8r4d A seventh day in a row of #running let me out in the #rain even tho I held off a few hours hoping against the forecast that it might have let up a bit. Actually it may have gotten a bit worse.

Tuesday the 7th of May, 2024, in the late afternoon.

8r4d My plan failed. That’s to say, my #running plan for today on this my sixth day in a row of May run streak, was to ease off the gas and do a nice moderately paced recovery run. Best laid plans? I set off to run some of the neighborhood gauntlet and feeling good my pace just built and built until I was going a really solid clip. On the second pic (the orange trend line is one I drew over the screenshot) you can see the increase in my pace over the 30 minute run. Again: best laid plans.

Monday the 6th of May, 2024, deep after noon.

Sunday Long Slow Run

❮ ❯

8r4d Our regular Sunday #running adventure took us on some familiar but rarely run routes this morning. I hit 18k on the nose for the day and the total for my first five days of May, five for five, was a little over a marathon and a few steps short of 43km (shorting myself at a calculated 42.99k on the week!) A nice big hill at the end bogged down my time tho. And we did kinda stop once to assure ourselves that these dumb geese crossing the busy road made it safely.

Sunday the 5th of May, 2024, around lunch-ish.

8r4d Just a family #walk on a quiet #spring evening. What better way to spend an hour after a long day of runs and yard work.

Park Run #5

8r4d May the course be with you on this May the fourth, so my fourth #running excursion of the month was a visit to #parkrun in the #rivervalley where I slammed a 5k with about 60 others in the #spring sunshine.

8r4d Another week another spring dance competition. Sure, I could be in the theatre watching all the other kids dance, but as i’m only really hanging around to see mine. Since she needs to be at the theatre an hour early (and I’m nothing if not punctual) I had some time to explore the downtown park river walk area and do some sketching. All that said there is neither dancing nor sketching in this post.

Friday the 3rd of May, 2024, for elevensies.

8r4d The 5 Peaks trail #running season is just about to take flight for another year and with it came the regular pre-race orientation run. We may not be doing the race on mother’s day but we did participate in tonight’s more casual event. I’m a little out of practice for the rolling #trails tho it would seem.

Thursday the 2nd of May, 2024, in the evening.

8r4d Some people are simply inspired to craft cool things. This rock caught my attention on a local #rocksnake and I stopped to capture it. Artist unknown…

8r4d I’m planning on doing some strong #running in May. For the first day of the month I joined the local #runclub at the running room, but to be fair like 8 of the 10 people there were just our usually group/gang #runcrew
