WTL, 8 months ago to running

Thursday: 105 seconds of plank, 30 pushups, warmup stretches, and 1km of walking plus 10km of #running. It was already warm and muggy out (17°C). It's kind of amusing because in it feels like the planking is harder than the running.

Also; these temperatures, in #Ottawa, in October, are simply wrong. It should be a cozy 5 to 10°C right now, not turn-on-the-air-conditioning-hot. <long sigh>

Three photos: 1) Orange pre-sunrise sky through some spruce trees in a park with grass. 2) Ottawa river with a gradient sky, from white to blue, with shades of yellow and orange. 3) Old train bridge over the Rideau River, with the low sun reflecting off the river, with a second bridge blocking out the sun in the sky, and taking up much of the frame on the left.
Apple Fitness map of the 11km route starting in Bordeleau Park to Sussex, around Governor Generals, then to the Rideau River Eastern Pathway, following the path to the old Train bridge crossing near Hurdman Park, then through Dutchie's Hole Park on the west side of the Rideau River, to Strathcona Park, then through Sandy Hill and back into Lowertown.

@WTL it’s unseasonably mild here in the UK too. We’re forecast 21C this weekend when it should be closer to 13C.

Not the best orbit for spotting the International Space Station this evening so hiked to higher ground to see it go over.

@ColinTheMathmo next few days are looking cloudy here - hence why we went out this evening.

Today’s #running pace was all over the place — just like the #litter thrown from vehicles along beautiful country lanes. 🗑️🥫🥤🧃🧋🏃🏻‍♂️

The main suspect has a liking for Dry Cider and Scotch Eggs. 🔍

I don’t understand people that drop litter. 🤯

@WTL I can only think it’s a dangerous cocktail of laziness, stupidity and selfishness 🙄

MARVELLOUS MAY 🏃🏻‍♂️

It’s been a good month for running. Steady pacing combined with speed work continues to see an improvement in my cardio fitness with VO₂ max levels breaking the 49 mark.

119km for the month; no niggles or twinges to report; warmer, brighter mornings, and a run in London with a friend from Uni made for a rather marvellous May!
