Running
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.
Got some streets checked off the list today while the youngest was at swimming. Crazy how the other day running it was almost 50°F and today’s run was 25°F.
Decided to take advantage of this beautiful Minnesota weather today and put a long run in. The first two miles I was really second guessing my decision but then felt much better as more miles ticked by.
It was an amazing day out today for a run. It is just too bad that my body didn’t feel the same as I think it has been tired since the long run over the weekend. That is alright these miles help build the mile base. 😉
Killing some time while the youngest is at swimming. I kind of wish I would had a little more time to run but this was probably good enough as I ate about 30 min before so felt sluggish.
Couldn’t pass up on this amazing day to get out for a long run. Decided to go find some hills around Christmas Lake.
After spending the day working and messing around with other tasks I decide to do a short run to get the body moving today. It was a good nighttime run and felt great.
Some days you just don’t have it. 🤷♂️
It wasn’t even the coldest day, but I felt cold and tired the entire run. Pushed through to hit my usual number, only to realize I stopped at 6 instead of 6.2. 🫠 Guess the sums up the run and day!
Glad it was warmer out today so I took advantage of this warm weather to get a longer run in. I felt pretty good overall but probably helped having the day off yesterday.
It was another cold day but I was getting a little stir crazy sitting with no running and I couldn’t go a third. So I decided to venture out for a short one and it wasn’t too bad since there was not much wind. Also, got my yearly Frozen Face so I can check that off my list.
Morning run and the weather felt great. Well the weather felt great but my legs were screaming at me. I probably shouldn’t have pushed it but the next 4 days are going to be cold and I wanted to get a mile builder.
So nice out today I ditched my outer shell jacket for this run. Didn’t have time for a super long one today which would have been nice but at the same point I was feeling tired so probably worked out for the best.
This run felt good today even though at the time I went out the clouds rolled in. I did come across this city water truck “smoothing” out this city ice rink. I always wondered how they resurfaced them.
It was not as cold out as I thought it was going to be which was a good thing as it was 0°F. It was good to get out for a run after a busy hockey tournament weekend.
I felt like I had to make a quick run along the water today. However, more sleep would have been better but after I woke up I could not fall back to sleep so i figured I would be productive. It would be interesting to hit this route sometime in the summer as I am sure it is a nice view then as well.
