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 …
Listening To My Body
April 14th Today was one of those day. I got virtually nothing done on my to-do list and did 30 minutes of cardio instead of the prescribed 50 minutes. I was frustrated by my lack of weights for my strength training so I bailed and moved it to tomorrow. I spent too much time on …
Feeling Good, Feeling Fine
April 13th Success! My legs feel back to normal and I was running a good pace today. I was beyond happy and I noticed my hamstrings and hip flexors are feeling really great a loose! It felt good to run and while I was tired near the end, I definitely could have gone longer. A …
Long Run In The Sun
April 12th Beautiful weather for a run! I am starting think I need to get sunscreen if I'm going to run midday again. I slept in and didn't make it out for a morning run and couldn't bring my dog due to her struggle with the heat and boy did I regret that. I can't …
Sometimes, You Just Need The Rest
April 11th I ended up swapping my long run day for a rest day. With school still on the go and a group project hanging over my head (dysfunctional group project) meant dropping all plans and sitting around, waiting for my group to do their part so I could start mine. Happy to report it's …
Easy And Breezy
April 10th Easy, intentionally slow run today. Windy to keep me cool. A recovery run before my longer haul tomorrow. I am supposed to go for 8-13 km, but where? My friend read something from an experienced runner saying while we are contained as we are, practice running slow. You think that would be easy …
Sore, Struggled, But Finished
April 9th That was tough. Sore legs from a couple days ago equaled what felt like I was running through mud. I struggled up a hill and got a nasty stitch in my abdomen that took a while to breathe through. Painful enough to make my eyes water. Ripley usually matched my pace but today …
Thankful For A Rest Day
April 8th I know I would be sore from yesterday and gosh was I right. I've been spending way too much time sitting and hustling with school, I haven't been doing much moving at all! Now with the Covid-19 social distancing I am sitting a lot more than I normally do. I'm very excited when …
