Running

    Maybe I shouldnโ€™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. ๐Ÿ˜

    Chalk this up to a first as I had some time in between my sonโ€™s late basketball games tonight so I decided to go on a run with no real running cloths (or lights) ๐Ÿ˜†.

    Might have felt a little more sore running today than I thought after yesterdayโ€™s spill. However, I stumbled upon this fun pond hockey rink.. Well done ๐Ÿ‘๐Ÿ’

    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 couldnโ€™t see ๐Ÿคฆโ€โ™‚๏ธ

    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 ๐Ÿคท๐Ÿปโ€โ™‚๏ธ

    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. ๐ŸŒจ๏ธ

    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. ๐Ÿ”จ๐Ÿค”

    Sometimes to break up a long drive you just need to stop at a random park and go for a run.

    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!

    Going to be a busy day so this was really the only time and distance I had to work with.

    Had to pick the car up from the shop today so it seemed like a good time to get a run in.

    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. ๐Ÿธ

    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 wouldnโ€™t get back to my daughters dance studio in time so when my shoe came untied at mile 1 I didnโ€™t stop to tie it and kept trucking to the end. ๐Ÿคฆโ€โ™‚๏ธ

    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.

    Loving the bright sun reflecting off the frost of the trees today. Should have wore spikes running today. Letโ€™s just hope someone was watching my slip sliding display in a nearby cul-de-sac. Didnโ€™t crash as I caught myself with my hands but Iโ€™m sure it was a sight.

    Winter running tools needed during this night run. The side streets have not been plowed great and after an above freezing day with lots of menting snow the temps have turned again and are dropping. Didnโ€™t fall.. Win! ๐ŸงŠ

    As much fun as blazing my own trail is I will take the hint as it is snowing again and assume this trail is closed. Thankfully the sidewalk I was on was cleared so it wasnโ€™t too bad out running this evening. Just still snowingโ€ฆ ๐ŸŒจ๏ธ

    Nothing like running shuffling through deep snow today as there was probably 4-5 inches already on the ground and not plowed in some places. It was fun out there though โ˜ƒ๏ธ๐Ÿƒ๐Ÿปโ€โ™‚๏ธ

    I did not do a face plant in the snow but the last 5 blocks was straight into the wind/snow.
