I'd hoped for a bit of a longer run, but that felt just right today.
I'm so damn tired of the treadmill but the trails are still icy. 🫤

Happy National Flag of Canada Day! 🇨🇦
A much shorter run than usual today.
I'm still babying that left knee.
Feeling good though.
I think it's well on its way to being healed.

Day 2 of Not Running. 😕
Knee Brace, Ibuprofen, Voltaren.
Some improvement in my twisted knee.
Very mild strain & oddly enough....not running related.

Twisted my left knee on ice last week.
I pushed through my Saturday long run & likely did myself no favors.
Rest Day today. Speed Work tomorrow.
✨Rest isn't defeat. It's a strategic retreat, fueling your comeback stronger and faster.✨

Re-deleted Facebook and Snapchat tonight.
I will miss some of the groups from Facebook but overall, I didn't find it useful. Just stressful.
Anyone from #EdmontonRunningCommunity #TrailSistersEdmonton or #BackpackingBadass on here?
Fast 5k done & it felt great! Smooth run.
