    Temp as I headed out the door just after 4am.
     Intended to only go 3 miles but since I was still cold and already out there, I added a mile.  :lol:
    I was slower than normal, though!

    7°F???

    No, it wasn't cold enough to hurt.  Just was cold.  ;)
    For sure took a long time to loosen up and I took shorter strides as a result.
    Hope you knocked out the workout!
    Yes. I dragged myself over to the gym a few hours ago. Now, I just have a bit of work left and I can chill for the rest of the night.

    Low mileage this week. Had the weekend drinking with mates in London, decided to not attempt to squeeze everything in and have bit of a rest after picking back up over the past month.

    It's ok to have a fun weekend out. In fact, I highly recommend it!!

    Wore a new pair of running shoes for the first time today. I didn't realize how done my old ones were until I ran in the new ones. Such a spring to my step. It was a great run. I added the new shoes to my running app so it can keep track of when I need new ones.

    Important to look after those feet! Can't beat a run in a fresh pair.

    Foreground is a hill.
    Background looks like a mountain!

    Rained today, hoping it doesn't snow tonight as it's going back down into the low 20s.  Want to run outside tomorrow.  Been over a week on this damn treadmill

    It's going well thank you. Getting into the real meat of it now with just 2 months to go. My friend has bit of a toe injury though so he is a little behind which is a shame. A little change of expectation and he will be fine.

    Yup! Definitely a mountain. These aren't big mountains but typical of what we have in the UK. Very rocky, lots of loose stone and boulders, always pretty technical and slippery. Where I live is as flat as can be. 4 hour drive to the nearest mountains, I wish I had more time to get to them a train

    How is everyone doing? Same old run on my end. I went out last night and did not feel like running, but managed to get 5 miles in.

    4 in cold windy morning, but was happy to do it.  Think I'll go up to 5 next week.  

    Good job going out and getting it in.

    Great job! It sounds like your recovery is going well. I am still running inside at the gym but will get back outside soon. They tore up the path at the East River where I had been running to build some type of flood prevention. Everyone in the area has been up in arms about it since the construction won’t be completed until 2026. I need to find a new outdoor route that take me off the sidewalks. The East River Park was perfect. I am not sure I have another option but to run on the sidewalks. Central Park is too far uptown for me.
