I will never be an elite runner, but I strive to always be better than my yesterday, last month, last year.

4x10K (43:58)
22x13.1 (1:34:40)
8x26.2 (3:43:29)

I had Taco Time with Diablo hot sauce for lunch...I run right after work. What was I thinking?

Ummm...it's been a minute.

Last post was Sept 30 2023
before my first Ultra.

Have not even logged in since I got a new phone 6 months ago.

What did I miss?

@jcobraRR @FAFO_TV Those are Cassowarys. Evil litte pricks in Australia.

@jscorcoran Love this!

[SaskRunner (Dave) 🌾 @sask_runner]

@jcobraRR @jscorcoran I'd do that with my mince.

@jscorcoran @jcobraRR Wow! I am for sure doing a backyard Ultra next year. Super interesting.

I'm slacking on my posts.

Mon 3 mi easy
Tues 4 mi with run group
Thurs 4 mi around the hood
Today 20 mi half trail half path

Long run was tough. Last 3 miles were areal bitch.

I'm assuming my legs are still a little wrecked from last weekends PB

No sign of injury though!

😊

@stadnek Yup

@Long_Brown_Path Not as fast as some...but an amazing pace for this old guy.

Sunday I ran the Step Up For Mental Health Half Marathon.

It has been 3 years since I have ran a half (been locked in on fulls).

I took close to 8 minutes off my PB with a time of 1:34:40!

I finished 1st overall for my age group and 25th overall.

I'm pretty pleased.

@Craig23995474 Thanks Craig. I never figured I would be in the 1:30's!

@cibertad Haha. Thanks Allan. Me too!

4 mile run with the run group. Beautiful evening on the trails.

Toe caught a root and I went for a ride. A little sore today but not too terrible.

[SaskRunner (Dave) 🌾 @sask_runner]

@cibertad Thanks Allan! I'm excited for it.

[SaskRunner (Dave) 🌾 @sask_runner]

4.4 mile run with run club last night on the river trails. Beautiful evening.

Time to ramp back on intensity so my ol get-away sticks are ready for Sundays #StepUp Half Marathon.

Hoping for a push for a PB.

Terry Fox run today for me. 10K with a gal from my running group who is running a 10K event soon and has never completed that distance.

We ran it today at her pace and she got it done in under an hour which surprised her.

Pretty cool.
