Thursday: 141 seconds of plank, 7.1 km of (-14°C with a windchill of -24°C, w/h gusts to 38km/hr),picked up groceries, and walked home.

Cut my run short as the 4km loop I was planning on taking largely looked like smooth ice, so I went over the Adawe crossing into Strathcona Park, and did groceries.

Pop tarts were on sale, and we're going up to Algonquin park in less than two weeks… something to look forward to.

I can't see pop tarts without thinking of that classic Têtes à claques episode (not sure anyone that doesn't speak Quebecois will get this): https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=FJiHdnD_uHE

@WTL that’s really COLD. And icy ground. Impressive you went out for a runs and not for a long skating tour.

@recollir 🤷🏻 I like it cold. 🤣 I'll try to remember to get a close-up photo of the ice texture so you can see what it looks like - it's not too bad to run on if you know how. Most of my route wasn't like this, of course … about a third of it, I think. But no one wants to see photos of sidewalks (I think)🤔. And I did abort around the really slippery parts.

@WTL
Don't know what to be more impressed with; 141 secs of plank or -24 Deg C.
Wow

@sticklandtim Thanks. Both are practice. I love the cold. I'm off my target for plank, but life should be returning to “normal" next week, so hopefully I'll be able to press on.

@WTL man, I have not had a pop tart in ages (clearly the key part of this post)

WTL,
@WTL@mastodon.social avatar

@bomkatt Likewise. I normally just walk past them … but we have a trip coming up and they were on sale. I know they won't be as good as I remember, but everything tastes better when on holidays. 🤣

@bomkatt
I think Pop tarts should start making it into my running pack. They will go nicely with the PB&J uncrustables.
I could also use a snack right now

@JustBrogrammer @bomkatt Are you proposing putting a poptart inside a peanut butter and jam sandwich? I mean … I'm not opposed to trying it. 🤔

@WTL Next time take your skates with you. That does look very icy.

WTL,
@WTL@mastodon.social avatar

@paul 🤣 Fairly icy, but because it was so windy when it re-froze, the texture on it made it okay to move on.

@WTL Those pictures look extremely treacherous.

@dairpo Surprisingly not that bad to run on -- if you're used to it.
