I’m up to 19km. Going to push it over 20km tomorrow morning I think.

    A bit over 23 miles this week. I try to average around 20 miles/week or around 1k/yr. I’m actually a little shy and will have to push my numbers up a bit to make it this year!

      Lofty goals I love it! I definitely could be running more so now that the weather has cooled I’m hoping to get more in a sweet spot.

        Ya,. running in the cool/cold is definitely easier on the body. But boy is it harder to get out of the house! :)

          Funny story it’s when it fully clicked with me that runners are crazy.

          My first winter running I was out for a walk after a heavy snowstorm to run errands. Passed a runner asked what the traction was like.

          Then realized they are running in that and I want to run in that. Only a crazy person. Lol

            I ran with a local store for a few years as part of marathon training. During that ramp up of my running I learned to run in just about anything. I’ve run in single digit temps, snow, lightening, dark… Just about everything :)

            There’s always an excuse to not run, getting through those excuses is the trick.

            Once, our running group (there was only a handful of us) helped a car get up a hill. It was stuck in the snow haha.

              That’s awesome. The only thing keeping me from night runs is the coyotes which is weird I’m in an urban area outside Toronto lol.

              How you find single digits with the nose adjustment? I always find the temp shock takes a while to accustom breathing deep.

              Rain I hate the raw nipples but love everything else about running in the rain.

                With the cold, you’ve gotta just keep running from summer, through fall into winter and you acclimate with the weather. I never really experience any breathing issues in the cold. once it gets down below 20°f I start putting aquaphor on any exposed skin (cheeks/lips/nose).

                I don’t generally run “at night” but as winter hits, I run in the dark for sure. Lots of lights, including a head lamp. I actually feel more visible to cars running at night, but generally it’s associated with winter and colder temps too.

                I have never really had issues with “red 11” (aka nipple issues) running, and also quite enjoy running in the rain. A light rain can be a quite enjoyable.

                I’ve run in Toronto (Brampton area) before. I’ve been up there for work a few times. Looking on Garmin connect, seems it was back in 2017 :)

    16 km. Still working back up to volume/intensity after an injury and last week was intense so this week is mild.

    Did set a 5k PR this morning though, 36’ 55". Never actually raced one, so just times based off training results.

    35 km this week, though I may run later today. I’ve had higher weeks lately but have a half marathon coming up so I’m in the taper phase

    Actually just went for my first run in a few weeks after having COVID. Kept it short at 3k. A few coughs and I didn’t feel like I was filling my lungs - will need to take it easy for a little bit I think.

    21 miles this week. I had to cut my 10 mile run short yesterday because it was just too hot. It was 85°F when I left for my run in the early afternoon sun. Not a real smart move, but I thought it wouldn’t be so bad based on the season.

    Running a half in a few weeks and wishing I had run a bit more over the last month.
