Running
Another sunny day and was glad to find exactly 30 min free in my schedule to run. I should have kept to the streets as the sidewalks are not quite clear yet. Possibly worse right now as the ice melts and freezes every day so it is super slick.
Finally some warm weather and less icy streets and paths. I did happen to find a trail to make my way down to Red Rock Lake and then did a little exploring. Would have tested the ice but looked a little too open water for me.
With the warmer weather yesterday I had to try to keep to the streets as much as possible as sidewalks were sheets of uneven ice. Longest run of the year which seems like a shock to say as it is already February.
Maybe I shouldn’t have tried to do two days in a row as I was feeling this run in my legs today. However, the sun was out again and I had some time to kill so I figured it would be good to get out again.
Easing back into things after 10 days with no activities. Starting February off with a short run to make sure everything is working and besides being more tired than normal all was well.
It is days like this I wish I could go outside and do something. Not that I feel bad as I have heard some get this worse but rational side of my brain is telling me that I know better and should not go outside for a run. I will just watch the birds instead. 😁
Chalk this up to a first as I had some time in between my son’s late basketball games tonight so I decided to go on a run with no real running cloths (or lights) 😆.
Might have felt a little more sore running today than I thought after yesterday’s spill. However, I stumbled upon this fun pond hockey rink.. Well done 👏🏒
I do like running in a light snow fall and seeing the snow stick to that trees. However, that was quickly changed in my mind when I was reminded the hard way of the ice under this snow I couldn’t see 🤦♂️
The temperature is at that fun point of slush in some areas and very slick in others. Ended up with just wet socks and shoes while what felt like skating my miles tonight.
Sometimes when running, I find myself purposely or unintentionally at a dead end or cul-de-sac, I am interested to see the signs they put up. This is from a cul-de-sac and I am not sure why someone would think they could drive or dump here with all the houses around 🤷🏻♂️
Well what was rain today turned into a snow run tonight with no lights. Sidewalks started to get a little slick but not to bad and I was able to look up and capture this. 🌨️
The strange things you find in the middle of busy streets when running. I have to think this looked really odd carrying the last mile of my run though. 🔨🤔
Just an amazing find running today. Utilizing all this excess show we have been getting by building a huge fort in the middle of the cul-de-sac. Well done family or families that are involved!
This is really a minor gripe in the grand scheme of things but I wish the sidewalks were clear. This should be a sidewalk next to this this busier road that was my only way home so I played a frogger style going from side street to side street. 🐸
Junk miles today… I say this because I had only a certain amount of time to do this run. I was so worried that I wouldn’t get back to my daughters dance studio in time so when my shoe came untied at mile 1 I didn’t stop to tie it and kept trucking to the end. 🤦♂️
Normally I stop to take pictures but this was taking while moving. I feel it is clearer than I thought it would have turned out.
