8r4d The first #running adventure of #autumn was probably my last #runclub of the year. We found some colourful trails and a #sunset to match.

8r4d Our Sunday morning #running for the last day of #summer felt very much like an #autumn run through the orange hued trails. We’ve been ramping up our distances as we’ve been training for fall races, so this morning was 12k of rolling creek and suburban paths in the chilly morning air.

8r4d #runclub #running and we toured the suburban streets and legged it up some respectable if modest hills as we weaved through the late summer asphalt glow

8r4d #terryfoxrun 2025 in #reddeer was day sixteen of my #running streak, and maybe the last day of my streak too. No better way to finish off a fitness foundation building effort than on the trail of an #ohcanada #cancer hero. [read more...]

8r4d #running everyday for exactly two weeks is exhausting. It’s not so much the distance, but the lack of proper rest and recovery between runs means that some days it feels like you haven’t stopped for much more than a nap, and to your body not leaving enough time between runs is as good as not resting at all. So it kinda starts to be like running one really long run broken into segments, rather than multiple runs.

Good news tho, my new #headphones arrived in the mail yesterday and I got to try them out on run number fourteen of my streak. They are bone conduction headphones so they don’t block the ole ear holes and are supposed to be safer for situational awareness like traffic and heavy machinery.

8r4d Lucky #running streak day thirteen and we logged nearly seven klicks in the lingering heat of the trails thru Mill Creek.

8r4d Day twelve of #running streaks took me down into the river valley. I cheated a bit and parked near the trail head so I could spend more time in the trails and less on the hot asphalt road in between. [read more...]
