My next run is two weeks...and hoping to hit the 40s range.

My next run is two weeks...and hoping to hit the 40s range. | that's an odd statement to making in the middle of july. by the time i get to the top, it could be 5 degrees, but i'd still be way too warm for anything more than a t-shirt and a pair of shorts. i think maybe you're exaggerating *slightly*

Yesterday was on the verge of rain, but the weather seemed to hold up. Still, i was wearing shorts and a t,....it wasn't cold at all. But at the top, there was a breeze good enough to create frost off the top of your head.

I did it 2 times this week
First one was a very slow pace with many breaks coming in at 2:30 hours
Second one was better with waiting breaks for slower friends coming in at 1:08 hours
I feel pretty good, but i got quite a few bites on me.
Can't wait to do it again.

How is the Grind on Sunday mornings these days? I'm thinking about doing it this Sunday, but I want to go early enough to avoid the Lululemon hordes...
I'll probably do a short 2K sprint before I take the drive up there just to get my heart and thighs pumping. I'm in decent (though not spectacular shape) and I'm aiming for a time in the mid to low-50s. |

I went on Sunday morning and I arrived a little bit later than I wanted to - 10:15ish. The Grind on Sunday mornings is packed beyond belief and if I had a choice, I'd definitely do it on weekday mornings as opposed to weekends.
I finished it in just a few ticks above 56 minutes. I wasn't entirely happy with my time, but considering the amount of traffic, it was a decent first run this season. I felt pretty good until about the 3/4 mark - my body felt like I had hit a wall. I probably didn't have enough food before heading up there, or I needed Gatorade instead of plain water. When I saw the clearing, I tried to run the last 200 metres, but my legs quit after 10-15 seconds. But, there was no soreness in my thighs the next day which means I can probably go harder next time.

I cross-train with a couple of 5K runs a week and dragonboat twice a week (which is akin to sprinting for 3-5 minutes at a time.) I guess it's kinda hard to describe what "hitting a wall" means. Maybe it was a lack of food? (I only had some cereal and a couple of granola bars before I headed up.)
