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 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.

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…
Happy runner at the Thom B Trail Race at Hammond Hill State Forest

#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.
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

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 🙀

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

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!
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.

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

I'm pretty sure this is Diane Makovic who was the fastest woman in the Ithaca 5 and 10 who finished in 18:08

Rain came and went, and what I thought was no humidity was really just camouflaged by a breeze. I found plenty of places where there was no breeze! 🥵
Still, that’s three runs and therefore a trend. I’ll happily take it.

More reasonable distance today, better weather, meh AQI. Hoping to get in a few more runs in this week. Dropping some medications, so far it has helped a bit in some areas of #longfcovid recovery.

It was almost the witching hour, so most people in this beach community are home and in bed. I was out #running and came across two big packs of teenagers, both of whom had someone with the stones to give me the “good evening, sir” treatment. Full on Eddie Haskell delivery. 😂
They are, of course, way too young to know about Eddie Haskell. What is their generational equivalent?
Anyway, t…

Last month, I somehow tweaked my knee, resulting in a lasting, radiating pain in my upper tibia, (perhaps the tibialis anterior muscle?) I don’t know what, but while I could tell it was healing, it sure took a long time to fully get there.
I’ve finally been pain-free for about a week and so I’m cautiously optimistic about #Running regularly again.🤞🙏☘️
Felt OK, but labored if I’m honest.…

Okay, I'm a knucklehead; it was too hot to run outside yesterday, but I did 🥴 Didn't get sick afterward, but I felt like garbage for a good hour.

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.

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.
#running #runnersofmastodon
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
#running #photo
Better air quality today, so I went outside. The lack of haze in the air and no visible drug use in the park sure was nifty 🙂
Under a 9-minute mile. A bit of fatigue lately, chronic pain, and some mild insomnia popping up. That said, it is good to be alive and also be able to run.

Giving those lungs a rest with the Canadian wildfire smoke, so treadmill today. No exciting pics (okay fine, a Mounty truck and a wildfire in the background pic from Canada were added), nice and boring, as a treadmill is 😄 Watched Mr. Robot, and then good tunes for the weights.
I think I may stick inside until Thursday; we'll see how tomorrow goes with AQI.

Thanks #Canada for the superb #running weather /sarcasm. The AQI at 171, but the temperature and humidity were good. A little trouble with breathing, but I didn't need the inhaler.
Saint Paul is getting no love lately; the city was also hit by a cyberattack late last week as well. …

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!

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.
