Running
Well first for a long time but I knew I was playing with fire when I left for a run and my watch was at 11% it almost got me to the end but missed out on my last little bit down the trail and back to get to 6.2. 🤦♂️
It was still cold today but decided while my oldest daughter and two friends practiced dryland for hockey I would try to get some miles in. Overall, it wasn’t bad on the run and I felt good. I mean yes it was cold out but I was bundled up so all was good.
Didn’t want to let this sunshine get away from me today so I went for a run after the morning livestream of swimming before the hockey game in the afternoon. I feel like I should have done a longer run as I haven’t for a couple of weeks but probably did more miles today than I had planned.
This was probably not one of my better ideas to run this morning. However, I had the day off today as my youngest has a swim meet that needed to leave the house by 10am and with sitting in a car all day and then at the swim meet I felt I should do something.
I had exactly 35 min to get a run done today to be back before a meeting. How am I feeling? Not great! Should I have gone on this run? Probably not! Oh well what doesn’t kill me makes me stronger right? Or just keeps me feeling under the weather longer maybe. 🤷♂️
Felt really good while running today in the very light snowfall outside. Once I got moving it wasn’t bad at all and I might have tried to extend the run but I was already up against the clock to get done before the company wide meeting.
Against my better judgement I went out for a run today telling myself I am back at 100% but I knew this was not true. I felt good moving more today and it was a little later in the morning which probably helped as well. However, I am thinking I might regret this discussion when I crash tonight.
Look close at this photo and you will see a van driving towards me on this path. Yes, it is a bike/walking path not a road. Before I got to the bridge after taking this photo, they started reversing realizing their mistake or I guess they didn’t want to run me down.
I was glad to find a little bit of time to get out for a run after work tonight. However, I did one of those an Apple workouts yesterday for only 10 min and my legs were still screaming at me during this run.
Decided to make this run a little longer today as the temperature seemed better than yesterday. Had the trail to myself except for what appeared to be a frozen squirrel.
It really took some effort to motivate myself to get out the door for this run. today. Then I told myself it would be just a couple of miles that then turned into a couple more. I wouldn’t say I was feeling 100% but much better after I got moving.
With the snow that fell this morning I decided to toss on my trail shoes and hit the trails for a run. I thought it was going to be colder but wasn’t all bad even with the wind. It might have helped as most of the trails were protected.
Got some streets checked off the list today while the youngest was at swimming. Crazy how the other day running it was almost 50°F and today’s run was 25°F.
Decided to take advantage of this beautiful Minnesota weather today and put a long run in. The first two miles I was really second guessing my decision but then felt much better as more miles ticked by.
It was an amazing day out today for a run. It is just too bad that my body didn’t feel the same as I think it has been tired since the long run over the weekend. That is alright these miles help build the mile base. 😉
Killing some time while the youngest is at swimming. I kind of wish I would had a little more time to run but this was probably good enough as I ate about 30 min before so felt sluggish.
Couldn’t pass up on this amazing day to get out for a long run. Decided to go find some hills around Christmas Lake.
After spending the day working and messing around with other tasks I decide to do a short run to get the body moving today. It was a good nighttime run and felt great.
