Well damn.  That heading should be Wednesday. Damn. Being old and retired…

Nope. Weekday takes precedence over numerical date in the event of a conflict/typo.

Thursday February 26th:

8k trail hike+run with my sweetie.

1 did two short sprints mid-hike, the first was by design, the second was due to the discovery of the loss of some of my trail food from a pocket. Backtracked 700m and found it, no littering and also I didn’t starve.

11*C this Thursday morning.

Started a road run but had recurrent Achilles soreness from Sunday (shoes rubbing the area that is still apparently rather sensitive.)

Switched to my lower rise Topo trail runners and knocked out a mostly easy 5k instead, no issues.

Will have to be careful with shoe selection for a few more days probably.

Humid 25*C, with a couple moderate efforts it was getting to be “unpleasantly warm”

Decent weather, 41°F feels like temp of 34°F.

2 mile warm up, 10 x 1 minute on 1 minute off 10K pace, 8 x 30 seconds on 30 seconds off 5k pace all using an incline, and a 2 mile cool down for 8.2 miles total. Felt pretty good as a sharpening workout for Saturday's 10k.

Inch of snow overnight. Plows got most of it on the busy secondary roads, not so much on the less busy roads. Still made for a bit of a challenging 7K run commute to work. Legs felt a little bagged, and the thaw freeze cycle taking place, decide to subway close to home, and run just 2K from the Subway station

Easy 5.5, it was still icy on the paved path but streets were clear, ran about 50-50 on path-street.

Finally a sunny day with temps in the high 30s.  Snow that I slogged through on Monday is all gone, so an uneventful 2 miles for me. 

Being out of shape sucks!
