12.65K Flat Run

#23 – 50 runs in 100 days – No excuses edition

I have decided that even if this commuting means longer days that my exercising is not going to suffer. So after work I went out for a run. Mandatory reflective vest and headlight.

Even if it was colder it was not raw cold.

Saturday I had issues with my heart rate, went above 140 during my warm up but tonite it felt like normal. I have managed to get to bed earlier this week.

An interesting thing happened, someone was out with her pig 🙂 I have heard that pigs can be pets but do not know anyone who has a pig as a pet.

Nice to get out for a run even if it was later.  Twice I had to pass horses. I am not afraid of horses but I do not want to get kicked by one but nothing happened.

5.08K Flat Run

#21 – 50 runs in 100 days – No excuses edition

Today it was my first working day, got up 5 am to take the train 7 am so my brain was exhausted but I had decided that I would go out for a run when I got back home.

I was glad my stronger side won because a lot of tension disappeared after the run.

This was a test run to see if my knee was OK. After Newaza (= judo wrestling) Friday evening, when I had been home for a while I had pain in my left knee, I didn’t think it was serious.

Had a good pace from the beginning. Was dark so I wore my reflective vest and head light.

Interesting how invisible people can be who do not wear reflective vest or similar when they are walking on a dirt road without any streetlights. I passed a girl in the dark and hardly saw her.

#1 – 50 runs in 100 days – No excuses edition

Today a new challenge, doing 50 runs in 100 days, since I just got up to 35 I decided I would continue with this one. Do not have any race til June so it is more likely I will make it.

So I went out for a 12.5K run.

Temperature: 4oC (39F)

Yesterday evening it snowed and then it rained so it would be interesting to see how the ground would be. Decided to wear my regular running shoes.

The bike path was just wet from the rain but then all of a sudden there was a ice part so I had to run on the grass. Had good pace from the beginning.

Thought it would be a great idea to put on my reflective vest and bring my headlight. Turned out to be a good decision.

I came out on the dark dirt road but did not need the headlight. At the end before I have to cross a car road it goes up hill and there it was icier.

When I was back on a dirt road again it was a longer ice part, lucky me I could run at the side and on the grass.

Crossed a car road again and got on  another dirt road, had to put on the headlight, there was an ice part and then after that I got fooled by the dirt that looked like ice with the headlight on.

So part of this run I had to run a bit slower to avoid slipping on the ice.

When it is around 1.5K left I was back on the dirt road where I got fooled by the dirt and now it was really dark, harder to see the road even if I have the headlight on.

But then I was back in my neighbor hood and increased the pace at the end.

Nice again to see average pace under 6 min/k

#12 – 50 runs in 100 days – Hardcore edition
#119 – 100 Days Of Miles Challenge

I decided I would run a regular run early evening now when the temperature was perfect 13oC (55F), hardly no upwind and no rain 🙂

Best to bring headlight and reflective vest and the headlight was used during the run. I am not sure if it was goo or horse shit I was running into in the dark, before I put on th headlight. Good reason to use it when you are running in the semi dark on a gooey road. No gloves and hat.  When I did my forefoot running earlier I did not know where I could put my mobile so I left it at home but before this run I remembered I have a flipbelt. so I had a good place for mobile and keys.

The pace was not so bad.

Thought it would be colder so I actually put on a fleece, I survived but could have been without it too but did not get too warm.
