An Easy Saturday “Long Run” To Finish Out The Week

ByTim Nolte Updated on

I got out for a long overdue Saturday run, a “long run” as the training plan classified it. As expected, since it was a timed run I got more distance in than what was called for since pace is always a challenge for me. I still only got 3 runs in this week since my alarm didn’t get set on Thanksgiving day to get a short run in.

At around 26°F it was a pretty crisp and frosty morning. I don’t think I had quite enough layers on but that kept me pretty motivated to keep up the pace to keep warm. That’s one aspect of winter running that I don’t think people really considering about winter running. With the temperatures very cold you have a pretty strong built-in motivator to keep up the pace. I suppose it could also be cause for giving up sooner. If you can get yourself to the halfway mark going out you don’t have much choice to then make that trek back.

    Game Time, Wahoo Marbles

    Love playing games with my kids. We want to start doing a family game night once a week. Jacob enjoyed beating me at marbles. Then we had fun playing Rush Hour, and Jacob wanted to keep playing instead of having snack.

    Best Treadmill Run So Far

    ByTim Nolte
    Back home at the gym and I had my best distance yet on the treadmill. I think putting in the extra time on my parents treadmill over the holiday trip was well worth it. [endomondowp type=’workout’ workout_id=’853496010′]

    ByTim Nolte
    Hoping to steps things up another notch this week and also get all 4 of my runs in this week. I need to work off all of that Thanksgiving food, like the entire pie I ended up eating myself since no one else wanted/liked it. #HWI #Run4Water #RiverBankRun Give the gift of water: https://timn.me/2020HWI
