I haven’t posted in a bit. I drafted something about a series of back-and-forths with cg9m in some comments, chiefly on She’s Gone, but I decided it wasn’t worth posting. I’ll just note that I found her accusations misplaced (I think she was in a post-election spiral) and troubling and the whole thing sad, as it came from someone who I had coached and of whom I thought highly.
But what of running? Today I did two laps of Twin Lakes. 3.2 miles in 26:06. I got to 3 yesterday and in both cases the final stretch was painful. I’d gained weight and have tried to cut down on some of my eating and get more walking in. I then threw in some running, at first walking hard for 20 minutes, running a mile or so, walking hard for 20 minutes. Then just running. So far no injuries to report.
In any case, here’s a short post-run video from this morning:

Looks nice Joe. Does the trail ever get closed due to snow? By the way, it’s warming up here – tops of around 27C lately but much cooler in the mornings.

Ewen, It gets unpassable when snow passes. Trails around here also thaw out at different speeds in different parts and, of course, there’ll be a good amount of mud. But that’s a long way from now. So I steer clear most of the winter, choosing to head for well-plowed streets.
As always, I will try to handle your pictures of running shorts and t-shirts when I’m snowed in come January.
