5.5 miles fairly slow, legs still feeling last weekend's 50K ski. Perfect late winter day with sunshine, just a breeze, and low 30s.

Hopefully we’ll get one more weekend on the snow this season — planning a Colorado trip at the end of March. Not counting on any snow though :/

For housekeeping… maybe this one belongs here

Happy Wednesday;)

Moderate effort 4 mile run on a nice sunny and slightly breezy 42° day.

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

Running / Friday - February 27th

It’s Friday!

Had a nice 7k road run this morning. Already up to 22*C (75F) by the time I got out the door.

Started out running a few blocks with my DW (who was riding a road bike). Finished the 5k neighborhood loop, then after doing a few odd jobs around the house, ran back out 1k to meet her on the way back in.

Last Sunday’s Achilles soreness is all-but-gone (still a couple pairs of shoes that irritate it, but my road shoes did fine today which is good because these same shoes irritated it 2 days ago. )

Today was supposed to be just an easy run… but listening to Fitz and The Tantrums - More Than Just A Dream got me motivated to pick up the pace and ended up with a few zone 2 and zone 3 splits to keep time to the music.

I finally got my Philadelphia Broad Street Run invite today, almost two weeks after they picked the lottery winners. But I'm in and I'm pumped!

Today(Thursday) I ran a little over 4 miles and got in some strides. Legs are feeling a little bit tired, I skipped my off day this week, but I'm going to massage them tonight and take it really easy tomorrow night in preparation for my 10K Saturday. The weather was good, 38°F and sun till it got dark around mile 3.

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”
