Monday #Workout:
200 seconds of plank.
11 mins of yoga for runners.
11 mins of HIIT.
6 mins of strength training (AKA snow shovelling).
12.6 KM of #Running (-2°C, -6 windchill, 94% humidity, and 13 km/hr wind).

Good workouts, run was slippery, but wow was it great to be back on #TeamShorts. Slush is *everywhere*, and I got my feet *soaked* running from water streaming out of a building parking garage (see fire truck in photo).

Remember to rinse your running shoes to get the salt off!

Monday #Workout:
200 seconds of plank
11 minutes of yoga for runners.
10 minutes of HIIT (High Intensity Interval Training).
17.3 KM of #Running (-13°C, -19°C windchill, 91% humidity, and 9 km/hr wind).

Workouts went fast. Again increased distance to 17km, and decided it was a good opportunity to run the length of the Rideau Canal skateway. I'll really feel that later. Coldest #TeamShorts run, really felt it once on the ice as there was no protection from the wind, but legs are fine.

I just put forth my first 10 km run since the end of July and I am so very thrilled about it.

For the better part of a year and a half, I’d been on a cadence of 10 km runs every other day, except some illness and injury. Then I fell apart. Now I feel put back together again. I am equally grateful and hopeful.

:My running stats: 10.02 km in 1:08:52 for an average pace of 6:52/km.

Jupiter can be seen as a big bright dot above a darkened school building and twinkling lights in the background.

@WTL @TAV #TeamShorts is an implicit profession that the opinions of others have no bearing on the individual. We choose comfort and accept whatever else comes.

That being said, I didn’t know you went TeamShorts on walks too! I thought it was just for running. @s1m0n4 might be right… you are a furry bear!

Sunday #Workout:
Nine hours of sleep.
7.6 KM of #Walking (snow squall warning, -4°C, -12°C Windchill, 85% humidity, and 35 km/hr wind, gusting to 51 KM/H).

Started off with some snow shovelling, and on our walk to brunch @TAV and I got caught in a snow squall, with snow flying sideways - so cool!

One weird thing about being on #TeamShorts; it appears to make other people smile. i can deal with that.

Now, time to do some #MealPrep and make some soup … if I can get out of my comfy chair.

Friday #Workout:
Quick day trip with @TAV to Montreal (first train in, last train out), with 15km of #Walking around Montreal.

Costume balls exhibit at the McCord
Stewart museum.

Dinner with a friend we haven't seen in too long, and then the train back to Ottawa.
