Running
Start of the week so I wanted to make sure to get some miles in. However, I quickly realized that my body was not ready for 58°F with lots of sun to run in again. This felt much worse than it should have.
The plan was for a mile less running today but seeing how we made a couple wrong turns it helped force our decision to continue to the half distance. Is still strange to think I haven’t run this far for almost a year and a half now.
I decided to flex my lunch today and get this run in since it is short weather! Day started crazy at work with lots of little things to tackle so I ended up working in the dining room as I didn’t have a break long enough to make it to my “office”. I guess I had that lunch break but priorities. 😁
I told myself I wasn’t going to run today but it was so nice out that I had to. I somewhat regretted it as I my legs were feeling but I got some miles in so I guess all is well.
Kind of a day off but before I actually started working I decided to put some miles in to start the week. Was glad it was another nice sunny day. All felt good on this run till around mile 5 my legs felt heavy but still glad to get it done.
So much nicer out today than yesterday. I think I still am not good at “recovery” miles or a recovery run.
With packed and uneven snow on the trail added for a more interesting run than planned. We had figured it might have been plowed and then with the crushed rock it would have been perfect. Not the case and our legs took a beating.
No, no, I don’t have a problem… 🫣👟🏃♂️
Had to get out and actually run through the snow today! 🌨️ I had no real plan just wanted to creat my own tracks but wish I could have done it when the sun was rising vs still dark.
Another great day to get outside for a run with shorts! This was one of those days I didn’t think it was going to be as productive as a run and in hindsight I would have planned something different.
It was almost too nice not to get outside today with the run shinning. I also kind of wanted to get my weekly running total over a number so decided get out there.
Continuing to build the millage base. This run was longer than any run I ran in 2023 which is kind of odd to think since it is only February. Saw some cows that I have never seen but am sure I have gone by before in town.
Well the ice might be receding now but it felt so much colder out running today and my body is not used to this anymore. Not only cold but the wind and snow in my face on half of it was not as enjoyable as you would think.
Early morning run that had a small trail section to make it that much more remote in the early hour.
This run was mostly done so I could goto the pharmacy to get my son some medicine. On the way back I wanted to see if this nice hockey rink got picked up before stuff might get lost and it did. Bummer knowing they probably had a week or two to use it.
Here is what it did look like on Jan 11th
Kind of forced this run by leaving myself no out. My youngest had a swim meet this morning and then other things. So I had my wife leave me at the swim meet to run home. Since I had to be home in 2 hrs to get my daughter to hockey it probably gave me more drive than needed.
It was short weather today for this run and crazy to think it is Feb 1st. I was planning on doing less millage than this as I am trying to build the weekly millage slowly but it was too nice to cut this short. I will adjust the rest of the week.
Decided to get an early run in today in order to make sure I had time for it. Very quiet out which made for a nice morning. If only it was that time of year when I could have watched the sunrise. Also, not sure why I decided on a new route that of course I took a wrong turn and added some millage.
