Running Mania

The roads are a mess, looks like another hike in the woods today...

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.

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.

1K run done in 6:30.

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.

Break day, with the exception of the 90 minute snow moving exercise. If I see any groundhogs on my street they best run!

No shadows here.

Shovelling and then some

Cross-training - i.e. shoveling!

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.

20k in 2 hours.
Great way to begin a great day!
Go Seahawks!!!

Two miles on the treadmill. Going to try and head out for a snowshoe shortly while there is still some glorious sunshine!

26K in the cold sunshine.

11K on the Rideau Canal. Loved it!

I am going to run on the tm once I get to the gym.

4k easy run/walk with clinic. Chilly day, happy participants - pretty good combination.

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

5k for me, same route as yesterday. Today was +6, so capris, one layer of sleeves and a vest!!!

5.4k between church and Super Bowl party.

14k for me in some lovely (although still chilly) sunshine. Funny - today's -9 (-13WC) felt downright balmy after yesterday!

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.

Nice run today but wish the wind would stop or the temperature would come up into the -single digits. 10k

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.

BTW have I ever mentioned how much I hate road running? Come on Spring...I'm count in on ya to prove that rodent wrong.

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.

LOL, I was thinking the exact same thing today!
