Made it safely to Bathurst on my bike and had time for a decent medium long (13 mile run) along a scenic route near the downtown.

Weekly total of 61 miles (8hr 39min) which is pretty good in my books. Onward and upward and I'm still on holiday for 2 more weeks! 14 weeks to PEI now... Have a good week!

That July 11 workout looks really good!
I can't help but notice a certain lack of stretching. Apart from that it looks like you had a very good week.
Nicely done! Good week for sure.
Nicely done! That was a good week of training and of course you should always have time for Tim Horton's!
