#running everyday for exactly two weeks is exhausting. It’s not so much the distance, but the lack of proper rest and recovery between runs means that some days it feels like you haven’t stopped for much more than a nap, and to your body not leaving enough time between runs is as good as not resting at all. So it kinda starts to be like running one really long run broken into segments, rather than multiple runs.
Good news tho, my new
#headphones arrived in the mail yesterday and I got to try them out on run number fourteen of my streak. They are bone conduction headphones so they don’t block the ole ear holes and are supposed to be safer for situational awareness like traffic and heavy machinery.

The sun was setting and I ran into an old coworker sitting on the ground talking pics of the sunset and her dog. If you squint and zoom…

The Kid was doing something dramatic at the
#university this evening so I found myself reprising the role of dad’s taxi service, but then finding a cozy place to sit and write at the Rutherford Library, and hey, legit, I worked in this library as a part time job when I went to school here. [

#running streak day ten and I got my 6k run around the hood done even as the day was getting a lot smokier out. It’s supposed to be a warm week, which I had hoped to avoid by doing this into September, but I guess
#summer isn’t quite done with us yet.

I’m logged in at the nearby Starbucks with a keyboard and a
#coffee and thinking it’s probably one of those morning when I need to write a short post here to bookmark the efforts I made in the code for this very site over the weekend. [

A couple years back I started having some issues with my GoPro camera. It would freeze and give error messages when taking photos and videos. I didn’t really have the mental energy back then to figure it out, so the camera spent nearly two years on the shelf.
Long story short, I finally did some reading and figured out it was probably a corrupt memory card, or at least s memory card that was too big or having some spec issues. An SD card is like ten bucks these days tho, so a quick replacement let me confirm my research: bad memory card.
So, even shorter version: my camera seems to be working just fine again. Stay turned!

The biggest challenge of day eight of my
#running streak is navigating my timing around tomorrow’s anticipated longer Sunday run. I squeezed in a neighbourhood five kick tour before lunch, and before the heat of the day really set in.... with still lots of recovery time before meeting the crew in the morning. [

To cap off a week long
#running streak (to be continued of course!) I went down to the dog park on a Friday morning and set off into the wild yonder across the bridge from there. They winding trip back was the most interesting by far.

#running streak day six was a wee bit of adventure in the southern suburbs of the city, and the temps were just about right for a late summer six klicks

Despite the waning
#firesmoke I went out
#running late afternoon for day 4 of my streak. The traffic was busy and being the first day of back to school there were a lot of somber looking kids walking home.
