Longest Run

Well this weekend was my longest training run for the Manitoba Marathon Half-Marathon . . . Well, actually my longest runever - 15 miles on Saturday!
I ran two miles to meet the Running Room club who ran for a little over 11 miles and then I ran 2 miles back to my car.

WPS Half Marathon 2006 - Half Way

Here I am at just past the half way point in the Winnipeg Police Service Half-Marathon!
If someone said that I would be running in a half-marathon 13 months before I would have told them it was impossible!

And yet I beat my 2:15 goal with a time of 2:09:48 and finished feeling reasonably strong.

April 9, 2006 - One Year Runnning Anniversary !

April 9, 2006 was my One Year Anniversary of Runnning! I celebrated by doing a 9 1/2 mile run, my longest ever. The previous longest was 8 1/2 miles, Tuesday last week.

It was sunny and 10 degress Celsius with a light wind. Perfect actually. I felt great. Mile 7/8 was through the Assiniboine Park. It was encouraging to see everyone else out enjoying Spring.

Iliotibial Band Problem - Finally Beaten?

I think I have finally beaten that iliotibial band problem. But I am still behind in training for the WPS Half Marathon on April 30th.

It had been going on since before this Resolution Run on January 1, 2006 up until the week of March 26.

I have been doing a combination of icing, anti-inflammatories, strengthening, stretching along with visiting the Physiotherapist, Chiropractor, Massage Therapist and Sports Medicine Physician.

We'll see what happens on April 30th.
