The sunshine had me optimistic about a long walk! My street is pretty clear, the rest of the neighborhood not so much. Saucony Peregrine trail shoes for the win! ☀️👟🩵

Chilly Saturday treadmill 4-miler, focused on heart rate. I’d always rather be running outside but it’s entirely too cold, snow or no snow. (no snow) I’m happy to be able to get a few miles in, and it wasn’t terrible 🥶👟🩵

The sunshine was lovely, so I thought I’d try my regular route… the first patch of ice was passable… the second, not so much. Headed back to the sidewalk for some safer miles ☀️👟🩵

the treadmill is never my first choice, but it was a great way to warm up, drink a bunch of water, watch a couple of podcasts, and calibrate my watch… so, this is manageable. I guess. 👟🥶

5 miles before noon! ☀️
Out bright and early for a demo run because, while I don’t enjoy cold early mornings, I am super curious! And the new Brooks Glycerin Flex did not disappoint!!
👟
Snow drops and a festive golfer along the way…
🥰
It was “warmer” than I’d expected, so I decided to drop my car off for an oil change and walk rather than wait. By the time I got home, it was ready to be picked up, so I walked back…
👟
Fun seeing all the new additions to the “rock snake” by my creative neighbors!
🎨🩵
Always grateful for sunshine, especially on chilly mornings ☀️👟🩵

this morning I looked at the forecast and decided I’d go run around 2:30… because I knew it would take till 3 to really go. 😉
just a couple of easy miles to make a point.

On my list for 2026… read more physical books and use my treadmill more. 📝
Enter dreary wintry mix Sunday… ✅ ✅
I’d also like to try some longer miles on these Altra FWD Flow 2s… so I’ll enjoy some indoor miles before I wreck them on the greenways 🙃
12 minutes, steady pace, felt pretty good. Getting myself mentally prepared for Cooper next month 😉
So today, I enjoyed a little treadmill run. I said it. And I don’t have anything to say about this weather 🙊

The warmest company, coffee and bagels, and some fun prizes! 🥳👟🩵

The sunshine was tempting, but it was SO cold this afternoon!
Rather than a proper running workout, I went for a walk to the lake, recorded a TikTok, then did a few hill repeats.
Still very cold, but I got some things done.
Found a gumball in my shoe, probably from Tuesday… I thought we’d solved this problem?! 🙃☀️👟🩵

My primary accomplishment, getting myself out the door. The sunshine was doing the most here.
☀️
Second feat, I did not trip on any of the 9 million gumballs in my path!
🙃
Zone 2 5k, and my HRV overnight as high as it’s been in ages. Slow and steady, back on track. Even thinking about getting back TO the track… I missed it this summer and feel a little cheated. 🤔☀️👟🩵

I was not planning on running today.
I walked 5k this morning and it was forecast to just get colder and windier all day.
But sitting on the porch with my coffee, this sunshine was too good to pass up.
☀️
I’ve been focusing on heart rate, ignoring pace, finding what feels good iykyk
Listening to an audio book helps
🎧
Always love how my VO2 max will improve after an easy run like this. No speed work, no hills, just easing back into a routine 🥳☀️👟🩵
