Pileated woodpecker
This morning's run was an enjoyable 1 hour and 15 minutes :))...felt like a walk in the park after last weeks adventure. This week I begin the section of the training called the aerobic capacity phase...designed to increase the speed at which you can run with a focus on increased duration (better fat burning coming into play here...this is where we lean up a bit) and increasing speed at the high end of the aerobic zone.
I have used this training plan before with success and I am enjoying following it again this time around.
I am glad to be blogging again. I didn't tell u about the woodpecker on my long run a few weeks ago. I started off from home and ran down to Canada games pool. I spotted the woodpecker before he spotted me. He was only midway on the telephone pole for some odd reason but he saw me and flew away. I took a swing by the cemetery and you guessed it there he was again. I ran down to Burnaby Lake that day via North Road and came upon him again at the entrance to the trail. Once more as I climbed that brutal hill on Cariboo Road he pileated away on another telephone pole.
I was thrilled with the company and the flash of red throughout my journey. Since his second showing occured by the cemetery I of course will believe that Dad was missing me the way I miss him everyday and decided to say hello.
I sat down to write as soon as I got back from my run this morning so I have to get moving now and get breakfast ready. My sister and her husband are coming for breakfast. They recently uprooted from Winnipeg and are living just down the street from us now.
I will try to write a bit later. Ciao for now!

For whatever reason, I can post a comment if I click from my Googlereader link for the specific post, but not if I come to the blog by entering URL in browser. You might want to see if you can figure out why. Or not, depending how much you want comments, and from whom.
ReplyDeleteCongrats on the great progress you seem to be making with your training -- that pilleated woodpecker sighting is a nice grace note to your efforts. Any immediate goals? Halfs in your future?
I never have a camera at ready when I see things like this. Great job on being camera ready even on your run.
ReplyDeletenice to see you're back. I'm looking forward to hearing about your vacation runs.
