Sundowner Sunday

Streak to the beach - Day 49

Time : 1:03:33 Minutes
Distance : 7.0 Miles 
This Week: 13.0 Miles

Total: 171.25 Miles

I finally got the energy to get out and run again, had enough of the rationalization that I was resting my SI joint and put on some running shoes. I spent a while debating routes and decided a little elevation change was in order so I ran down to the river and back up the big hill.

It looks pretty tame and is a combination of trails and paved pathways that makes for an interesting run.  Not to mention that it is spring and everything is blooming right now.

Saskatoon blooms, this field was full of these flowering bushes and in a few months will be full of berries.

The river at the bottom of the hill, it is almost flooding with spring run off from the snowpack in the mountains.

This is the big hill that I ran up, it is straight up the escarpment and is a lot steeper than the picture shows. My lungs felt like they were going to burst halfway up this uh sucker.

From the top of the hill had a great view of downtown illuminated by the setting sun.

Then by the time I arrived at home the sun was setting and it was thinking about getting dark.

The run itself was good an easy start as it was mostly downhill and then flat along the river. Then one massive leg burning, lung bursting hill to climb out of the river valley.  And finally a nice gentle downhill for the last couple of km home.

A good run, an Ok time but a suck arse Sunday!

Plod On.
