16K on sunday

it's an amazing feeling to run 16K one way. From Taylor Creek Park at Dawes Rd west to DVP, down along the Don Valley River, and east to the beaches.

Still, this is 4K short of my scheduled 20K run as per the training program. I suspect running against the wind on lakeshore contributed to the shortage. I was also guessing the mileage after hitting the 10K mark at DVP/lakeshore at which I was supposed to turn back for a perfect 20K but decided to carry on for fun. Oh well, there's always next sunday.

farm getaway

Monday July 5, noon - Tuesday July 6, 11 am: me and Anya spent time outside Toronto at a nice getaway farm, the Hart House Farm. It was just the two of us in the cottage, complete with a fireplace and a wooden sauna by the pond in the forest. Serene, beautiful, fresh air.
