Got out after finishing work and getting home. It was a cold and icy one, windchill feeling like 7°F. 8.5K distance.

Dunno about the Hawks, but how about my Broncos yesterday?
To celebrate, I ran the rest of my home trail, all the parts that I didn’t do yesterday.
9k, -2C with my local run club, invited a buddy so I ran his pace.
11k, 5c midday to cover the middle (easiest) parts of the trail, finally,
4k, 15c midafternoon to cover the section that I cheesed out on yesterday (penalty laps in biathlon parlance)
Between yesterday and today, in 28 hours I covered the entire trail plus a few road entrances and exits for 39km.
Which is a lovely start, cause in about 2 months I intend to cover 162k in 28 hours or better.
And my heel is sore, but doesn’t feel “that bad”.
Let’s do this.

I set out for a bit over 4 but I only got 2.5 miles in. Around mile 1 I started walking up a hill(which I haven't done in years) and went about a quarter mile after I started running again and turned around. It sucks but I'm not too bummed out about it, just hoping tomorrow is better!
It was also sloppy and slushy here but the sun was out and it was about 36°F so it was pretty nice weather.
I contemplated this concept quite a bit today. I walk up hills a lot, even in races. (I do tend to do a lot of races with crazy steep and/or long hills tho). But even on rolling hills, I will often switch from run to power walk to try to maintain iso power. That said, Saturday I had the same kind of run you described— although i started in earnest and had some fast parts mixed in with zone 1 in the first third — I basically hit the wall and limped (walked) home even though the last part was basically flat. Still happy with my 15k trail run at 4*C because I still got about 75% of the hardest part of my home trail done… setting up Sunday’s workout…

Thought about running.
Decided (correctly) that date night was more important.

Just mountain biking for me.
I suppose I was “tortising” the local MTB race.
I volunteered to ride “sweep” behind the slowest rider in each category.
I set PRs for my two slowest times EVER on that particular 2.5 mile loop. Not just slowest times on a bike— slowest times bike/run/hike!
I guess they turned out to be a 23 minute mile pace for the kiddos followed by a much faster 13-14 minute mile pace for the beginner men.
10 miles ridden total. No time left for a run after all that business.

Another 5k on my new road shoes (12*C).
Same course as Monday, still like the shoes
Saucony Ride 18, picked them up on clearance over the holidays.
7
4k trail run (17*C) still warm out
Followed it with a 1:20 mountain bike ride
Good times
8
5k road on my NEW SHOES
17*C unseasonably warm
short run but good news is no heel issues (I’ve been having a lot of sore heel issues on both road and trail last 6 months or so)
