I haven’t really been posting. Before I was bit ‘behind’ but this time I stopped for quite some time. I have been running and going for dog walks still, but I needed some time to think about what I am going to do this summer. All races I am aware of have been cancelled and …
Grounded Reflection
April 30th If you take a look at my posting history, you’ll see I didn’t post anything for five days and then, finally, posted my account of the past week in one day. My goal was to post daily throughout the duration of my training as I am doing things daily to help me reach …
Community Is Everything
April 29th Crazy day for me on April 27th! First busy day where I was ‘running around’ in a long time. I’m starting to go back to work in the office as there are so few of there and all don’t go out much as is. I’m sure we’ll be safe if we practice good …
Scheduling Rest Days
April 26th I took a complete rest day on April 25th and gave myself the permission to do whatever I wanted with no to-do list. It was quite relaxing (go figure) and I will definitely be scheduling more of these days. Maybe as half days, I still struggle to do ‘nothing’. Long run day of …
Pyramid Training – Not The Illegal Kind
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 …
