Pretty decent week of training -- though I'd have liked to find time for yoga and more cycling. Canada Day and the weather upset my plans to cycle to work a second day.
The weather was cool and damp most of the week -- which was too bad for jazzfest but terrific for training.
Long run today felt great -- especially during the first 15-16km. Got into a very nice zone while circling the Experimental Farm. I'd forgotten how good it can feel to run long. It really is magical when your body gets into a rhythm, your brain shifts to neutral and the endorphins start flowing. I think it helped that I started a little slower than usual so will try to focus on that again next week.
My only other regret for the week is that I didn't run an extra half kilometre somewhere. It would have been good to be able to record a nice round 40km for my weekly total.
