5 mile morning run and it was already in the 70s. Warm, but good run. Tried out an ice bandana to help beat the heat a little bit and it worked pretty well. First run in the aero burst without pushing a stroller and Iโ€™m really liking them

Ran 4 miles to get to the park thatโ€™s less than a half mile from my house and get the toddler some extra outside time. Took things pretty easy, a little warm but felt good to get a run in.

5k loop with some hills and a stride tacked on to the end. Very warm out there, but trying out some methods to keep cool. Felt good to get a quick run in without the stroller this time.

Warm 10k with the stroller. Would love to be able to get more than one run a week in but Iโ€™ll take what I can get. Iโ€™ll fall into a routine soon enough. Forgot the post run selfie today

I have only been able to run in them while pushing a stroller, so I donโ€™t have a full report yet. The two runs I have done have been nice and cushioned. They are pretty weighty, but I havenโ€™t noticed that too much. Planning just to use them for recovery runs

Iโ€™ve also been toying with this, but Iโ€™m currently on newborn sleep schedule, so itโ€™s been hard to find the motivation to actually start. Not looking forward to the withdrawal headache either

Easy 5 miles this morning with the stroller. Some cloud cover and slightly cooler temps made this one a lot easier than earlier in the week. Thankful to have this time with my son.

Tested out the new shoes on a warm run pushing my toddler in a stroller. Not my best run looking at the stats, but the purpose was just to get out and get moving. The new shoes are bouncy and comfy and I canโ€™t wait to break them in more!

Thinking of cutting back on my caffeine intake, but I really love the ritual of making a cup of coffee in the morning. Need to start sourcing some good decaf beans. Also may want to wait until after the newborn stage of waking up every 2-3 hours is over ๐Ÿคท๐Ÿป

New shoes!! Excited to get a run in when the weather cools down and I have enough energy to get out there and do it

Probably not going to be doing as many running posts as usual in the next few weeks as my wife and I begin to navigate life with a newborn and a toddler. Who knows, maybe Iโ€™ll start to branch out a little more.

My first marathon, the first 10 miles were downhill in a mountain canyon as the sun was rising. Easily the most beautiful scenery Iโ€™ve had on a run

Got a later start to the day so did 7 miles on the treadmill at the gym. Been watching Dimension 20 on my treadmill runs and that has helped the time go by so much easier.

I had read the books first. Season 1 was actually really good, but they really started going off the rails after that

I legitimately think that the show could have been good if theyโ€™d actually followed the source material instead of just making up their own lore and story

Warm 7 miles this morning. Glad I held off until today because it was about 10ยฐ warmer yesterday at this time. A little sore from Tuesdayโ€™s gym session, but overall a good run!

First day of parental leave (a week before babyโ€™s due), and I took the afternoon to head to the gym to get a run in and some strength training. Had some anxious energy I needed to work through and it really helped to focus that into something productive. Big changes are coming #running #runsky

Trying to figure out where running fits into my life right now. No fall race planned, some uncertainty about what the next couple months will look like, and an upcoming addition to our family, have made it difficult to prioritize getting up at 5am to run #runsky #running

6 miles this morning and again pretty warm. Took it a little easier and felt a lot better than Wednesdayโ€™s run. Still struggling with some motivation to get out there and do the thing

Yeah, I definitely think that was part of it. Had some gut issues too and just generally felt off. Planning to make some adjustments pre-run to help with some of that

Frustrating run this morning, but I guess they canโ€™t all be great. 6 miles in the books on a very warm morning.

8 miles this morning alternating in some marathon pace miles (marathon effort, not really training for a race right now). Feeling really good in my running right now. Kinda fun to just run without a specific goal in mind

Thursday morning vibes. Easy 6 miles with a big hill halfway through. Weird watch glitch towards the end split my run in 2, so I ended up going a little over
