Goosies!
I had to pause early in my run to visit with the goslings & their parents. 😁
A great run today.
✨What seems impossible today will one day be your warm-up.✨

Another hill day following last Saturday's route.
It didn't wreck me like last week so, progress?

Sunny & a cool breeze.
Does it get any better than that for running? 😁
I forgot how hilly this route was.
Ibuprofen where are you?

First Trail Run of the year! 🏃🏽
It felt so amazing to get outside. 😁
It's been a long time since my last running post. I had to drop into Maintaining for a couple of months due to a health concern.

I'd hoped for a bit of a longer run, but that felt just right today.
I'm so damn tired of the treadmill but the trails are still icy. 🫤

My thoughts on Wayne Gretzky and his friendship with Trump.
I'm betting some seemingly good people thought Hitler was an amazing person and called him a friend.
A great legacy can be easily destroyed by one bad choice. How can you be friends with somebody that attacks your birth country?🇨🇦🇨🇦🇨🇦

Slowly building up my mileage after my knee strain. No discomfort today. 😁
Still struggling with fatigue but feeling a little bit better today. HRV is still fubar.
I'm suspecting Runner's Anemia.

Still struggling with energy levels.
HRV is badly unbalanced & going in the wrong direction.
Long run tomorrow & my confidence is low. 🫤
