I got my sideways sleet run in before work. Before it got *really* gross.

Sprint intervals into sideways sleet this morning. What’s that on the Beaufort scale? Love these late season winter storms. #running #runsky #runningpunks

It was dark and warm enough for shorts and tshirt. Good, sweaty threshold session. By the end of the week I’ll be back in double or triple layers. Gotta love Spring. #running #runsky #runningpunks

Sunny day. Long run. Lots of dogs and hoomans were out and about. I had completely forgotten about today’s time change, which was fun. Tried a new route that I like to switch it up for longer runs.

Have a great week!

She is the best model I can point to for how to manage huge sums and do the utmost good with it.

I thought they did a reasonably good job of it.

The route. A regular one. Today’s playlist

Today was a signal to my Garmin coach to STFU. After yesterday’s aborted long run due to constant nagging on high HR, I shifted back to pace monitoring. Today dawned cold, bright and icy. And I ran my course the way I wanted. Have an epic week, folks. #runsky #running #runningpunks #greatplaylist

A shorter long run today. Which was ok since we’ve been dragged back into winter. It was a ‘cold’ 30F compared to the ‘warm’ 30F earlier this week. Saw a few other runners since I slept in for an extra hour. Gave a nice fist bump 👊🏻 to a passing one. #running #runsky #runningpunks

Beans. Definitely beans. Unless the situation calls for ‘coolio’.

It’s been a minute since I had a Monster Manual to reference. What is a gnoll?

What do you think I did after the run?? I give myself permission to be a slug for the rest of the day.

You mountain runners are the goat. Pun intended. Love seeing the lovely territory you get to explore.

First false Spring weekend. Looking forward to a warm week (30-50F 0-15C) ahead, before the next storm pattern is set up for mud season. Long run out and around a local lake. Still frozen. Frozen puddles got slick and squishy as the morning got on. #running #runsky #runningpunks

It hasn’t been this cold for this long in mid-MI since 2013-14. I think we’re in the last days of the icy grip. Good weekend of speed and base training. But no long runs. Here’s to shedding a few layers! #running #runsky #runningpunks

It freezes well, so you can save some for the warmer months, if you like.
