9 AM

Easy running (road, snow) 1:00:00 [1] 12.0 km (5:00 / km)
slept:9.0

Because we've had everything from minus 10 to 5 degrees this last week, freezing cold snow to heavy wet, it's just a really dumb idea to ski. It annoys me because I truly wanted to get after it a bit. Just bad luck that all I got was one last day of safe conditions. So I ran again..

Did my warm-up exercises inside and then went out. It was 3 degrees, strong wind and a little rain in the air. Was good conditions to run though as large portions of the snow where cars had driven was melting away.

Left my watch at home and just ran my normal flat route. Had a strong headwind going out, and then tailwind home. Probably a couple of minutes faster going back. The effort was really easy today though. Legs felt good, but I managed to hold myself back. I'm definitely well rested after three easy days, so it was a conscious decision.

Had a good time even though the weather wasn't that good. Listened to an audiobook and I'm enjoying running without a watch. When I get back home though, the Coros will be waiting for me and I'll even get the heart rate tracking going...
6 PM

Easy running (treadmill) 1:00:00 [1] 11.7 km (5:08 / km)

So this is what happened:
Went to the gym.
Saw a notice saying there was a personal trainer course there so all the gym area was taken. Treadmills were okay though.
Ran 30 minutes on the treadmill.
Considered going home and do some exercises there.
Realized I don't have any of the equipment.
So I improvised, which I'm sorry about that, it just felt right in the moment and I my flight tomorrow is early so maybe it's for the better I'll just run some more now and less tomorrow. I considered calling you, but didn't really want to bother you with running 6km now or tomorrow. There can't be much difference.
Ran 30 minutes more.

As you see from the distance I got, the effort was really easy. Got a massage at noon so my legs felt loose, but a bit sore. Went in the sauna for a 15 minute session. Though the thermometer in there is broken, I can sense that I enjoy and tolerate the heat more.

I'll get out tomorrow morning before the flight for a run. Sorry about the late post today and all that happened. It was just a packed day and I didn't really expect it to be like this. My fault and I'll do my best to get back on schedule.
