Running
It has been to many days of rest so time to get back to it running. In some consolation it was warm when I started but got a little cold at the end. Maybe Spring is coming…

Wasn’t planning on running but work up early again and saw it was going to be a beautiful sunrise so I quickly tossed my running gear on and headed out along the Ocean.

Had to get out a little earlier this morning before heading into work. Wish I could have seen the sunrise vs overcast weather still glad to get this run done.

Was a cloudy morning in the Prairie and at first I really didn’t want to go for a run but I have a lot of travel this evening so knew it would be good to get out.

Found a quick break in my day around lunchtime to go run around some muddy trails. Afternoon full of meeting so I had to make sure I didn’t spend too much time out there today.
Wasn’t many tracks out there today after the snowfall this morning. I did try to find my way paths that were more plowed at one point to avoid ice chunks under the snow. I crossed a path looking out to the conservation area and can’t wait to get back in there.

📸 Photoblogging - Day 1 - These have been essential this season in keeping me feel secure on some very icy runs.
Realized I had some posts sitting in Ulysses that I crafted while on vacation with limited internet. Once we got reception I forgot to post them so I am going to be doing some cleanup. Hopefully nothing gets disrupted as I backdate a couple posts like this -> First time running along a beach.
Exploring a new area tonight and was unfortunately surprised with a lot of hills. I was not really ready for all that up hill climbing. I almost debated making my own shortcut up this wall..

Kid had late basketball practice tonight and I realized right before I left I didn’t have any coffee for tomorrow. Nothing a quick run couldn’t solve through the ice, slush and snow. Coffee problem solved!
Another beautiful morning run along the river in Rochester before back to back basketball games. The weather said it was 23°F but felt much warmer in the sun.

Long break in between basketball games today and the sun was out so I took advantage of the nice paths by the river in Rochester. Wish I wouldn’t have eaten so much for lunch but oh well.



Found some plowed sidewalks and some not so plowed like this one today on my run. Since I was pressed for time today it just added to the work out trudging through this deep snow. 🏃♂️

The snow might not be as bad as people thought but running through it was a fun little challenge tonight. Also, probably shouldn’t have done it 20 min after eating dinner 🤷🏻♂️ 🌨️

Busy middle of the day today with hockey so I had to force myself to get up early today or this run would most likely have never happened. Weather was good and I was feeling good but still worried about icy patches out there.

Well the instructions from Open Core Legacy Patcher worked well and I have my old 2013 MacBook Air now running Ventura. Haven’t installed anything else so we will see how it goes later.

With all the rain yesterday and sun I was hoping this trail was cleared to run on. It was good until I turned and was met with this. Unfortunately, I didn’t bring my skates 😒

After a busy day I found time to get out in this warm weather to run and watch the sunset. Glad more of our ice is melting away.
So far today: ✅ Early morning run (was regretting it when I woke up after a late night) ✅ Coffee and a couple min to relax ✅ Made Breakfast for the kids ✅Watching son bowl
and this is only the start of the busy day
