4.2 miles treadmill - falling further behind plan, but that is ok. The important thing is that I'm doing the best workout at the time to re-train as best as possible.

@juliet3455 It could be worse...they could be going in different directions on the track.
@7lenny7 Glad you're feeling much better!
Should've been an easy run...the first six miles were easy just doing my thing. Then I met with the group for the usual five miles, and somehow, running slower pushed my heart rate higher. It still felt like an easy run, but I have no idea where the high heart rate came from. Bodies are just plain weird at times.
Well that's the last run from me for a week...on-call duties must be met. My current shoes are just two miles shy of 500, so that's the last run for them as well. Hopefully, when the 22nd arrives (the end of my on-call sentence), the new Epic Reacts are released, so I'll be ordering a pair.
See you all in a week. Stay safe.

In my experience that crazy HR has been dehydration. Hopefully your not getting sick, and I'd think you'd know if it were over training.
I went to a conference Dec 2nd and decided I did not want to fight women for the restroom in the school wing with really short potties and drank nothing all day but one coke at lunch. By 9pm my RHR bounced from 80 to 100 laying in bed. My Garmin even gave me a warning that I needed to relax and wanted to take me through breathing exercises.
Anyhow, good luck with it.4 -

We had snow plus re-freeze yesterday. I avoided sidewalks in front of homes as much as possible and ran on the paved path. The centre of the path was a sheet of ice, but there was a thin layer of crunchy snow drifted up along the edges plus I found a segment that hasn't been plowed in at least a week. Got in my km. I think it was closer to a mostly flat trail run than a road run though. It was nice out as long as I wasn't running into the wind.
@juliet3455 The closest indoor track is at the YMCA not far from here but I expect it has the same issues with walkers as the one in your neck of the woods.

Really have no words to describe my emotions on this occurring again.I am getting sick and tired of all the ice. I slipped and fell walking to my car this morning...
@sarahthes I am so in agreement. The last 2 weeks have been miserable. I can deal with the cold, I can deal with a little ice, this Freezing Rain when it's -20C makes everything one big ice super slider.
Geared up last night, started my watch, walked from my culdesac over to the Trails. Stepped on the trails and went Ice Dancing. Turned around and went home. It's cold enough that the ice is really hard so screw shoes/traction aids can't bite into it. Grumble Grumble. My friends having been going to a local rec center 20km away with an indoor oval track , 600m 3 lanes, so it is very short with sharp corners and 2 lanes are usually bogged with walkers. If they would all stay to the inside or the outside it would be fine with 1 lane for runners. Some are on the outside, some on the inside so lots of weave and dodge.
Okay that's my rant.
At my gym, you would be asked to leave if you did not follow the simple "slower people to the outside lanes" rule. Seems much more reasonable.3 -

It was even warmer and windier today. I felt really slow, but I got my miles in. The warm doesn't bother me as much as the wind. It is hard to believe that it was 50° colder on Sunday and tomorrow it is supposed to be 30° colder. I guess winter can't make up its mind if it is coming or going.

Planned a 9 mile run today but cut it just a bit short due to very dense fog and not wanting to get hit by a car.
My Garmin Vivoactive HR did a weird thing today. I wore it on the outside of my jacket sleeve (for easy access) and I didn’t wear my chest strap today. I still got heart rate readings for the entire run. Apparently my maximum HR was 196 bpm. 7 -
02.14-9.73k Total-42.2k Goal-80k
A quick 10k before going to my Gramp's for Chinese New Year. Will probably get absolutely no running done over there, and have to settle for late night strength training and intoxicated long walks.
It was one of those days that make you feel lucky to be alive and running. A smudge above 0C, slight breeze, a bit cloudy. Started running just before dawn, so made it through all kinds of blue and gold and pink. Man I'm glad I'm a runner.
