I Made Too Much Couscous

posted 1 year ago

I decided to make some Couscous because haven’t had any in a while thought it would be a good idea, but I didn’t have a bowl large enough to mix in any of the ingredients. It was a mess. Haven’t been feeling 100% the last few days so haven’t been able to get out for a good run. Hopefully whatever it is clears up soon. Toronto GoodLife Fitness Marathon is in a week and a half!

Last Friday I went on this crazy adventure to pick up another pair of Mizuno Wave Eliscer 5’s from the Running Room I traveled to the Yonge and Eglinton store but it turned out I had the pair on hold at the other Store just north of Bloor St. It was a nice night for a fixi ride anyways! The end of the story was I picked up my second pair of Wave Eliscer’s as they have treated me so well in the past. The first pair had the training for and races of two marathons and an ultra… So yeah a new pair was well in store.

Last weekend I got a new pair of shoes; Mizuno - Wave Elixir 5 at The Running Room. I’ve never had a pair of Mizuno’s before but already I am liking the low sole and the generally fit of the show. My last pair, Nike Structure 12 were great, they had a little more support than these but it started to seem that the toe was a little too narrow which started to become noticeable after ~13miles. I haven’t broken past a 13 miler in these but already at ~10 they feel the same as when I first put them on. In other news I’m running the Port Union 10km tomorrow, it should be a fun community run. As well next weekend I’m hoping to get out for the Niagara Ultra. It will be my first ultra, after only running two marathons. I am super excited for it though! Is anyone else running the Niagara Ultra; or any other event in event? If so hit me up at jrdnshw@gmail.com Wish me luck!
