10K along the river

The past week has not been pretty.  Work has managed to get in the way of most of the workouts, although I did manage to run 8 last Sunday (with the girls), a quick 30 minute run at work (snuck out of a meeting and hit the gym) and then a 90 minute bike on Wednesday night.  But nowhere near what I had planned.  Luckily the winter maintenance program is fairly forgiving and the mileage requirements are too extreme.  My official plan doesn't begin for another 4 weeks - and I will be ready.

Today we did 10K along the river downtown.  The Chinook winds were blowing on the way out, which made it a little chillier than it was.  But the 5 k coming back was amazing.  The wind at our backs and the sun on our faces - we weren't sure if it was the run that made us sweat or the sun (I think it was the run and last night's bottle of wine).

I'm looking forward to supper (stuffed meatloaf, sweet potatoes and veggies)...dessert will have to wait for another night. Unless we have something hidden in the cupboards...(fingers crossed).
