No time for more. No energy for faster. Quite windy today, but it had let up a little in time for the walk. I'm sure some gusts were well over 80kph this afternoon.

We seem to be getting a little faster. Still not enough to tire the dog. She still wants to run during the walks.

good Walking the dog 3.54 km 00:29 13:02 pace
Took the dog out for a walk on the trail. Ran some to try and beat the beast out. I don't think it is possible.

Took the dog out for a run. It is working out well with her and the bicycle, but a bit too slow and short for me.

Easy walk and run on the railbed. Much nicer on my legs.

good Railbed Walk 4.12 km 00:47 18:31 pace
Took to the trail instead of the boardwalk. Easier on my legs, and allowed for a distance increase. Light NE wind made the return leg cool in the exposed areas. No running mixed in this time.

RUN
good Around the Pond 3.19 km 00:28 14:12 pace
A warm and nearly windless evening. Ran a bit more than usual this time. Still find the boardwalk hard on the shins. Knees are not liking it either. Got to get Roxanne to like the trails.

good Around the Pond 3.19 km 00:22 11:16 pace
Tried the boardwalk without the VFFs and it was a little easier on my shins. Only had to stop and stretch once, plus a couple of short slowdowns to a walk. At least there were no knee problems.

Very windy, but 20C and mostly sunny. Did a bit of running, and the right knee was pretty good. There is hope for a race later in the summer.

Walk/run over the boardwalk. Right knee was not too bad. A few patches of snow left.

RUN
good First run of the year 2.6 km 00:18 11:09 pace
First run of the year, so I kept it short and easy. 0C with snow and slush on the roads. Had the dog and Rhodie with me. My right knee was hurting at the beginning, but improved after a while.

great Around the streets 2.24 km 00:08:08 10.3mph pace
Took the bike out for the first ride of the year. I love cycling!


Running on a boardwalk really hurts my shins, and I don't know why. You are way faster than me!

I know a few people who avoid running on the boardwalk because of the shin thing. There must be too much bounce or something. I find it more of a problem starting out the season when everything in my legs needs to be rebuilt. This time of year I really should be sticking to the gravel trails. As for speed, I would be faster, but my heart rate gets too high. We all have our own pace.
