In regular #running update, today was a great day for a cozy 10km. Easy to dress for, with a bright sun!☀️ this one felt particularly great!

Oh, and icy beard again, my best of the year so far. 🤪

I participated in a podcast! (In French)

J'écoute régulièrement le podcast Ent'2 courses (anciennement coureur.io) et j'ai été invité pour un épisode de type "parcours d'auditeur". Il est paru ce matin. Je suis très content du résultat! Et c'était vraiment plaisant à enregistrer.

Strange... today my energy levels are about the same as if I didn't sleep at all last night. But I did sleep. ¯_(ツ)_/¯

The run ended up being much better than I expected! I was very grateful for the bicycle paths, where the runners outnumbered the cyclist by a large margin this morning. I do, always, make sure I'm not in the way of cyclists of course.

Temperature was great and even got me a tiny icy beard!

Because it was close to freezing point yesterday (pretty sure it got over a bit), the sidewalks in front of my house looks like a skating rink.

My expectations are low for a mid-long run this morning...

On the bright side, it only feels like -15C.

It's -3C (26F) now in Montreal, but the forecast for tomorrow morning is -19C (-2F). Quite the drop! I'll be sure to dress accordingly for my run!

At least they removed most of the snow, so the sidewalks should be nice.

Today I did a 12-hour walk. Besides stopping for eating and some occasional pauses (for the sunrise, seen through the clouds from the top of the Mont-Royal), I walked.

I don't know the distance, but I see that I did 55.3k steps today. It might me my higher count of all days, including marathon days!

It made me tremendous good on my mental health. It is inspired by a very inspiring story: Colin O'Brady. Read here:

I was affected by a virus for the last days. I'm still not fully recovered, but I went out for a small 5km this morning and it felt great! (With most probably horrible stats, but that's not the point)

I had to dress well, though as it felt like -24C outside. I long for cleared sidewalks, though!

I feel the same way and I am in the same position. I will think about it more, though. https://mastodon.social/@dangillmor/113790207321926262

First run of 2025... was cut in half. Sidewalks are too slippery for my taste, with the mix of rain and snow we have received, the ground is covered in slush (heavily watered snow). I won't risk an injury to start the year.

It's a shame though, I had the city to myself. So quiet, with snow still falling... oh well! I'm glad I got out.

Pro tip: use the "Send later" function in iMessage to send happy new year to everyone and get some sleep.

We made chocolate fondue for desert tonight, as a holiday special treat.

I feel like I have carb load enough for the whole year!

Last run of the year this morning! A nice 10k, in very comfortable weather (near freezing point). The rain from yesterday has removed almost all the snow which is bad for morale and winter activities, but awesome for running!

I finish the year with a little bit over 2000km, about 200km more than last year. And raising my yearly average from all those years I wasn't running! 🤣

I saw this, so I reacted appropriately: I opened the Wikipedia app, went to the profile section and donated 20$. https://c.im/@cdarwin/113710034110740189

Very slippery conditions this morning. I managed a 10k, but much slower than usual (like 10 minutes slower). Doesn't matter, I still enjoyed it!

(I am still already wishing for clear asphalt)

Je suis pas mal certains avoir entendu qu'il existe un site web qui indique l'état des pistes cyclables et leur déneigement à Montréal. J'ai tu rêvé ça??
