#running
Scenes from the trails and races where I spend a lot of my free time. I’m perpetually in some kind of training mode. Races. Fitness. Distance. Streaks. Or just good old fashioned peer pressure. This site is nothing of not stuffed full of running posts and pics.

Parking Lot
8r4dsfeets I don’t always wear spikes when #running but when I do …it’s freakin icy is why!

8r4d Slick tails on an icy January #running adventure. We had our spikes but it was almost too much for even that.

8r4d Technically not my first run of the year but definitely the first time i’ve been #running outside in 2026. Between the deep cold and the icy sidewalks we’ve stuck to the track for the last couple weeks. But 9k on the snowy paths was a great and welcome change of pace.

8r4d Oh so did I mention that #winter #running season was waiting for me when I got back to Canada. It wasn’t my first time out but Sunday’s run was -16C plus a chill, so we logged… trudged… six klicks thru the snow and called it a cold success.

Frozen Paths
8r4d Now that the snow has arrived and the cold winds are whipping through the streets, our Sunday #running adventure was a little chillier than we’ve been acclimated. We logged a simple eight klick run plotted to keep the wind at bay and avoid the too icy trails. Post-run coffee tho was definitely a warm up.

Fall Classic
8r4d Our Sunday #running adventures culminated at another race. I haven’t raced in well over a year so the ole start line anxiety kicked in pretty hard. It was raining and cold but not quite freezing, so sixteen klicks was tougher than it should have been, but I got it done in the end.
Sunday the 26th of October, 2025, deep afternoon.
