Urban Runner

This is my blog. I live, work and run in the city of Ottawa, Ontario, Canada. I'm a regular 9 to 5er trying to find out what he can do with his running.

When I'm not running I've been known to enjoy the odd cup of coffee.

No run today

Today was one of those rare days where work had to be the priority. We’re hosting folks from two others companies for the next two days. Tonight we’re in our lab getting things set up for the planned demos.

Tomorrow morning I’ll have to run before work to get my run in. In some ways that will be nice but I’ll probably be hungry all day because of it.

Sleep was good last night. Weight was 186.6 this morning.

Time to get back blogging!

Physically I’m definitely recovered from the NYC marathon three weeks ago. Still getting my sleep and rest back on track. The quality of my sleep has not been 100% over the last three weeks. This I can really notice. Over the next few weeks it’s going to be my top priority.

What are my priorities from here and mid-January?
1. Get plenty of rest. Include more naps on the weekends.
2. Continue to lose my remaining pounds. Currently 186, goal will be 177-8.
3. Make sure the easy days and rest and recovery days are truly rest and recovery days.
4. Get all my workouts in.

The weight goal will be challenging but is definitely doable if I give it a good focus.
More as the week goes on.

I am in middle of redoing my site with the new Microsoft Expression Web designer. To start off, I've posted a bunch of pics from the New York City marathon last weekend. I'll keep adding more as the week goes on.

I'll post more race port details once the pics are up.
