So, part of your miles were in supermarket aisles. It counts, also, rhymes lol Yeah hip/glute/core strengtheners and stretches aren't fun.
Thanks @AvidFan : ) I'm officially back to running.

 

[chiastic_slide]

Been able to convert my turmoil and being pissed off into an hour long walk for the last three days. Feels very good. Also fun trying to not break my legs on the many icy patches. Feels like a whole sport.

 

[AvidFan]

1 mile run to drop something off, then a 3.5 mile fartlek (speed play) run home, mixing up pace and heart rates - surge, let heart rate and pace drop, surge again. Switching through different gears, heart appears to be working lol.

Did shoulder PT and a short jaunt outside early this morning, then a 5k this afternoon. The raindrops were telling me to hurry but it wasn't enough to drench me, just a very light shower.

 

[AvidFan]

Did a 4 mile easy run through the muddy woods in the spring-like sunshine.

 

[chiastic_slide]

Short walk today. Lot of black ice. So had to cut it short.

 

[seabird]

Did the PT work and my core. One of those days when it feels bleh. Hopefully I'll get out for a run later today. In looking for inspiration I found way too many quotes, but this one felt appropriate. Forward is a pace.

 

[seabird]

I succeeded in getting out the door for a slow but steady 5k run.

 

[chiastic_slide]

An hour walk. The ice had melted away for the most part, so I could finally get back to my usual speed. Very tired legs, feels very good.

Self regulation. I stopped the negative thoughts, then stopped them again, and again. I got out the door. Used the normal route I'm used to so I didn't have to think, just ran and ran with my thoughts off. All my physical energy was going to my lungs and my legs, all my other energy to someone who is in a lot of pain right now. A gnat flew into my eye, which kind of woke me up and made me pay more attention to vehicles. Sorry gnat, but thank you for getting my attention.

Anyway, a run of about 4 miles this afternoon. Took some time at the end to walk and cool off.

Well done @seabird. I've had a few flies in my eyes over the years! 🪰🪰🪰

 

[AvidFan]

Nice, steady and slow 10k trail run. No flies today, just a few dogs and a lot of mud.

 

[seabird]

Shoulder PT and core work, then a little 2 mile walk.

10k+ steps last Wednesday - Walked to the city centre (The Hague, Netherlands) with my mom starting from my front door - was good ~
Weather was good too! Other than that exercising basically every day now, I have no other goals going on in life currently because of mental & physical health reasons.

Today biceps, chest, abs, shoulders and back - just with dumbbells of 2 x 5 kg - Decided to lower it, so I can do so many more reps!
Almost feels like cardio, can almost keep going forever.

 

[seabird]

This week I outside for walks and runs almost every day, just short ones, and usually in the dusk just as it's getting dark. I manaaged to get out the door for a slow run of 4 miles today during daylight. In an effort to regulate anxiety - a bit of exposure therapy.

 

[AvidFan]

4 mile run today, hit 9 minute mile pace half way through but then ran out of steam. Don't have quite the pace or endurance I built up last year, just yet.

 

[AvidFan]

3.5 Mile run. Took first 2 miles easy, with hill, then pushed a bit more for 1.5 miles, maintaining average 10 minute mile pace, which felt like a good bit of cardio without maxing heart rate.

 

[seabird]

I've been doing a few core exercises in the mornings, then some walking. I purposely leave off wearing my watch for this stuff. When it gets dark and cooler I hope to get out for a few miles of jogging.

 

[seabird]

Core work, plus 2 sets of squats. This morning I managed 2.5 k of jogging. For some reason I feel better after slow running than I feel after walking.

Bouncing around the building at work today. I had to cover the day shift with my boss covering 2nd shift.
