Forecast was for a rainy day, so I initially planned to take the day off from running. But, as I walked to the bus station, the rain took a break, so I decided to run 2K to the subway station. Same thing in the afternoon, enough of a break that I could run 7K home as well after work. Made the mistake of wearing my heavier waterproof trail hikers, so there was noticeably less bounce in those shoes, as compared to my Brooks Cascadia trail shoes that I normally wear in foul weather for running.

8.1 miles (1:10) easy on a mostly snow-covered bike path. It was clear on the sunny spots, about an inch of snow in the shade. 30F sunny. A pleasant run.

56.2km (35 miles) at 22*C (74F)
Partly cloudy and somewhat breezy.
Good weather for a personal distance best.
In 11 days I’ll see if I can triple it

It was way too hot for my run tonight. 73°F with a real feel of 74°F.

1.5 mile warm up, 3 x 2 miles at threshold with a walking/standing rest between, And a 1.5 mile cool down. I did the repeats on the track to save my knee. I really kicked my butt on this one and still had to do the farm chores when I got home lol

Temps were suppose to only hit a high of 45°F, but went up to 55°F. So nice run commutes to work and later home. 7K each way.

New video came out today showing Kenya’s Michael Kimani Kamau going off course for a few meters before doing a U turn to get back on course. There was confusion, and distraction with a supporter carrying a Kenyan flag running next to him, right at where the lead police motorcycles, official cars and bicycle leads exited the course 400 meters before the finish. There was course marshals trying to direct the support vehicles, and the flag bearer to the exit, and with all the confusion Kimani followed an exiting police motorcycle. Kimani probably lost 8-10 seconds.

Crazy finish.
Nathan Martin has a great story. Went to a smaller school and wasn't anything outstanding in high school and college, but has worked his way up the rankings while coaching and teaching high school.

Easy 7 miles with friends this morning. It was spring-like, in the low 40s, but we have more snow on the way and down to single digits this weekend.
