I’m not yet a lean, mean running machine – but I actually have put in a little more than 20K during the last 8 days. It has to be at least 20 years since that last happened.

It feels great. I’m at a point where I can actually run all of my routes at a comfortable pace where I’m not winded for a moment.

Tonight I ran one that takes me along the water for a good 1.5K - it’s 45F and there’s a wind chill, it was bloody cold some of the way but it is also magnificent to run in the dark, listening to the water breaking against the sea wall and having that full ocean smell head on

I ran 4.13K in 26.23 – it’s a tiny bit slower than the other day, but I ran it in reverse and ran uphill part of the way – Danish uphill is just the gentlest of slope, but it’s there. On the other hand I had the wind behind me along the water or it would have been murder. I had to take my cap of.
