Quiet Sunday - Groundhog Day
The roads are a mess, looks like another hike in the woods today...

Re: Quiet Sunday - Groundhog Day
10k with the clinic this morning. Snow packed and slippery in the cemetery, so it was very slow.

8k with the peeps done. They continued on for another 5. Glad it is done but it wasnt as bad as I thought it may be. That and Martha aka Rob took it easy on me at the start.
The Summer of Eng is over.
Re: Quiet Sunday - Groundhog Day
I read on Twitter that the MGT was clear, so I headed out, optimistic. Well, it was cleared/plowed, but not salted, so there was a thin layer of ice between the puddles. After nearly falling about 500m into my run, I turned around. I briefly contemplated running on neighbourhood streets, but that proved to be a mess of slush and ankle-deep puddles.

Re: Quiet Sunday - Groundhog Day
6 miles outside today...so much snow but too nice of a day temperature wise to keep it indoors! Shoveled twice today alone as well....pooped now, time to rest.
Re: Quiet Sunday - Groundhog Day
Break day, with the exception of the 90 minute snow moving exercise. If I see any groundhogs on my street they best run!

Re: Quiet Sunday - Groundhog Day
Cross-training - i.e. shoveling!
Re: Quiet Sunday - Groundhog Day
First run in over 2 weeks. Felt so nice to be outside even with the slippy snowy roads. 6km done with a side of shovelling.

Seeing the ice, I opted for a 6k walk instead - plus some vigorous shoveling.

Re: Quiet Sunday - Groundhog Day
I ran for the 2nd time since my injury. My first time was early in the week, I lasted just 9 minutes before my leg wouldn't let me continue. Today I ran for 15 minutes non stop it was just 2 km but my hamstring didn't hurt too much. I been doing stretching, strengthening and cycling several times a week since before Christmas, and my Physiotherapist reminds me that I'll be doing the work, not him. I was pleasantly surprised by today's run.
It's slow progress , but a step (many steps) in the right direction.

Re: Quiet Sunday - Groundhog Day
Had a tumble on the ice last weekend doing a race pace 1/2...had to skip Sundays as I'd aggravated my left ITBS. Only ever struggled with the right before. Ran Wed quit after 3.5k, been aggressively rolling it and managed 7k before it bothered me yesterday. Hit 9.7k today before I stopped....nice to see it moving in the right direction quickly. Fingers crossed it keeps on improving fast.

Re: Quiet Sunday - Groundhog Day
The YMCA here in Medicine Hat has about 20 tm's. But only 1 is metric. They just bought 3 more and not one is metric. Why ??
I ran 7km on the only metric tm in the place.
