Running

    Even with the colder weather it was actually a good day for a run. Explored some new areas and then took the easy trail to get back to the car in the end.

    Bare trees frame a view of a calm lake with scattered snow on the ground under a clear blue sky.

    Needed to move today after a long day of being on calls and knowing my night was going to entail updating slide decks. However, on this run if I would have been fast enough I could have snapped a picture of two beavers that quick jumped in the water and swam away here. FYI it is snowing… πŸŒ¨οΈπŸ€¦β€β™‚οΈ

    A calm lake reflects trees and overcast skies, with ducks swimming, surrounded by grasses and sparse residential areas.

    When you see a green arrow while out on a run pointing into the woods you follow it right? Well it didn’t lead me to anything but took my mind off the back to cold weather again today.

    A green arrow on pavement points towards a leaf-covered trail flanked by bare trees, suggesting a path through a woodland area.

    Running tonight I can close to a track and this came up on my watch. Very interesting and I wonder if it helps with track accuracy (which I am assuming it would). Now that I think about it this might have been around the spot I had my GPS issue tonight. 🀨

    Between running into the wind for the first half of this run and the GPS screw up. I am not sure how far or fast I really ran πŸ€·β€β™‚οΈ.

    Rippled lake waters brush against a concrete shoreline, under a clear blue sky, bordered by bare deciduous trees.

    When we started the goal was 8 as we both have been a little down for the count. As we approached stopping at 12 I swayed the vote to run another loop to get us on par with plan. Overall legs were good but my stomach not so much but we got the miles. Also ,we have been spoiled as it was cold today!

    Decided to make it a short easy run today on as many trails as I could find. Was the perfect start to the day in the woods with the sun peaking through.

    A tranquil woodland trail surrounded by leafless trees with a bed of fallen leaves covering the ground, indicating late autumn or winter. Sunlight filters through the branches, creating a serene atmosphere.

    Some days it feel hard and today was that day. I decided to use the not feeling great run to pick up some streets I hadn’t completed. Nice to see the new completed building at Round Lake, should be a nice addition as the old building had no windows, no places to sit, and never used.

    A modern building with large glass windows, a prominent wooden facade, and a sloped roof, nestled in a barren landscape with a leafless tree to the left and a pine tree to the right. A concrete pathway with steps leads up to the building

    Where did the trail go? I thought they hadn’t started construction around Braemar yet and I was right and wrong as I found myself running through chopped up trees. Let’s just say I don’t know if I was on the trail at points, had to walk over bad parts, and I got some nice cuts on my legs.

    A forest trail covered with fallen leaves and surrounded by bare deciduous trees, indicating it’s either autumn or winter, with sunlight casting long shadows across the path.

    A serene nature trail with barren trees and a wooden bridge in the background, illuminated by soft sunlight filtering through the branches.

    Now that is is finally getting warmer out and the millage is creeping up I realized I am in need of a new Hydration pack since the last time I wore one the strap broke and I never replaced it. So does anyone have any suggestion for a good running one?

    Over 60Β°F run wow! Such nice weather out today but deep down I know my body needs to start getting used to warmer weather on the horizon. Glad that whatever I picked up yesterday seems better now as I was out of it and today I did feel good.

    It was such a nice day to head out for a long run. Pace for some of the miles were maybe a little fast for building but when you get to talking it happens. Then you get punished in the later miles with tired legs. 😡

    Well this was a very wet run this morning as it rained the entire time I was out there. I tried my best to avoid puddles but found myself on a muddy trail and stepped right into it.

    Shorter and quicker run today because I had to get into the office very early before a long day of meetings. Interesting sunrise this morning with a small slit before complete cloud cover.

    Decided to hit the streets of Portland and with no running plan. Along the way I stumbled upon this building and had to look it up later. The Hey Building (Charles Q. Clapp Block) which was built in 1862 by a local very prominent architect. I would love to take a glance inside as it is very narrow!

    Good morning from the East Coast! I am sure some of it just a change of scenery and helps that the run rises earlier here than home but I really do enjoy these morning runs watching the sunrise. πŸŒ…

    Had the day off today so why not get the run in early so I had the rest of the day free. Oh wait, there was Hockey games today. This particular route I always forget how many hills there are until I am too committed and have to keep pushing thought.

    Last time for my daughter to do piano for a while so I filled the time running and filling in my street map. Still cold πŸ₯Ά

    Bare branches frame a sunlit, partially frozen lake surrounded by dried reeds under a clear blue sky.

    What the weather happened here! This was snowy, windy, and cold on this run. Strange how a little more than 24 hrs goes by and my whole outlook changed.

    A winding pathway dusted with snow meanders through bare trees; the atmosphere is dusk-tinted and serene.

    Start of the week so I wanted to make sure to get some miles in. However, I quickly realized that my body was not ready for 58Β°F with lots of sun to run in again. This felt much worse than it should have.
