30 minutes of disciplined plodding (and occasionally walking) to stay inside HR zone 2, followed by 30 minutes of ignoring HR and #Running however I wanted.
Threatened to rain and had two or three teasing drops, but it instead stayed ruefully humid. Be gone, summer, and bring on fall and blessedly cooler running temperatures!
Not exactly “racing” the darkness, but perhaps more “pursued” by way of anguished plodding.
They’re doing construction on the school track I like to run on after dark, so now I have to be more intentional about when and where I run. 🏃♂️ 🌙

It's 25 degrees (F) higher than normal today, so I got in a run. I keep thinking that'll be it; it will get cold, and I'll be #running inside most of the time. But then this happens 😆

One last running photo for today -- I'll post a few more of my best tomorrow and hopefully a link to my Behance with more, counting down 25 1/2 hours to Caturday

Last night's run: a decent one, but my night vision is not what it used to be, so a little slower than I would like.
Looking like outdoor #running tomorrow and Friday too with great weather. Today was a treadmill day, though, partially because that's all I had time for.
We shall see how long I can go with outdoor running this winter.
I'm pretty sure this is Diane Makovic who was the fastest woman in the Ithaca 5 and 10 who finished in 18:08

Restarting #Running, take 37 🎬
Busyness and niggling knee pain derailed me from my last efforts. Then inertia set in and everything becomes harder.
But, here we start anew. One foot in front of the other.

Good Morning #ISWC2025! Best way to start a conference day with a morning run in the park!

TIL that there is an app for Garmin watches that will display your Parkrun barcode. Since I have forgotten my barcode at least a couple of times in the past (and I don't normally bring my phone on runs), this could come in handy.
Have yet to try it, but reviews are positive.

I just ran almost 10.5 miles without much planning or systematic preparation. Conditions were perfect, so I took advantage.
It was fantastic! I haven't enjoyed a run this much in quite some time.
I may regret it tomorrow, but I feel great now.

I'm still figuring out beta-blockers. And yes, they still suck when running. I don't think I'll be able to escape that.
I have been on the treads more lately; my tolerance for cold weather has been pretty bad. Getting older, post covid crud, who knows 🤷♂️
Grateful to be able to run and enjoy this weather today.

For the Ithaca 5 and 10 this Sunday I staked out E Fall Street near Ithaca Falls and where the Cinemapolis movie theater used to be

Great temps for #running (I run hot)! It was a bit windy; the gusts were pushing me down the hill and holding me back on the way up!
Happy with my pace improving; seems to correlate with my overall health slowly improving too.

Puttering around in zone 2 again. 🐢 🐢 🐢
Fitness building. Patience testing.

#running slow is hard but my fitness is such that it requires a rebuild of the foundation. Trying to stay in HR2 means a decent amount of walking interspersed. I don’t love it, but it’s necessary.
I have a much more open schedule now, so I should be able to get out and run regularly. The trick will be staying patient and trusting the process.
A little more heat than I prefer, but I'm loving this and the improved air quality. Wondering how long it will take the city to move those logs? 😏 There are no beavers in this park 🦫
Hoping to hit 5 or 6 days running this week, I'll see if I can make it happen.

If you go to a bigger running event you see a lot of people at the finish line who look really "run down" but at smaller events you get runners who are experienced and irrepressible even when it comes to heavy rain and steep hills

End of the week run on Friday, sub-9 pace—I'll take it.
I had some discouragement from my run earlier in the week. I ran after the flu shot, and it was a huge mistake (I had to walk, and some other things I'd rather not talk about). Alas, this was a great way to end the week!
#running
I set my watch to notify on zone 2 borders and “ran” 🙄 for an hour. Early on, it felt like I was constantly roofing it, but as I got deeper into it, everything seemed to settle. I’m going to try to stay with it, but I don’t know if I can intentionally go so slowly for weeks and weeks.
Saw my fox buddy on the drive home.

I'm walking down the hill and he's running up in the Danby State Forest -- reduced schedule today because I just came back from Friday Night Football

The leaves are ever so slowly starting to change color. Nice down-by-the-river run after work 😃 Vision was a little shaky, but I was able to do some exercises for that on the path, which is flat pavement, and that helped. Pace is slowly getting better.

I don't think I posted any running photos from the Thom B Trail Runs this May 17th in Hammond Hill State Forest; here's one of the faster runners -- this time I didn't get hypothermia or sunburn or anything

VO₂ max is back, and a better pace, thanks to medications I'm sure. Uppers and downers for #ADHD and #LongCovid 🫠
This is perfect #running weather though: sunny, cool, and a sane level…
Yesterday's outdoor run. Today will be inside on the treadmill. Cooler temps, and I'm loving that. This run was windy and rainy, though, but I'm a glutton for punishment; I have not run at all for a few days.
I know I deserve a break after the half marathon, and I did in fact do that.
Some excellent fall colors are still hangin' on 🙀

Slacking a bit this week, first run since last Friday. A bit humid, but manageable! Hopefully I'll get out the rest of the week and maybe throw in a weekend run.
