very short and light, i'm gonna be sore tomorrow. shins were feeling the jump rope. i wish the ceiling in the building's gym were a little higher, it's hard to do double unders.

- run 43:50, 8.35 km
slower than yesterday despite much flatter course. work is kicking my ass right now, i'm tired.

27 february

- run 1:05:17, 11.52 km
bit slow cause i went with a woman i've been dating. she's pretty fit: this was a hilly route and we averaged 5:47/km (i kicked a little after she dropped off at her building). i'd wager that's faster and farther than the vast majority of women runners.

- stretch

last night

- run 32:16, 6.2 km
trying not to let the perfect be the enemy of the good. i'm very goal-oriented so it's hard to keep motivation once i feel like i'm falling away from the level i should be training at to reach my goal. but that's a trap that leads to "well, fuck it then." it's better to do a little bit than none at all, and when i'm in a place again where i can push toward the goal i won't be as out of shape. plus exercise makes me feel good.

- stretch

tonight

- run 39:57, 8.01 km
the best run in months. felt incredible. perfect conditions. this route is an out and back that's basically up and then down. biggest elevation gain of any route i do around here. just under 5:00 pace and i was cruising.

overcommitted at the moment. two volunteering things, work has been very busy, trying to find time to keep improving at guitar, see friends, go on dates, etc. etc. etc. etc. need to rebalance.

- run 53:14, 10.08 km
beautiful day, probably 40 degrees and sunny. wore a hoodie but didn't need it. i'm out of shape.

- stretch

skiing weekend was a big success. it was a little warm on saturday (35/2 degrees) but still fun and then it snowed all saturday night and sunday morning and the temp dropped to like 20/-7, which meant fresh powder. and it was super bowl sunday, so the mountain emptied out. we were able to just ski right back onto the main lift after each run.

and no soreness! i did lose a bunch of hair on the front of my shins, though, lol.

- run 44:48, 8.94 km
flatter route with a lot more intersections. annoying.

- stretch

- run 40:54, 8.05 km
nice, up a road i don't usually run on and the change of scenery was good. also a big out-and-back climb, elevation gain was 126 feet per mile which is more than even my usual hilly routes. good to know.
