Covid recovery continues. Pushed it a little bit with a tempo run today, but felt mostly OK. Weight training has been easier of the body so far, but hoping the warmer weather keeps enticing me out for my runs.

First post-Covid run. I’ve basically been on the couch since the 12th, so it felt like a big deal to get out and run today. It didn’t feel great, and I’m sure there’s still a road ahead, but I’m happy I was able to do it.

A snowy street corner features a row of tall, snow-covered evergreen trees surrounding a white house. Sparse, leafless trees are visible in the background, and the road is wet and muddy. Overcast skies add to the winter atmosphere.

Quick shovel-out this morning followed by 40 minute progression run. Roads were still a bit sloppy in spots, particularly the hills. Overdressed a bit, base layer and vest, trying to warm back up with some cinnamon rooibos.

Snappy sunrise today. Slightly late start, but much warmer today than normal (not quite shorts weather, but close). Making up for missing yesterday’s run due to the sleet/freezing rain.

Windy, windy and some flurries. Slightly faster effort than usual. Taking a more pace-oriented approach to running has been an adjustment but I’ve been enjoying it so far.

A nice, quiet hour as the sun rose. Stopped a bit to watch a Coast Guard clipper cutting a route in the ice along the river to allow a barge to pass.

A slightly higher effort than I’d normally go for on a long run, but I felt so good the whole time. Beautiful sunny morning for tromping in the snow.

Nice and layered up this morning. Wind dropped that “real-feel” temp down to single digits but I was prepared for once. Just out there catching the sunrise.

@support.bsky.team what’s the average turnaround for a support request? Submitted a request on Monday afternoon and no follow up as of yet.

I have a lot of social anxiety around being in a gym, which is why I think I’ve gravitated toward running over the years. Bought a bunch of weights so I can do all my lifting and yoga at home. Just got some more winter gear so I’m gonna to try being out in this cold over the next couple of days 🤞

A close-up view of a foot on a treadmill, with the display showing the run data: distance (3.0 miles), pace (10:18 per mile), and time (31 minutes 13 seconds). The caption reads "I hate treadmills.”

I might hate treadmills more than running in the cold. But temps are coming back up over the next few days, so let’s put that theory to the test.

Lots of admiration for those who are #running in this cold, but it ain’t me, lol. Hitting those #kettlebells instead for a couple of days.

Good question- it’s not something I’m familiar with, so I’d have to do some Googling to find out.

So in my head this morning, lots to do this weekend. Glad I got in my run, and that I took a specific route. Passed a local running club run, chatted with the local paper running column writer. Maybe one day I’ll join an in-person running club.

Long one for the middle of the week, but it was a beautiful sunrise. Enough time to play through two albums. Went a little harder than I needed to at times, but I was going with the flow of how I felt.
