Wanted to try a run that doesn't end with me up at my max BPM, so I took it easier today. Final stats were the same as always. Just slower. Still nearly max BPM. Whattyagonnado!

We just got a rescue a few weeks ago. I think he's comfy here!

Dropped almost 0:30 per mile off the last time I ran this out-and-back. Can't tell if I'm getting faster because I'm training more or because it's not 90 degrees outside. We'll never know!!

Great run at lunch today. Legs were good, cardio was good, and I felt strong on the second half hills today. Fantastic weather today, low 70s with a light mist in the second half. Hope to get moving more often.

Good run last night. It was still above 80F at 8:30pm. Didn't feel nearly as good as last time, but ran slightly faster and still no stops. Hopefully the next run can be nice and flat to give me a break from these hills.

I felt good tonight. Didn't push anything, not setting out to prove anything, just making sure I can run the whole time with no stops on very hilly terrain. I had plenty left in my legs and lungs at the end. Amazing what a couple of flat runs will do for your hilly endurance.

Lunchtime run! My new workplace is a block away from the Towpath, so I ran a quick out and back. Out was downhill, back was uphill. Not great, but not bad! Run and scenery were good. Our shower facilities, not so much.

Up and at em this morning! Haven't found time to do a lot of running, so I'm making/forcing time to get some in. 3.2mi around the neighborhood, hills and all. It's good for you, they say.

Had a gorgeous 65°F lunchtime run along the towpath. The weather was so good I went out way too fast and my loop back was not fun at all. Lung and leg power have a lot more to go, but! Good to get out and go.

Beautiful evening to run, and maybe the weather's turned enough to make this a regular thing again. It's been ~4 mths since I badly sprained my ankle, and the up/down movement is strong and stable so running should be a full go. Just gotta make the time.

More treadmillin' tonight; who knows when the temp will get consistently above freezing to head back outside. Treated myself to my fav ice cream after a shower, and I'm in heaven.

Been a couple months since I've truly ran. Severely rolled my ankle on a hike two days after Thanksgiving, so I'm building it all back. It's also v cold now, so I'm treadmillin' it until it's a skoch warmer. Really feeling it in the legs! Go run!

Late on this, but a lastfm wrapped for 2024! More Ayreon than I thought, but I finally grabbed an .MP3 copy of The Human Equation and played it like crazy for a couple months. Total time listened to is probably Haken. Viva la metal I guess!

10K done! Glad to run with my cousin, who is faster than I am as she pulled my sorry and soggy butt along. Goal time was 54:00, but I had a pretty fast course and a pathological need to fill in gaps to the next runner. Really happy with the result. Happy Thanksgiving to all.

Easy livin', easy runnin' tonight. We were taught in high school that the run after a hard workout day was to clear the lactic acid from the legs to prepare for the next workout or race. Never bothered to learn if that was true! But laid into the theory tonight. Thursday is 10k day.

Felt a little sluggish in my legs tonight, not unexpected with the previous run being a longer run. Maintaining away; last run I wanted to give moderate effort to. Monday will be easy. Thursday is race day.

Only a couple more training runs until next week's 10k! Concentrated on breathing tonight. Overall breath support and cardio fitness feels where I need it. Any lingering virus-y symptoms from last week are long gone by now, and I'm back to fighting form.

Back on the usual neighborhood run tonight. Ran it clockwise for a bit of variety. Knee felt better tonight; was a little worried it would nag at me these last two runs after having two weeks off. T-minus 11 days until the Thanksgiving 10k!

First run in two weeks, thanks to vacation and illnesses, plural. Wanted to ease back in before extending mileage again in prep for the 10k on Thanksgiving. Just finished up virus #2 this evening and felt good enough to run in the 40s and mist.

Midday run from the office, and it went alright. Only a day and a half rest from the prior run, and my legs didn't feel 100%, but that's how it goes sometimes. 8:22/mi is a pretty good effort for this route, and I'm pretty happy with it.

Last two runs, since I forgot last Wednesday. Both were hilly, both I felt great. When working uphills, I try to concentrate on my knees, making sure I get enough elevation and drive upwards to keep my momentum going through the hill. Form-wise, everything else seems to follow nicely.

Morning run around the neighborhood today. Each mile was faster than the last, which is huge considering the elevation change in miles 2 & 4. Really gearing up now to the 10k on Thanksgiving, and I feel I'm in a pretty good spot.

Lunch run at the office today, and it went mostly well. Effort was great. Tried a feature on my COROS Pace 2 running watch that gives you directions on a preset route, and it worked great for 98% of the run, which I will deem a smashing success.
