9th run of the year done ✅
1 more to go 😂 I Ran close to home cuz weatherman called for rain and I didn’t want to get caught in it. Turns out, the rain never came, but did manage to map out that 2 blocks worth of condos is about 400m... so if I ever grow up and want to do speed work close to home, I can... but that’s just crazy talk right now.
“Consistency” - a word you’ll likely hear from experienced runners and coaches. It’s important in any training plan, running or otherwise. Which could explain why my run today sucked a$$. I’m inconsistent af. Right out of the gate my throat and chest started burning and by the 2km mark, my legs were heavy and sluggish. I had to really fight to get 6km in today, And at times, I felt my run gait mimicked a drunk penguin waddling about, but I eventually got there. But omfg it was awful.
I missed a photo op of a cute squirrel drinking water at a puddle... so instead, swipe left ⬅️ to see my version of super nachos and my doggo with what looks like corona virus 🦠 and her other favourite toy.
I may just make this account to include food and my dog, as well as fitness and physical rehab 😂

6th run of the year in the bag. First time in a long time I was able to muster the energy to get out 2 days in a row. I was tired on this run.
I saw this hill on my run... and immediately turned around and ran back to flat ground. A lot of runners talk about crushing hills... not this guy, cuz running hills sucks. I’m not training for anything, so why?

Well that one hurt 😖Haven’t run in a little over than 9 months, so it’s to be expected. Took it nice and easy on this run, reintroducing the grind to my legs. Getting my game on too... just for the most part. Maybe I’ll do this again... in another 9 mos... or tomorrow... probably the next day if I’m being honest with myself 💁🏽‍♂️
