Running
As the youngest had swim tonight I decided to use all the light I could to get out for a run. However, it eventually turned dark and I found some interesting glows in the sky. 😄
Such a nice day out again today. So I decided to take the time I had and extend this run a little bit further.
Such a nice day out with 50°F out for a recovery run after a longer run yesterday. Even though it was overcast it felt great out as I wore shorts again in this weather. However, it was very wet outside as I feel like before the end of the week all the snow might be gone in the neighborhood.
What start out in hopes to match last weeks total distance I really tried to gear myself up for a 7-8 mile run. A rough start which I had thought about turning around a couple of times I actually ended up extending it and hitting double digits. The nice weather today was some great motivation.
It was a nice day out today so decided to get a run in probably against my better judgement. However, I feel like I found what seems like a trail or old road don’t you think? It seemed to stop so I turned around as I didn’t want to get my shoes too wet but might have to explore again another time.
Might have been the very end of the day but I got a run in however it felt terrible… I think if I didn’t have an hour to kill while my daughter was swimming I would have stopped after 30 minutes.
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.
