A Slow Cold Monday 5K

When the sidewalks and streets aren’t super clear of snow, or packed down from traffic, it makes running and having traction a challenge to say the least. Sometimes it’s harder to enjoy the run when I get slowed down, like by the snow. My thoughts focus ends up mostly on trying to get through the snow instead of enjoying it. And then it’s even easier to forget why I’m running in the first place.

I almost didn’t make it out this morning. It was another one of those mornings where the thought of getting more sleep felt more appealing them going out and running. What helped push me onwards was looking at my planned training run for Tuesday and seeing an interval run, knowing that if I didn’t get a decent warmup today and interval run the next day would be even more brutal. This is one reason why, for me, having a training plan and a race to train for are a big motivator for me.

    Tackling The 25K Training Speed Work

    The weather this morning was definitely more like Spring. I was on par to start but by the last couple of intervals I was losing steam. Still had a decent overall pace. I enjoyed the time to just be outside and have some quiet to think. #HWI #WhyIRun #Run4Water #RiverBankRun

    It’s The Abominable Snowman!

    Let’s just say it was a little cold outside. I still don’t understand why people, and businesses, and churches couldn’t have their sidewalks clear by now. For those that got them cleared you are a blessing to us runners. I made the mistake of using my CamelBak again. The line froze again at about mile…

    First Frozen Beard Run of 2021

    This morning was a longer interval run, and it it was a lot colder than it has been, thus the frozen beard. It tool me a bit to get going this morning but I fought the urge to go back to bed and got out there and got it done. #HWI #Run4Water #WhyIRun #RiverBankRun

  1. There maybe have been duplicates I’m some other cases this past week since I’ve been working on changing my syndication process. I hadn’t considered email subscriptions to me site. I’m going to have to see about being able to short circuit those emails somehow.

  2. This was some freakout with the WordPress mobile app this morning. A failed image upload caused the app to keep trying the same post over and over again reporting to the app failure but in fact posts were happening.
