For the first time in a while Moskey and I went for a run. Life has been overwhelming lately. I haven't had it in me to do anything other than walk 3 or 4 times a week.
The squeaky snow and 15°F and sunny weather called to me this afternoon. I didn't have to run, but I wanted to.

So glad I decided to take an extra day off today before traveling for Thanksgiving. Getting a few things taken care of but also, finding some time to rest before what will be a good, but long, weekend.

My general hiatus from Social Media has been extremely good for me. Trying to get back into posting without getting too sucked in is hard though.
Here's a picture of Moskey from our walk the other day. Orange is a must have for safety first during hunting season!

I realized I never posted after The Back 9. I ran 8 laps for 29.44 miles total!! It was definitely challenging, that little bit of uphill climb adds up after the 3rd or 4th lap 😆. Super proud of myself for trying something new and breaking my distance PR!!

20 days until the Back Nine Endurance Run and I'm still not running but I felt significantly better today! So, Moskey and I did an easy 1 mile hike and checked out a park one town over that we've never been to before!

23 days out from my 12hr race & I have a chest cold that has benched me. Ultra running friends, tips or suggestions on how to get thru what was supposed to be peak week when I can't walk a mile without getting winded?
Moskey on our rainy walk for attention.

I came to your page because I saw your recent post and thought your dog looked a little like mine if he got into some white paint.
Then I saw this and couldn't help but think of this picture:

I've been doing 1 interval run & run/walking 3-4 days strictly in zone 2 each week. 7 years of running at a range of paces & body sizes, Garmin has never been so kind & for the 1st time ever I ran a full mile in Z2.
63 days until the Back 9 Endurance run. #UltraRunning #UltraSky #Running #Garmin

The twinge in my knee was threatening to get worse. After a full rest day and a few doses of ibuprofen it's feeling better.
Made the decision to take a short break from running and get reacquainted with the bike gathering dust in my basement.

Yesterday was a slow zone 2 run. Which, for me means quite a bit of walking. It's tough but my knee is a little twingie from the added stress from running on the snow. So slowing it down.
Hoping for a good amount of melting over the next several days.

It's really hard to stay focused right now, but in 100 days I will be 1.75 hours from finishing my first first 12 hour race.
Trying to apply my running strategies to everything else in my life, just keep going, one more step until you can't anymore.

After just over 11 years living in the Michigan UP, I think I've adapted well. 2°F this morning pumping gas in shorts while still sweating from the gym.

105 days to go! A slow 8.66mi in the snow and cold. Tobin got in on the action going with me for a 15 min walk at the end.
I think I'm going to like ultra running. Snack breaks in the middle of a long run is kind of the best.

Lake Superior is by far the greatest Great Lake. Glad to be able to get a nice run in while we were here. Makes me a little sad I didn't start running until I moved away.

116 days until the Back 9 Endurance Run and 48 easy minutes running with Moskey today. He's such a great running buddy. 🥰
Also, only about another month of not finishing our runs until after sunset!

I did my first strength workout in a very long time. I'm not sure if this is cute or horrifying to think about what it would mean to lift a baby hippo 2-16lbs at a time 😂

It was a productive week on the endurance training front! 4 desk walks and 3 outdoor runs for a total of 7h38 walking and running!
Next week's goal... actually do some strength and mobility 😅

121 days until my endurance race so we were out for another cold 45 minute run today. At least it was double digits! Also, glad it is starting to stay lighter a little while longer.

I often joke that I'm the sweatiest kid I know. It was -3°F when we started our outdoor run and somehow I was sweating after like 10 minutes. If I wore any less clothing I would have still been sweating but also been cold 🥵🥶
