Yesterday’s COVID shot hit me like a freight train. I’m pretty useless today. ☹️

So I did 4k run/walk/run in the sunshine, being before 7am on a Sunday town was super quiet, which was lovely. Hard to believe with these blue skies, but rain is supposed to be here within the next three hours. After running outdoors I actually feel mentally/emotionally good for the first time in two weeks #running

Friday: 121 seconds of plank, 11 minutes of yoga for runners, 31 minutes of Strength training, followed by 6.6 km of #running (0°C), picked up groceries, and walked home.

I tried dialingmy running back this week, and I think I have to try and take next week off completely and possibly book an appointment with my doctor to see what she thinks is going on.

Monday: 160 seconds of plank, 11 minutes of #AppleFitness Yoga for runners, 21 minutes of strength training, and 10 minutes of core training, followed by 5.2 km of #running (-4°C with a windchill of -8°C), picked up groceries, and walked home.

Nice and cool run, at least. I'll enjoy it while it lasts.

1) Bordeleau Park, turning green with the gravel path going into the distance with tall trees. 2) Tall willow tree with Rideau River behind it. 3) Gravel path through threes leading to the stairs at the north end of Strathcona Park

Ooooh 5.6km run/walk, one song on, one song recovery throughout. Managed it all comfortably right up until the very last minute, which was a sprint which defeated me! 51’ 30” exercise to start the day right 😁 #running #fitness

Thursday: 142 seconds of plank, 20 minutes of #AppleFitness HIIT, 11 minutes of runner’s yoga, followed by 10.4 km of #running (4°C, “light” rain, and a 22km/hr wind), picked up groceries, and walked home.

This is possibly my least preferred conditions to run in: cold, windy rain (although cloudless +30°C would be a close second).

Contemplating taking a week off running to give it a break and see if that helps. Cycling's easier on the knee. 🤔 Why can't this be easier?

1) Rideau Falls, seen from the west side, flowing heavily. 2) Gravel path on the east side of the Governor Generals, with a large decorative fence, with trees, and a wet road on the right. 4) Large tree on the shore of the Rideau River

I had a good evening at the jazz last night, I just lied a lot when people asked me how I was. And I slept OK but I feel sick with anxiety this morning for NO REASON. My supervisors are being supportive so I don’t need to worry about PhD stuff. I don’t need to do anything I don’t want to today. Yet still I can’t swallow. I’ll go for a run once my grocery delivery has been, that might help #running #anxiety

Just been out in the sunshine for a 30 min/3.5km walk/power walk/jog/run intervals thing. I managed to jog continuously for 10 minutes which is the longest I have been at any sort of pace for months. Getting back to #fitness is so much work! Thoroughly enjoyed myself though #running

An enforced break from running, calf muscles are uncooperative.
How do runners cope with not being able to run ? (Badly, I guess).

Plenty of stress around at the moment which running would really help.
I've never taken my physical fitness for granted but the next few weeks are going to be frustrating.
Enjoy your running !

1️⃣ Band-assisted pull-up x7
2️⃣ Band-assisted dips x12
3️⃣ Elevated single-calf raise @ 5kg x8/side
4️⃣ Loaded beast, front step, front kick & back x3/side
5️⃣ Push-up x3
6️⃣ Side-to-side plank x12/side

I have to keep it easy on the lower body this week because I'm #running my first 10k race on Sunday.
So no high impact exercises. I think I will skip circuit training on Thursday and do 2 hours of juggling instead of 1.

Thursday: 141 seconds of plank, 7.1 km of #running (-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.

Good to see London setting the pace with equal prize money. An important move forwards on many levels - not just for the elite athletes.
Pressure on for Berlin, NYC, Tokyo, Paris etc

Friday: 200 seconds of plank, 13 minutes of kettle bells, followed by 6.2 km of #running (0°C with a windchill of °-5C).

Firstly, woot! Hit my plank target; figured it was Friday and I should go for it. Sore though.

Opted for a shorter run today to try and save some energy for the long day ahead.

Most of you might like #running in sunny 74°F/23°C weather, but in late January?!? It's an abomination and I hate it before I've even left the house.

Been on the treadmill doing intervals but couldn’t manage the whole 30 minutes. Now I’m going out for a 20 min power walk in the dawn light #running #fitness

Wow.

#RudyGiuliani is still making baseless claims about 2020 election. STFU Rudy Colludey. You're toast.

Via Acyn:

Reporter: Do you still believe what you said about these two women was truthful?

Giuliani: I have no doubt that my comments were made and they were supportable & they are supportable today

Via Emptywheel:

This is really not the kind of speech you give after you YOURSELF default on discovery in a case before Beryl Howell.

YMMV, but holy hell she will not be happy about this.

Wednesday: 120 seconds of plank, 100 pushups, followed by 10.3 KM of #running (-12°C w/ windchill of -18°C), and then five and a half minutes of kettle bells. Return of the #IceBeard! Good run, even if it was chilly out. Love this weather though.

Collage of five images: 1) Pre-sunrise Rideau River with the eastern shore in the distance with a few lights visible. 2) Snow-covered recreational path with snow-covered trees on both sides. 3) Close-up of some berries with snow piled on top of them on a branch 4) Sunrise just peaking over the eastern shore of the Rideau river, with some trees, and snow-covered ground in the foreground. 5) Selfie of a white guy with glasses, a toque, a red coat and an icy beard in a red coat.
