Friday #Workout:
210 seconds of plank.
22 mins of yoga for runners.
23.28 KM of #Running (Light rain, 0°C, 100% humidity, & 17 km/h wind)
Plank & double-yoga was good (figured I could use some extra stretching).
Started in the cold rain and started the run, puttered along the Voyageurs pathway to the Chief William Commanda Bridge to discover that the city had closed it again (snow!), so doubled back, over Chaudiere bridge, and gleefully ran in the rain. So very tired at the end, though.
Le jeudi soir c'est salle de sport après le travail #running + #musculation , travail sur tapis (j'aime pas caaaaaa) avec des toutes petites pentes de temps en temps et une accélération à 4'30 sur 500m (oui je sais c'est une vitesse de croisière pour certain.e.s
) et des charges pas trop lourdes sur les cuisses (pas l'envie qui manquait ) bon vendredi tout le monde ! #sport #motivation #salledesport #runnersofmastodon #trail #prepatrail #workout #routine

14 KM of #Running (-7°C, -16°C windchill, 90% humidity, and 36 KM/H wind, gusting to 50 KM/H).
Good workouts, and what a difference from yesterday - welcome to spring in #Ottawa! Everything is covered in snow again, and the wind was very gusty and blowing snow everywhere. Lots of slush near roads too.
It was tough, my shoes got wet, but it was absolutely beautiful to run in.
