Running

    ∞

    Got these miles in before a turn in events today that had me driving to Duluth tonight. Glad I added the extra mile today as I was feeling good and in case I don’t get another run in I will be happy with what I have done this week.

    Bare trees stand silently near a frosty riverbank, under a cloudy sky, with the sun peeking through. The horizon is lined with distant, leafless woods.

    Nothing special on this run today just getting some miles and thinking done. However, I happened to pull up the Training Today app and realized I had a 0 so maybe I should have taken a rest day.

    A long, empty road stretches into the distance under a cloudy sky, flanked by residential houses and leafless trees. The sun is visible, casting a soft light.

    Good run to start the week off in between a bunch of meetings. Found another very nice ice rink along my meandering route as well. 🏒

    Cold one out running today with temps low single digits in not only actual but feels like. Wanted to get some miles before the car trip to Iowa this afternoon.

    Had the trail to myself on this New Year’s Day run. Good way to start 2025.

    Dirt path stretches forward, bordered by sparse snow and dry leaves, surrounded by leafless trees in a quiet forest setting under an overcast sky.

    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.

    A snow-covered fallen branch arches over a narrow, winding path in a dense, leafless forest, creating a natural gateway amidst the wintry scenery.

    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.
