8K training – Week 3 – Running in TO

Week 3 was a solid training week. This is especially pleasing since I had to schedule my runs around travelling to and from Toronto and Hamilton for Dave and Angela’s wedding. My total mileage was ~19 miles (3+5+~3+~8). The approximate distances (~) were runs that I did based on time (instead of distance) in Toronto.

Matt ran the 8 miler (really a timed 89 minute run) with me on Sunday. We didn’t have a solid plan when we started but we ended up doing some trails through High Park and then running along the waterfront boardwalk. I almost always run alone so it was great to be able to chat with someone during a run. And the scenery was a nice change of pace from my standard Seattle routes.
