I just finished a 4.47km running that lasted about 0hh:32mm:46ss !
Hi everyone!
Okay, so I'm not really in focus... but that's not important because for the first time in a long time I could see 5 mountains on the horizon during my run... which everyone knows... makes it a good day.
You should be able to see Mt Hood in the distance in pretty much the middle of the shot.
It was clear... but even at midday it was super frosty in the shade, I had to be super careful because it was super slippery - and made that mistake last year when I didn't respect the frost and banged up my wrist for a few weeks.
I also got totally surprised by a dog who came out of absolutely nowhere to bark at me. I've had run ins with this dog before and while he barks a lot at me... he doesn't come within a few feet... this time he surprised me and was right at my feet before our usual standoff started. He was also wearing an adorable Beavers college football jumper... so he might have been having an identity crisis.
I've got 2 runs left in this month... and 7.33kms to cover to hit 60k for January. Seems super doable as long as everything goes to plan.
Today I ran with a pace of 7'19", burnt 308 calories and dealt with an elevation gain of 135m. It was faster than my last 4 runs, so that's a little exciting.
Yesterday I did 5 rounds of:
5 minutes skipping/jump rope
10 box steps (each leg)
10 box jumps
10 deep squats
15 calf raises
My legs felt only very slightly DOMS-y today so I think I'm doing about the right amount.
Still having issues with my lower back... but I'm scheduled to see a specialist about my elbow next week so hopefully something useful comes out of that.
Hope everyone is well!
