I mentioned this last week. Basically to help keep me motivated I’m going to track my progress from City Hall in downtown Toronto to City Hall in Charlottetown PEI – where my brother, sister-in-law and niece and nephew live.
So the start is Nathan Phillips Square.
Farmers’ market on Wednesdays in the summer (although I’m a little worried. I just checked the City website and it’s not listed for this year!) and skating all the time in winter. It’s a nifty place to work beside. Our City Hall was built in the early 1950s. It was designed by a Finn: Viljo Revell. Never mind 1950, it still looks freakishly modern and its been used in lots of movies and shows.
Running since May 1:
May 1: 4.2km – ran Q to day care
May 3: 8 km – just a random run for 66 minutes. Ran after Q went to bed so an hour is about my limit then I think although I’d like to bring it up to 88 minutes (I do 10:1s remember?)
May 5: 12.2 km – this was my first “long run” since eating keto. My legs are a little tired but overall I’m still okay. I’m drinking some salty water now (trying to be carb friendly so avoiding gatorade) ’cause it was really hot out!
Total = 24.4 km
Not great but not too bad for the week after a half-marathon.
And that puts me about a kilometre or so past Colonel Danforth Park. Still in Toronto, which is freaky if you think about it. I mean, I started almost mid-point in the city and I’ve run almost 25km and I’m still in the city!
