Running
Finally got an earlier morning run in today as the kids didn’t have school. However, with the fog / mist again no sunrise views. I tried to keep this one with my heart rate low. I have never done this before but it is much harder than it seems and I checked my watch constantly.
This crazy weather.. You almost wouldn’t even know it was winter here from this picture. However, it wasn’t bad running weather to get out there today but the whole time it was misting in the air. Glad I wore a rain jacket but it caused a little watch issues 😒
The run itself felt good but boy was there some slick spots out there. What you can’t tell is the hidden ice on this sidewalk. We got a little mist (or snow that melted) and with temps hovering around freezing this is what happens.
Amazing how much better 30°F weather is to run in after all the single or below zero temps we had last week. I wish I could have gotten out in the afternoon vs the evening as we had sleet about 30 min before I went out and a couple places were getting slick.
Was still cold outside on my run today but glad to get a couple more miles in before the weekend. In a round about way I have stuck to my plan for the week so feeling good overall but do wish I could have gotten a longer one in.
With the sun out today this run felt much warmer. There was a little wind out so I strategically tried to not run into it for as much as possible.
Didn’t want to not have run for 4 days because I was at a hockey tournament so I decided to go for a run to tonight in this balmy weather. Seemed like a good time to finally get my yearly Frozen Face picture too.
Was a cold one out there today so it was just a meandering run on very familiar paths. Decided to take the backyard trail but it was very rough as no one seems to maintain it.
Had the time today to peel away from my desk and get a little longer run in before the snow flew this afternoon. I had no real plan on this run but found myself on this trail that doesn’t have too much snow yet to be a problem.
Had to go pickup the van from an oil change today so the only logical way was to run there. I should probably avoid this tunnel but I didn’t want to cross the major road so just ran fast.
Making fresh tracks while the snow was falling today on my run. Don’t get me wrong when I was on the sidewalks I was a little nervous about slipping but I didn’t slip or fall only scare was a dog that lunged at me on his leash and snagged my running pants. 🙄
I don’t know if I trust that ice on the lake yet… That is ok I will continue my run around it. Not to bad out, still feeling good but it is just January and not overly cold today.
Time to start off 2024, no plans yet but need to get my running fitness back up after my time off and feeling under the weather. This run felt good till after as I need this cough to go away. Slow and steady…
It felt good to get out there yesterday but I could tell about mid way through the end of this run I am still not 100% from whatever I picked up. Maybe I will have to continue to ease out of 2023 and into 2024.
Some change in our evening activities today so after work I decided ramble around the trails of Edenbrook Conservation Area. It was nice to catch the sunset but by the time I was done with my run it was dark.
Another Apple Watch fail on my run today but I was able to somehow get the .fit file to import correctly in the end. It was nice to have some warmer weather today but I was pressed for time.
Cold run today but still no snow (or ice rink for that matter). Guess on the positive note the trail was still clear so I ducked into it for a little bit.
