    October Walking/Running

    Oct. 4 - 6km run
    Oct 7 - 2.37km walk
    Oct 11 - 10km run
    Oct. 13 - 5km run

    With piano and voice lessons tomorrow night, the only real time I have to run is my lunch break. I haven't run on my lunch break since I was in the stall changing after my run, and well I hadn't made sure the door was fully and properly locked………… I need to keep up what I've done this weekend.

    Happy running everyone.

    Got in a 1 hr recovery walk yesterday. Not as fast as I'd like but was a little underdressed for -7c/22f weather, had to resist the temptation to run to warm up. Supposed to warm up up to +6c this afternoon for the later run. Summer is back today!

    @tarun_yadavA sorry to hear, take it easy for now.

    "Driveway run"…is that running from one end of the driveway to the other, turn around and run back, repeat as needed? Basically turning your driveway into a miniature track? Yeesh, how many trips around do you need to get a reasonable distance covered?

    Nice runs & walks @angf0679, @quilteryoyo, @kgirlhart, @tarun_yadavA (good on you getting it done), @username301, @Teresa502, @rennerkyler, @WarmJellyfish, & @nossmf!

    Gravy on the salmon… sounds …like something one of my friends would cook…?; & …I'd say…., 'no, it's okay, …it's …good'…?
    Cooking related info in the spoiler for those interested.

    Yorkshire pudding - Not an everyday item in my neck of the woods but really depends on the cook! There's some areas of Canada that swear by it!

    I've had Yorkshire pudding twice @tarun_yadavA, both times at my buddy's house, at Christmas dinners prepared by his Mom, a truly wonderful cook, who moved from England to Windsor, On, Canada when she married her Italian hubby. Absolutely loved it, but loved everything she made.
    One of my sister's made Yorkshire pudding at a family dinner years ago, but she never served it as she said it was really bad! I've never tried making it myself.

    For this past Thanksgiving weekend, I wasn't able to travel to spend time with my family, which was unusual but I soldier on; That never stops me from cooking:

    - Fri- >baked ham & baked potatoes & veg & salad;
    - Sat → a ridiculously big batch of Bolognese sauce & pasta & veg & salad;
    - Sun → turkey breast with roasted root vegetables & salad;
    - Mon → side of salmon, brown rice, with steamed spinach & cauliflower & salad;
    My salads were using up the very last of my garden - tomatoes, arugula, thyme, basil & other herbs; - & adding items not from garden - Romaine, gorgonzola, butternut roasted seeds.

    For dessert - I do cheese trays & fruit but that's about it. My friends know, if you want to bring something I like for dessert, cheese & wine works for me!

    Thanksgiving weekend - Lots of 'care packages' sent home with friends; lots of leftovers in my freezer for the next few weeks.

    Total = 60.22km / 36.42 miles (Goal - 125Km / 77.7 miles)

    An absolutely beautiful day for a run in the city.
    Once I finished up my appointments in the a.m., I skipped lunch & threw on shorts & a T' to head out in the 21⁰ C (70⁰ F) weather! No plan for the run, just followed streets/park paths as I felt like.

    Ran until the clouds filled up the sky & the temp dropped a bit.

    Nice running @kgirlhart . I hope the coyote was at a distance.

    @yirara That sounds like a lot to deal with. You do great to do what you do.

    Thanks @tarun_yadavA . Sorry you're still struggling. I hope you are back to at least close to normal by the time you leave for your trip.

    Great run this morning @username301 . Great goals and I'm betting you will be able to meet them.

    Nice run @Teresa502 .

    Doing great @rennerkyler . Glad the clicking is getting better.

    Yeah for a lunch break run @angf0679 .

    @nossmf You're doing great. Yes, driveway run is doing laps on my driveway. My driveway is long (and hilly), so about 2.25 laps is a mile. Recently, I have been adding in a little bit of the road at the end of my driveway, up and down both sides of the hill a couple of times. It helps break up the monotony. I posted pictures recently. In case you missed them, here they are again.

    Up the hill from the end of my driveway.

    Down the hill from my driveway.

    The beginning of my driveway.

    Sounds like a great run @John772016 . The food sounds great and glad you were able to spend time with friends since you weren't able to travel to be with your family.

    Did a driveway wun after work again. I got off a bit earlier today, so had a little bit more time. The run felt good. I did run a bit more before walking today - and ran up my nemesis driveway hill twice without stopping to walk. The avg pace for the running portion was 12:26 min/mile (yesterday it was 12:55). Avg HR was 146 with a max of 162 bpm. Splits were 13:10, 11:53, 12:33, and 10:02 for the last tenth of a mile.

    I ran a 6 mile tempo run today. It was a good run. It was a little cooler than yesterday. I didn't see any coyotes today, just the usual cats.

    @quilteryoyo The coyote was a good distance away yesterday, but I was definitely on alert today.
