easily.  We'll try to squeeze in another easy run tomorrow before we head out to dinner with friends and a longer one on Friday before we head to a colleague's house for dinner.

But more important than our social calendar is the fact that we've signed up for a 10km race on Saturday, November 6th.  It's a local race in support of Girl Guides of Canada, and it's called the cookie run for all those yummy Girl Guide cookies!  It'll likely be the last of our races before the snow descends upon us and we just start doing our very best to survive the winter without losing every last big of fitness.  And our next plan is to train for a 30km race in the spring!  That should motivate us to be good throughout the winter.

As well, Nomi and I are thinking of running the 1/2 marathon in Singapore this coming May.  We did the 10km last May, and now maybe we'll be ready to tackle that 1/2 marathon distance.

But enough of our scheming and plotting for now...it's just good enough that we're back out doing there running!

Over and out,
Joy
