All my running of late has been āeasyā and every long run Iāve done has made me feel very unfit. I went to parkrun today for the first time in January and had a great run. I negative split each mile and surprised myself a little with the paces. A good reminder that the most effective thing I can do is be consistent and keep logging those miles.
Also, I know parkrun isnāt a race but I canāt help but try and reel people in. š¤·š½āāļø

A couple of months ago I switched to front squats instead of back squats. Itās been fun to track my progress.
Running progress seems far less linear.
We had a great escape for our long weekend.
Weāve started making plans for our summer holiday, and that includes a half marathon! This will be my first running race sinceā¦ I donāt know when, maybe 2018? (Not counting parkrun)
Also because itās spring the urban wildlife is emerging. The first two pictures are the day a raccoon brought its baby to my deck for some inexplicable reason. I scared off the adult and then realised it had left a mewling baby behind so backed off and the adult raccoon came back and retrieved it and wandered off.
The raccoon on the crossing was one I spotted from the gym window! Sadly by the time I finished my workout it had been hit by a car in the parking lot.
We had some great food in Barbados (the fish cutters at Caboose were SO GOOD that we all went back to a second round) and I discovered that I am rather partial to a rum punch.
Enjoying some warmer weather for a few days.

The swim club I joined programs all four strokes into the practices, the only one of which Iām remotely competent at is freestyle. The last few weeks weāve been having technique sessions for all the strokes and this is what my fly looks like at the moment. Plenty to work on but pleased that Iāve reached the stage where I have enough propulsion to get across the pool.
I forgot what a rollercoaster niggles can be. I took 12 days off running and that didnāt lead to any improvement in my foot niggles (which didnāt actually niggle while running) so I started running again with a run every other day.
While things werenāt getting worse they also werenāt getting better so I made myself a physio appointment and went to that earlier this week. Well of course I came away with no real diagnosis and the stuff the physio did made the issue worse! On Wednesday I went for a run (after physio on Tuesday) and felt the niggle while running - totally frustrating and I turned around and came home rather sad.
I took Thursday completely off exercise, only lifted yesterday, and then went out on a little trot today. It was niggle free! It was also warm/humid enough for bare arms and legs. Maybe better weather is the key to being niggle free?
Anyway, both the physio and my massage guy seem to think itās a nerve being irritated by something so weāll keep trucking away and hopefully Iāll be niggle free soon.
Our swim club hosted a meet this weekend. We both volunteered (as timers) and Dan also swam two events. We both came back home exhausted and were in bed by 8.30pm š
At the gym today an older man came up to me to ask me for advice because āyou look like you know what youāre doingā. And it was such a non-typical gym interaction that I had to tell everyone about it.
Iām seeing my massage guy today and hopefully weāll figure out if thereās some tightness somewhere causing the foot niggle. If thereās no improvement, I have a recommendation for a physio.
In the meantime, I got back on the bike!
It was very weird being back on the bike - my body was full of complaints about the position, the gear was too big (itās a track bike so the gear you are in, is the gear you are in), and my HR never got out of āeasyā.

I was very pleased that I ran 80km in January but then my foot started randomly hurting so I am less pleased in February.
On the bright side, swimming has been going well and the last week Iāve moved up a lane for the practices.
Spring seems very far away (weāre in the depths of another extreme cold warning) but the idea of riding my bike is feeling a little more appealing.
Because the winter has felt so long and cold, when my mom suggested we join them for a beach vacation we jumped on the idea. Hopefully weāll book flights in the next few days.
We have a cold warning and the wind has been bitter and I had to leave the house this evening to meet up with some friends so I dug out my Alberta winter coat and oh my goodness I forgot how cozy it is.
We went from bare dry ground to way too much snow overnight. And thereās more to come today and this weekend.
Bedroom renovations are wrapping up. Painting has been done, I got the drill out and hung the new curtains, and the new bed is also scheduled for this weekend.
And unrelated to anything, my boiled egg was perfection today.
Back at Masterās swimming today after our travel break. It was only mildly traumatic with lots of kick and lots of paddle work. On the plus side, it was more kick and paddle work than I could have even contemplated doing when I joined the club in September, so, progress!
Dan actually managed to swim quite a few times during our travels; I only made it to the pool once, but the nostalgia factor was high as I went back to the pool where I learnt to swim as a child!
Naturally, afterward I had to get a hot chocolate and a mince pie. Sadly there were no such treats after todayās swim but Dan is making us shakshuka.
Edinburgh is sufficiently far north that sunrise is around 0840 and sunset is around 1540. We made the most of the sunshine yesterday with a walk along Holyrood.
Then we went for a run. We were aiming for the Marine Esplanade which sounded nice in theory but in practice was a muddy path with some sketchy youths blocking the way. We backtracked after taking the picture.
The main road wasnāt particularly scenic but we perseveredā¦
And finally got to the Portobello bus depot to catch a bus back to our hotel.

One of the reasons I wanted to start running again is because itās SO much easier to pack some running shoes and go for a jog when on holiday than to sort out a bike. I might still have to get on a šāš© š² though, specially since the protected bike infrastructure in London is next level compared to Ontario.
I was really proud of myself for heading out for a run when the feels like was -15C. The post shower tea and banana bread also really hit the spot.
