No, Grok.

Last day in #AlgonquinPark, started day off with frost and a 0°C stroll through the park; bonus: no mosquitoes at all! I ended up doing a longer loop on my own; half run / half walk, I need to replace my shoes with something with … treads.

On the way home, passing through Eganville, we saw a house with a Trump2024 flag … and a Russian flag 😳 (must be funny there today when they see the news!). Rest of drive back was good until we hit traffic in Ottawa, unloaded, and returned the Communoauto.

Me, coming out of the forest and seeing my unread counter on Mastodon over 200… in a few hours.

Oh no, something bad must have happened.

Nope, something most excellent happened!

Well, I looked at LinkedIn for 3 minutes to get some industry updates, and now I’m facing an overwhelming sense of somehow not doing enough to keep myself employed

Pretty good last full day in the park, even if I worked a bit.

Spring in Algonquin Park is different from the other times we're usually here (late summer, late fall, late winter). It's very green.

My heart has clearly enjoyed the time "off”.

Finished off the last of the special treat drinks I brought up (Pop Shoppe is a Canadian classic).

As the sun sets on our day, @TAV and I were remarking how amazingly fortunate we both are to be able to take the time off to come up here regularly.

My turn for a rough workout. It was really more of a glorified warm up, because my head brain was every which way after a day in the office

5 rounds
10 overhead squats
50 jumping jacks

The squats were supposed to be weighted, but I had to drop to a broom handle. My shoulders just weren’t up for that.

I suppose I need to give myself credit for classifying 50 squats as “not much of a workout.”

I'm about 300m from the gas station and used to schlep these on my shoulder home. Now that I have a wagon, I realize I've been too old for that shit for several years now.

I love my wagon.

Question to the running community:

My favourite person has been using a polar watch for a couple years.
She went running 3-5 times a week, around 10k or sometimes more. She always run the speed that felt comfortable for her - not very fast, but she could run 2-3 hours if needed.
10 weeks ago, she programmed a polar pro running program for a half marathon. She has been following it closely doing slow Z2 runs/walks, and the required runs with Z3 and Z4 intervals.

Perfection. Woke up to it being about 5°C out, so @TAV and I took the opportunity for a slightly longer walk to visit the falls through territory normally firmly controlled by mosquitoes and black flies at this time of year.

Today on “The Return to Fitness”, it’s day one of running solely in HR zone 2, speed be damned. It’s slow and methodical, but I know it works. I’ll rebuild my vanished base, even if it’s dull.

Late one tonight, even for me. I started Tuesday and finished on Wednesday. It was cool and quiet, just the sound of my plodding feet. Saw a meteorite streak overhead at about the halfway point. Happens every couple months. I’m going to declare it an omen of good things to come. New beginnings. #Running

What is with Americans using "miles" in their training plans for km based distance runs (and then also using metres in the plan as well)‽ #running

Bit rainy and delightfully cool. Lots of walking in the rain, followed by tea or hot chocolate. Nice relaxing day with @TAV.

Managed sixteen hours here before I had to pull the laptop out to fix something a client broke. We're right on the edge of cell service, so interwebs are s-l-o-w.

Well, that was unexpected. What should have been a low impact Z2 run turned into a second fastest 10k time 🤣
Happy Tuesday #runnersofmastodon 🏃‍♂️💨☕️ keep #running 🎉

Made it safely up to Algonquin Park. Was pretty windy with some intense rain on the way as we drove, but it's generally over now.

Monday:
91 seconds of plank
6 km of #running (17°C)

Stepped outside, heard thunder. Four hundred metres into the run, rain. One KM into the run, soaked by the nice cool rain. Had a blast on the short run.

Now, we back up and head off to the forest. …yes, I'm bringing my running gear, just in case the mood hits.

Weekly #blog. I’m thrilled to have extra time for #running and #cycling this week, especially since the rain storms politely scheduled themselves to fit my plans

The topic of first concerts we saw came up today and I was floored to realize that today is the thirtieth anniversary of my seeing Pink Floyd in concert at the Big O (Olympic stadium) in Montreal.

What a band to see live. And really set expectations way too high for other concerts.

What was your first concert?
