Ok, first of all I don’t live in Cali or wherever this picture is from. As a new blog writer I don’t have access to many pictures or archives like some of the pros out there. Get over it already!
I haven’t been having the best running sessions of late. The weather here has been brutal with ice, snow, and storms. This mixed with Christmas parties, my running has taken a knock and I only got out twice this week. Both were relatively short 7ks and the pace wasn’t great either. Thankfully injury free though, so I have accepted my “maintain” stance of late, and just get through this period with no injuries, no major loading to the belly, and semi regular 7- 8ks.
Maybe everyone is in the same boat?
Tomorrow I plan on doing another 7k, followed hopefully on Wednesday by an 8k. My family is visiting this weekend so my Saturday long-run may just have to wait until Sunday. If I can keep this up over the next few weeks I will be delighted.
The weather can create step-backs of course. You cant run in a storm, and I personally don’t like running when its remotely icy (not worth the risk).
Over Christmas I do have some time off work however. I plan on buying some trail shoes and get out there with my dog. Christmas eve, My wife and I also have a run planned, but I hope to get in at least 7k the evening before.
This leaves St. Stephens day where I hope to burn off some of the Christmas excess. Another run on the 28th before my in-laws arrive for a few days will hopefully see me get through the period running my best.
Sorry for the boring posts of late. I have some additional plans for next year, so stay tuned!
