Saturday: i was at my parents this weekend so i decided to stay there and do my 50k run. Weather was just amazing, windy at some point but nothing to intense. I took mostly the back roads so it was all dirt and rocks roads. The overall course was fairly flat too. I did a big 50k loop. Starting at my parents in Clarence Creek pass into Bourget, Cheney, Bearbrook up towards Cumberland did not make it to the village just turn a bit before to come back to the starting point. Im starting to know body a bit more during those long runs. I decided to take it 10k at a time. Every 10k i walked for 500m to be able to eat and drink. Mentally and physically it was a lot easier i was always looking forward to that little break and to eat those delicious protein bars. It took me a bit less then 5 hours.
Sunday: i woke up with a bit a pain in my left hip today WEIRD! Anyways i decided to give it a try. I pick up my friend Erin, she is training for The Ottawa Marathon in May. So we decided to go to Old Chelsea for our run. I was suppose to run 35k today but due to my hip i had to cut it short to 25k. Its always fun to have a running partner for those long runs Erin did awesome it took us 2h15 it was a very enjoyable race. We decided to stop at The Chelsea Pub after our run for a nice cold pint of beer and there famous burger. It was well deserved after burning all those calories this weekend.
To be honest i am a bit disappointed that i could'nt finish my entire run on Sunday. But overall i had a very strong week. I have not felt that good in months. I still have my hip bugging me today. I'm going to Rama Lotus Yoga this evening for a 90min Yin class. This should do the trick to loosen up my hips, lower back, legs and shoulders and get ready for another INTENSE week of training.
