#RaederleRuns inside due to frozen rain precipitating at optimal post-work time. I opted to set the treadmill a bit slower than I like but it resulted in a lower heart rate and sustainable pace for 4 miles with zero walk.
Unlike Monday night, #RaederlesNoxTheCat opted not to join me on the dreadmill tonight.

Made time for a short run before picking up kiddo from school so he didn’t have to ride the bus. It was a gorgeous afternoon.
I 💜 autumn 🍂 runs.
I am slowing building up endurance again due to a tendon injury. It’s as healed as it going to get, now I need to strengthen it and drop the weight I gained not running or eating properly.
Metric units: 5.1km, pace of 9:06/km, 46 min 26 sec seems to translate to metric unless I’m behind 🤪

Happy Autumn 🍂 if you are in the northern hemisphere. I’ve been a bit quiet and still lately, trying to heal my Achilles tendon. The weather was beautiful and I was fairly pain free.
I fitted the shoes with new insoles, programmed 90 second run/90 second walk interval workout, laced up, and hit the path. Kiddo called and we chatted the last .75 miles (1.2 km). I have room to go to gain back fitness but am so happy.

I planned to run one of my favorite #RailsToTrails this morning. After I parked, I noticed a lot of activity for 7 am on a Saturday. Most were family groups with young children so I plucked up courage & asked a family about the activity.
I nearly joined a 5K without registering aka a bandit run🤪 After a quick internet search, discovered it was for a local org that I do not support so left to find my own quiet spot.

Sometimes, I pick a route on #RailsToTrails that has unpaved trails winding off the main path. I usually start at the trailhead marking path 5 & travel roughly counterclockwise. In total, it’s about a mile if I do all the zigzags. I opted to go in at a midpoint & out at the path 5 trailhead, traveling clockwise. I don’t love the downhill run while dodging roots. Much prefer the same path but uphill. After that warmup Rails to Trails was easier 🤣
#Garmin offered two new badges for the #Running activity this month. I’m a sucker for imaginary interwebz points. #BeatYesterday badges challenge us to run 5 out of 7 days for two weeks. For each consecutive run, run 5 minutes longer than the previous run. We earn one badge for 1 week and a second badge for weeks in a row. If I get my butt in gear tomorrow morning, I’ll earn the week one badge.
