Because of the Rain

I went out for an extra long run today down my Fort Gibralter route because yesterday it was raining all day and I was on my butt in front of the computer working on a new design for my online products sites like Cafe Press, Printfection and Zazzle, so I figured I needed the extra long run today to make up for not going out yesterday.

I didn't eat properly yesterday either so I sure felt the impact of that on top of an extra long run, by the time I was about half way there I started to feel a little drained of energy. It's true what they say about a proper diet & exercise, if you've ever done that, gone out for a really long walk or run the day after eating nothing but crap all day before you'll know exactly what I'm talking about. But I managed to push myself through the whole route. I think after lunch I'll take a walk to the Forks... Hmmm or better still take a lunch with me and eat it down at the Forks Boat Dock... now there is a simply smashing idea ;)

The Fort Gibralter Running Route

This is my Fort Gibralter

running route (maped out in Orange) for when I feel like a really long run, I don't know how many miles it is but it's a good run, it takes about 45 minuts there same time back. I screen captured this from Google Earth si I could use it as a mapping tool to map out running and biking trips around Winnipeg. I love Google Earth, such a usefull little application ;)

New Navy Blue CWX Tights

Ah this today was a nice and sunny fall morning to go out for a run in my new Navy Blue CWX running tights which arrived in the mail yesterday. Very nice, they feel great.

... I still think CWX are the best tights, extremly good quality and durable construction. I don't think I've hada pair wear out yet! My oldest pair is going on two years now and they still seem like new. I think it part it might be how you take care of them as I hand wash them in a mild soap which might be key???... In anyeven they are a damd good make!! I get mine online at Coolfit.com.

My New Castellikiss Tights

I went out for my morning run in my new CastelliKiss cycling/running tights... I'm not really crazy about the way these fit and feel.... The front tends to want to creep down a little. They're OK I guess, maybe better for Bike riding than running, but CWX tights are WAY better. Speaking of which my Navy Blue CWX arrived today... Yay! I'll have to wear those for tomorrows morning run. A little chill out this morning that's why I'm wearing my Hoody :D
