5 miles with 2 tempo miles thrown in. Hills made the tempo miles a little more difficult, but ultimately I felt great on this run. And Coros says my fitness went up, and I’m not about to argue with my watch.

Time to start committing more to my running. Spring Half and Full have been registered for and just put myself in the lottery for Chicago Marathon 2026 #running #runsky #marathon #marathontraining

That wasn’t the easiest run, but I got it done. The wind was brutal, which didn’t make it any easier, and I was also running with a small pack to get things home from the office.

That’s what I’m planning to listen to on my run this afternoon!

The levels aren’t as high as the report would have you believe and are being measured against Prop 65 guidelines, which are much lower than the amounts that would pose health issues. There’s equal amounts of lead you’d find in vegetables from the grocery store

2 miles downhill and 2 miles right back up. Cold morning, but a good run. Still trying to get into a regular rhythm with my run schedule, but we’ll get there.

I skipped the mile cooldown because I felt like the walk back up the hill to my house was cooldown enough

5x1km threshold repeats. First real bit of speed work I’ve done in a while and it kicked my butt. Actually found a mostly flat loop though, so that helped.

Off week last week, but I’m getting back on track. 3 miles with strides. Had to bundle up for the cold for the first time since the spring. Love the new hat.

3 miles with strides. Starting an 8 week training plan from Coros to focus on improving my threshold pace. From there I’ll start working on building weekly mileage as I start training for my spring marathon.

3.5 miles in the heat with hills and a stroller is basically 4 right?

4 miles this morning. The 3rd mile was basically one long uphill climb, but I’m feeling good so far after. Getting into a routine and rhythm, excited to start training towards a goal once again!

Was able to get away to the gym this afternoon for an easy 5 mile run on the treadmill (not the best weather outside today). Felt great and what I think I needed to get some mojo back.

Back at it. Even a short route couldn’t avoid the hills. Felt good to be back out there though. 3 miles done.

Haven’t run in a couple weeks with the move and starting a new job. Was getting too much in my own head about getting started back up and trying to just jump all in. Took a step back today and realized to just keep it simple. 3 easy miles tomorrow morning

Yeah, no issues finding a spot for hill repeats. Perfect candidate right before the house

A brutally hilly 5k to start the day. Beautiful views though with the sun coming up. Gonna have to find some flatter routes moving forward, but I do live at the top of a hill, so flat is pretty relative

5 miles in the post-rain humidity this morning. Took it a little slower and felt great. Probably one of my last runs in this town.

5 mile tempo run with 3 miles attempting to hit 8 min/mile pace. Didn’t quite get there and it was a hard effort. The sun really got to me in the back half. First 3 run week in a while though!

Did 3 miles on a treadmill today. Heart rate seemed high given the effort, but I’ll just chalk that up to a decline in fitness over the past few weeks from irregular running. Hoping to be able to get into a routine now that I’m heading back to work tomorrow and build fitness back up #running #runsky

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 I’m really liking them

Ran 4 miles to get to the park that’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.
