I run because I can.
you can only really appreciate it when you lose the ability.
don´t lose.
Run before you can´t.

Lovely #dailyrun this morning (with much less smoke today) along the #rideaucanal and #ottawariver #ottawa #run #ottrun #running
Bebe’s Pride 5K training continues! They’re killing it! Baltimore Pride 5K is next Sunday!!!!
Struggled this morning. Not particularly enjoyable. First half trail, second half road. Last mile was jog/walk/rest.
Oh well. Onto the next one!
Did some zig-zag running this morning, or what they call intervals. It wasn't exactly flat, though on the photo it is hard to see if the road goes up or down or is flat...
Machte einen zick-zack Lauf heute Morgen, was man wohl Interval Training nennt. Es war nicht eben, auch wenn auf dem Bild nicht wirklich zu erkennen ist, ob der Weg hoch oder runter geht...
No video yet from the #Harvel5 yesterday, but I found a good one from 2018. So this was the #running event I did yesterday. Tried to edit the video down to post instead of a link, but could basically only get the start in, which is arguably a bit boring. But if anyone's interested, here you go. Drone footage of a very picturesque English country #run between hedgerows and through a local village and forest, starting and ending at a village green with stalls. Lots of brightly coloured #runners. Lovely day out. Although I'm in pain today.
This may sound weird…but I am a fully signed up member of the weirdo club, so it’s unsurprising!
When you can’t go for an actual run, does anyone else go for a non-physical ‘mind run’ to try and clear their head? I have a really hard time switching my brain off - I wish I had a standby mode which just shut me down to basic life support for a few hours!
For example, if I’m struggling to get to sleep because my brain is churning, I imagine I’m out for a run on a route I know well and I think about every part of it, even to the point of slowing down on the uphill bits. It really helps me to get to sleep!
Incredible Zone 2 rainy #TrailRun through Stony Run this morning!
“I’m only happy when it raaaaains!” - had the trail almost completely to myself. Got drenched - RAWR!!!
Lake lap 7k
Then out to waterskiing
A liquidy day

First week of taper, five days no running. There was a rest day and a x-training day, but now I'm climbing the walls. Not digging the smoke. I am going to have to rethink summer races and training.
How are you all coping?
New Shoe Day! But tired, so took the more direct route to work on my run.

That time of year when you have to plan your training around the air quality.

Set to #Ottawa but you can adjust to your own city in #Canada
Yeah, baby. A little better than yesterday but my body is still getting used to the heat! Feels like 97F/34C.
Gorgeous morning for a run to work! Felt real good today. Rawr!
3,2km morning #run with the pup. It was a walk/run interval which seems to be more comfortable for him to get into his groove. He did great today #peloton
