April 24th I went into the office today to grab more work for myself. No one was there and that used to upset me working all alone frequently, but now I am happy to leave the house and focus in solitude. No pets or partner to distract me. Very peaceful morning. My run this evening …
Recovery-Not So Smooth
April 23rd Interesting run today. Just a recovery run, with my dog. Nice slow pace, lovely views, and then… Oh. My stomach felt bit upset... I’ve never experienced that before. My other friends have discussed their experience and it’s never crossed my mind as being a concern as we’re usually out in the trails. Always …
Sunshine On My Rainy Day
April 22nd I couldn’t be happier. That course I didn’t get a qualified grade for, or so I thought? I got it. I freaking got it. My run was pretty great too. I opened my personal email before logging on to start work this morning and my jaw dropped. An email from my teacher stating …
School’s Out For-Distancing?
April 21st My term has ended! Last final written. I actually did very well overall on the final and am happy with my mark. I passed the class but unfortunately I don't meet the required grade for the program I wish to do after I graduate so I may have to retake the class pending …
First Run I Missed In My Plan
April 20th Oops. I just couldn't muster the energy today. My was tired, I worked, I have a final tomorrow. I just relaxed. It was only supposed to be a recovery run, so I believe cookies and cream ice cream totally counts here. It isn't the worst thing in the world, I have tomorrow an …
Restless In The Country
April 19th What a long slog. I hoped I would be rested from swapping my rest day and long run day but not quite. I did go explore the trail I found, though it appeared to be an access point for maintenance of some kind. Further down was a dumping ground and garbage here and …
Video Connection Unstable
April 18th I had a physically relaxing day today. Cancelled all running and strengthening and moving it to tomorrow. My body is tired and a bit sore from not prioritizing stretching, rolling out, and yoga. I’ve been grinding away with school trying to finish up my last few finals and tasks for classes. I am …
Finding Balance While Distancing
April 17th This evening was a nice cool run with my dog, whom I think died after! She plopped herself down near me while I did some exercises and didn't move at all. She normally tries to lick my face or spoon me while I am on the ground doing my exercises. A seventy-five pound …
Trails, Memories, and Daydreaming Of What Lies Ahead
April 16th I found a trail. I repeat, I found a trail head. I have no idea how long this trail is, where it goes, what's it's like or even the name. I don't care-I'm exploring it ASAP. The entrance is only about 2 km away from my home base so very accessable. There's a …

A Bit More About Me
April 15th A very nice slow (actually slow) run with my dog was very rewarding today. Oddly rewarding as usually I can't maintain my pace and end up racing away on myself. I set a goal to stay under certain pace and I did for almost the whole thing. I haven't been taking my phone …
