Where my feet take me this summer....

Check out these wicked new kicks.

Yup, my first Mizuno’s, yo.

It’s like running on clouds.

And got them just as my old Asics were about to bite it. Stiff backs, soles torn apart. Yeah, I ran those suckers into the ground.

Since the NHL playoff finished up I’ve been running home from CBC after the HNiC radio show which beats the hell out of sitting in bumper-to-bumper traffic everyday.

I’ve found a great route that wiggles across Front to Bathurst and heads straight down to Lakeshore which takes me almost right to my doorstep. It’s a great run on a hot evening with a gentle breeze coming off the lake running alongside other joggers, inline skaters, cyclists and the occasional power-walker.

In the water there’s no shortage of rowers and dragon boat racers.

iPod selections on Friday’s run including tasty tunes from NIN, Arcade Fire and the Raconteurs.

And when I got home the two sheps jumped on me.

And Claire had spent the early evening working our juicer over and made this awesome juice blend of fresh carrot, apple + ginger juice.

The run is about 7k which is a perfect base for me to start working from this summer because.........I started ½ marathon training Thursday night!

Yup, still haven’t decided if I want to do the Scotiabank or Good Life runs (or even both?) but I know I have a goal to work towards this summer.

Thursday we started off with a simple little 4k run to kick things off and set our goals for the race.

Tomorrow morning is our first distance run as we bump it up to 7k.
