Up a bit late this morning, and I had to get out and get home and up to my folks to make brunch for the lot of them.

Felt good for most of the 13 k.  Took it very slow, keeping myself under my 143 bpm threshold for a good portion of the run.  It was getting warm by the time I was finishing up, not sure how that will work on the long run Sundays this summer.   I'll have to get up at 5 am to get out and finish before the melting point.

For the second time in my running life, I had to stop for a break in the weeds.  I'm glad I did, because I couldn't have made it home feeling so uncomfortable.  Why is it that you can't clear your bowels on demand before leaving home on a long run??  One of the mysteries of running.

The municipal workers strike is on in Toronto.  Beind a manager in the I&T division, I have been re-deployed to other essential work - cleaning Union Station.  I had my first afternoon shift yesterday.  The group of people I'm with seem to be great, it will make the time fly by.

The only reason I mention it is that my running routine is slightly shifted.  I had been getting out before 6 am on most work mornings, in the cool of the summer mornings.  Now, I'm going to be running either after dropping the girls off at daycare after 9 am or once I get off shift at 11 pm. 

The 9 am run is what I did today.  Hot hot hot is all I can say about it.  Or maybe it should be Humid humid humid?  heheheh  20C when I headed out, and I was baking as I went up Windermere from the Queensway.  Averaged 6:13/km over the 6k, which was a bit shy of what I had been able to do on the flatter Annette/Baby Point route that I had been running the last two Tuesday early mornings.
