Running

    ∞

    Figured I would do a short run today to round out the year. Felt good and not too bad outside either.

    Short weather today as the temps hovered around 40°F. Felt good running out there but glad I avoided the trails as they for sure would have been muddy as you can see most of the snow has vanished.

    After a nice day off yesterday I decided to use today, of what could have been a work day, to get some fitness work in and meander around for some miles. Can’t complain in high 35°F weather today.

    New bridge on a random run today as I needed to go out and get some balloons. Felt good and meandered my way through the snow and trees.

    Very sluggish run today. Maybe having a couple extras days off this past weekend didn’t help, or it could be all the extra food and sweets.

    Had to drop a gift off at the school for my daughter’s teacher as she left it on the counter at home. I figured on my drive back since it was around lunch time it would be the perfect time to get a short run done in an area of streets I go by and never have done before. ✅

    How could I pass up this snow day run! My only regret was I decided to go trails and I realized that the boardwalk has some bumps so started to take it real slow as I was blazing my own trail through the woods.

    After such a long day yesterday I really needed this run. It was cold out but I didn’t notice it one bit as I was all bundled up and just kept moving.

    After a long weekend away from home and no running it was good to find some time to get a run in today. The weather wasn’t too bad at all but a little slick on some sidewalks.

    As strange as this day started I still found 45 min for myself this morning to get a run in. I think I will be thanking myself for this as the weekend will be a long one.

    It was a real cold one today but again thankful the sun was out to keep this run warm enough. Still would like to find some more miles tomorrow if possible before a busy hockey / swim weekend.

    Snow and Cold today on this run circling the lake. The first lap was pretty cold the whole time and I made my own tracks but thankfully after warming up the second lap wasn’t to bad and the sun out helped too. (10°F actual with a -6°F feel like)

    Monday morning miles. Meeting got canceled and the rest of the day was looking full so after a day off yesterday I decided to go a little longer today than lately.

    Couldn’t pass up this great weather today to go out for a run in shorts!

    I had limited time on this Friday but it was warmer today than the others this week so I decided to get out for a run. This pond was mostly frozen but not all the way in a couple parts. Let’s just hope no one tries to go out there yet.

    Smile! 😀 Why not, I am out running which I enjoy and my ankle didn’t bother me which I was worried about. Also, the sun was out today and no wind making it not bad at all even though the temp was 18°F.

    Don’t let the sun in this photo fool you as it was up till this point on the run it was windy and overcast. Running wise things were good until about 1 mile from home and my ankle started hurting a pain I have not felt before so let’s hope that goes away soon. 😬

    It felt good to get out for a run tonight before dinner. Felt a little sluggish after not being overly productive all weekend but overall it wasn’t too cold out or at least I am starting to get used to it.

    Was a cold run out there today and I seemed to have ran across some pumpkin massacre on the trail. I am not sure I have seen so many destroyed pumpkins in one place.

    Orange pumpkins are scattered along a leaf-covered forest path, surrounded by bare trees and a fallen log, creating an autumnal atmosphere.

    After some debating yesterday I did decided to sign up for a 10K Turkey Trot  with a little encouragement from people 🦃 . Was a chilly morning but had fun out there.
