Running

Apr 22, 2025 ∞

Thankful that my flight this morning got in earlier than I expected and home before I was thinking. I took that extra time to get a run in as I had pushed my meetings back and got some work done on the plane. Felt good to get moving after an early morning and lots of sitting.

After a late night of traveling and no real plans for the day until tonight, I was still up early and of course I had packed my running gear. So with no real idea where to run so I just started from the hotel and actually found an area in some houses interesting to explore. A scenic view of a suburban area with a dry creek bed in the foreground. The creek is surrounded by grassy lawns, small trees, and residential houses with brick and stone exteriors under a clear blue sky.

This run felt harder than I think it should have but even at the start my legs were tired so not surprised that last mile was real work. Other than that it was nice outside and I took a few new paths to pass the time.

The track meet for my daughter might have been canceled due to weather but I decided to give it a go. Didn’t get to rained on and only a little lightening and thunder but I was able to fishing before it really started pouring.

Found time today to get out for a run which I was very thankful for but my whole body felt tired. Might have been due to a little lack of sleep and stuff at work or might have just been a little warmer than the past two days. Either way now I am glad to have gotten out to enjoy the weather.

I was hoping to have more time to get out for this run today but meetings ran long and I only had a small window. Might be for the better as it was super windy out.

A small, narrow stream surrounded by leafless trees and dry vegetation. The ground is covered with brown leaves, and there is a metal grate partially submerged in the water. In the background, a house with a dark roof is visible through the trees. The sky is overcast, casting a muted light over the scene.

Wasn’t planning on going for a run tonight but it was great to convince my running friend to get out with me tonight. Honestly, that was the best part as it has been a while since we last ran so as I told him whatever the millage was going to be I was good with it.

A straight, narrow railway track stretches into the distance, bordered by leafless trees on both sides. The ground is covered with gravel, and fallen branches lie scattered along the track. The scene has an overcast, wintery feel, with a grey sky overhead and sparse vegetation.

Friday long run today! Was glad to get to this distance and feeling pretty good during and after it since the past couple of weeks have been lower millage with vacation. Now I can take it easy this weekend and not worry about trying to get a long run in.

A tranquil lake scene on a cloudy day, with bare trees lining the shore and their reflections visible on the calm water. The overcast sky creates a muted atmosphere, while patches of reeds and grasses grow near the water’s edge.

I had an idea yesterday that I might have tried to squeeze in a longer run today but I worried I hadn’t rested enough so I decided to just go out for a short run today in between some meetings. I actually felt pretty good and the weather was nice and cool. I might regret not extending this run but glad to get a run in.

A sparse, early spring landscape featuring a mix of leafless and willow trees with yellowish branches. The foreground has dry, brown grass and scattered small shrubs. A small pond is visible in the mid-ground, reflecting the overcast sky. The background shows a distant tree line under thick, gray clouds, creating a calm and subdued atmosphere.

Got home late yesterday from vacation and decided that today with a lot of errands to do in getting back into the swing of things I decided to shake of the cobwebs from travel yesterday and get a short run in.

A paved pathway curves through a dried marshland with tall grass. A bare tree branch arches over the path on the right. In the background, there’s a row of houses and a white water tower amidst a mix of bare and budding trees under a cloudy sky.

Decided to get up early to catch the sunrise and have a slow run around the resort. I think I have now traversed across the entire place.

Sun setting over the ocean with a sandy beach in the foreground. The sky transitions from a bright yellow near the horizon to deep blue above, with a few scattered clouds. The water reflects the warm colors of the sunset.

A serene beach scene at sunset with the sun low on the horizon, casting a warm glow over the ocean. The water is gently lapping against the sand, and shadows of palm trees line the edge of the beach. The sky is a soft gradient of warm colors, with a few scattered clouds.

Needed to get this run in before a early morning and day of travel. I didn’t expect this amount of snow coming down, already down and the amount blowing in my face. Other than that it was pretty out in the night with bright white snow.

A snowy forest path is lined with trees covered in snow. Footprints lead through the fresh snow along the center of the path. Snowflakes fall gently onto the ground, creating a serene and quiet atmosphere. The ambient lighting casts a soft, warm glow over the scene, adding a sense of tranquility to the winter landscape.

Well after a very interesting day of trying to work with no official work laptop. I was ready to get this long run in before we head out on vacation. I want sure how this one would feel so late in the day but it was great to get out and chase the sunset.

A sunlit scene of a marshland with tall, dry grasses and a small stream. Bare tree branches frame the foreground, and leafless trees line the background. The sky is clear with a few scattered clouds, and the bright sun casts long shadows across the landscape.

Got lost in a book tape and just enjoying the beautiful weather and scenery I almost forgot to take a picture today on my run. So I took a rather odd one mostly because I don’t think I have noticed this little stream in-between buildings and not sure where it comes and goes to. 🤷

A narrow stream runs through a wooded area with leafless trees on both sides. The ground is covered with brown leaves, and the stream reflects the bare branches above. The scene has a calm, wintery atmosphere, with muted colors and a gentle curve where the water flows.

Not going to lie, even with the beautiful weather out today this run was a struggle. However, I pushed though mostly because it was more or less an out and back and I had no choice but to continue on.

A wide-open field with dry grass and scattered patches of water, likely a wetland or marsh. Bare trees with branching silhouettes frame the scene on both sides against a clear blue sky with wispy clouds. The background shows a tree line in the distance.

It was a long day of work today with some other kid stuff sprinkled in as well. I kept just thinking I would take a day off but honestly I needed this time to run as the sun was setting tonight. I told myself finally OK, just do 3.1 miles and so I just started running.

A tranquil scene of a sunset over a grassy field bordered by leafless trees. The sun is low on the horizon, casting a warm, golden glow that contrasts with the cool blue sky above. The silhouettes of the trees create a serene and peaceful atmosphere.

Planned to take a little time off this morning to do my yearly birthday run. It got a little delayed for work stuff but I did make it out. I didn’t plan for it to be as cold as it was when I started but it is a good start to another year around the sun. A serene lake scene with sunlight glistening on the water’s surface. The sky is clear and blue. Bare tree branches extend over the right side of the image, while a lone duck is visible on the water. The opposite shoreline is bordered by a line of leafless trees.

Glad to be back home running on some familiar trails again. Decided to put in a short one before everyone was hungry for brunch and basketball games started up again.

A wooden boardwalk leads through a vast, dry field of tall grasses under a cloudy sky. Sparse trees and bushes are scattered across the landscape, with more dense trees visible on the horizon. The sky is overcast, casting a gray hue over the scene, creating a tranquil and open natural setting.

Not exactly what I had planned for today. I created really interesting route that I wanted to try only to wake up and find it pouring rain outside. I decided to scrap my actual route as it would have been had me being outside for a lot longer in this cold rain and just tried to run along the water. Only the construction along the trail caused that to be derailed slightly as well.

A paved pathway runs alongside a body of water under an overcast sky. There are street lamps evenly spaced along the path, and benches are placed intermittently on the grass adjacent to the path. The area appears wet, indicating recent rain, with puddles visible on the path. The landscape is flat, with distant trees and landforms on the horizon.
