Sounds like a good day to go running!
No wind though and that makes all the difference. The difficult thing today was the lack of traction. That makes for sore muscles as you slip and slide around, and it's also frustrating. However if you don't overdo it it is actually good for you. It brings all those little muscles in your feet and legs into play. Kind of like running on the beach....yah right... except with no water, no sand and no sun!!
I feel a little bit better than yesterday, as I managed 25 kms without difficulty. The temperature softened up as the run wore on but the snow and ice were a challenge throughout. The left knee is hanging in ok, but the achilles is still a bit sore. I will know better tomorrow how that's going. I have worked hard to continue my stretching, and hopefully that will keep it under control.
I know this won't be a surprise to anyone but travelling to Mexico reminded me just how much the sunshine can affect your mood. It seems like we haven't seen it in southwestern Ontario for a month. Hopefully we will have a nice short winter. Can you tell that the days are getting noticeably longer? It always puzzled me why the coldest and warmest times of year seem to lag at least a month behind the shortest and longest days? Who knows the answer to that one?....without researching it!
I was also planning on going swimming today but more important things came up.
His first day ever at the skating rink. I am so grateful for these opportunities.
I will swim tomorrow....I promise!
I wish to dedicate day 116 to Roo's brother-in law Larry, who's name came up tonite, and as always in a positive way.
