The sunrise, of course, doesn’t care if we watch it or not. It will keep on being beautiful, even if no one bothers to look at it.
Haruki Murakami
I run early just to see the sunrise.
Today I saw the sun and the moon.
Well done, sky.
10 trail miles before it got mushy.
Happy Valentine's Day!

Here comes the sun
And I say, "It's all right"

45° and sunny today!
The snow was getting a little mushy and the ice has disappeared.
1 layer of clothes!
Orange was the color to celebrate non-darkness.
4.7 miles of happiness.

When you get a good workout in, you feel good for the rest of the day. It helps clear the mind.

Speed intervals today.
Felt good throughout even though I was running against wind gusts half the time.
Sore upper body from heavy lifting yesterday. (The best!)
Enjoy your day!
Mine is A+!

Yesterday's speed interval workout was meh.
Some rus are like that.
Legs never loosened up.
It makes me appreciate the really good runs.
Luckily, you can run anytime you want.
My brother texted me this photo from California.

Snow was packed, the ice minimal, the people non-existent.

Speed work in regular shoes finally.
5° and sunny. The ice is slowly lessening.
The other ICE is still here terrorizing people.
So glad I can run away from the awfulness for an hour.
For some, it is never-ending.😥
Photo is hope for spring.

Spikes again.
4 miles was good enough.
Vaseline on my face works well as do the hand warmers.
I saw an albino duck!
No more outside running until this cold snap abates.

I live in the Twin Cities. Everyday ICE is a constant threat to people I work with, family, our way of life.
So I run.

And cried on my way home.
I think of Anne Frank.
Still I hope.

Intervals today. They weren't as bad as Poe's.
Opted for the dam road again. Ice/ICE is still everywhere.
10@1:30.
At least there's no cars.
Just walkers & dog walkers.
We are heading into the deep freeze now. 🥶

Start with Hotel California, finish with Freebird, cool down to Comfortably Numb.

You're only one workout away from a good mood. Unknown.
7 trail miles the hard way: light layer of fresh snow over ice.
An adventure and a workout! No falls.
A beautiful morning on the trail.
Can't wait for the ice and ICE to be gone.

Please share.. ICE THUGS shot & killed a woman in Minneapolis. Then attack citizens point blank with teargas grenades, pepper ball guns & chemical spray in the faces. Of course, Greg Bovino was in the mix. He needs to be brought up for murder charges.🤬🤬🤬🤬🤬

Finally was able to run in my favorite part of the park reserve.
Trails were somewhat groomed but soft.
6.5 miles in no wind, 16°, made for a great workout and a satisfying run!

When spikes don't work you know it's icy.
A thin layer of light snow hid the ice.
All the runners were slipping or falling.
Hiking almost 5 miles in a frigid wind.
Still better than a treadmill.
