While my run was satisfying, it wasn't as great as Liam's pre-Ottawa jaunt. I went out on my normal evening run route, along the Trans-Canada Trail and put in the loop of a public par 3, 9-hole golf course. I also threw in some pick-ups in preparation for the half-marathon in Penticton on Sunday. Things felt ok, but I am coming to the end of my cleanse now and I am excited to eat some comfort food and to start my 7systems recovery supplements again. It is surprising how much I felt the difference not having them, and it is a testament to the importance of having the right minerals, vitamins, and other stuff in your body to allow it to recover well, thus allowing peak performance. I am curious to see how I feel as I reintroduce to my daily routine. With all that said, I will quote the quotable Mr. Trevor Millar - "It doesn't matter if you feel good, just run hard. Feeling good is a bonus."
I guess I will have to run hard. We'll see how things feel as the race I really want to run well is two weeks from now - the Iron Knee 25k.
As I am camping I will not have internet access for the long weekend, so be good out there.

there must've been some curse words in that quote somewhere....for emphasis.
Good luck this weekend, and don't forget to run hard... Tre is a smart man, now if we could only get him to run:)
You had to make me search for it, 1:18:18, how are you feeling? How is the body? Make sure you're taking care of yourself, what with the races, heavy training and cleanse (silly kid).
