I know what you guys are thinking. You’re thinking I gave up because you haven’t heard from me in months. Au contraire! I’ve been jogging fairly regularly with breaks here and there for illness, injury, or vacation. I have mostly forgone the runners log for now, but I might eventually pick it back up. In the meantime, rest assured that I am still jogging.
I hope you find the time to go for a jog soon as well.

2:49 pm; 88° at 61% humidity and 3 mph wind; 3 miles; 39:46; 13:15/mi; ZR Season of the Hunter E6; I did it! I did actually stop to walk quite a few times (look at my pace lol), but that’s ok! I went! I moved and each time I move at this pace and for this distance, my body becomes more accustomed to it and better equipped to move again. I try to remind myself that jogging is an act of love for myself and that future me will be able to move with more confidence and ease because of it. Also though?, it was quite hot. This is out of the range of comfortable jogging weather. It’s ok for every once in a while, but unsustainable long term. I’ll have to be more careful about times and heat once summer hits. Between the sun in the day and the thunderstorms in the evening, morning is really the only time to jog safely and comfortably.

6:36 am; 73° at 97% humidity and 10 mph wind; 1.75 miles; 21:52; 12:30/mi; ZR Season of the Hunter E5; Went a little longer than intended because my zr mission wasn’t done and I knew there was probably only one sound part left. Once that finished, I kept going until I hit .75 bc that seemed like a nice number to finish on. Weather was verryyy muggy but at least there was some wind and it wasn’t too hot. I changed my route once to avoid the winding bit by the lake and twice to avoid the sprinklers and a fallen tree. I saw lots of little birds including two blue jays. Some kind of heron flew over head and also two duck looking things? But it didn’t quite look like a mallard which is what I would expect for my area. Maybe the black bellied whistling ducks again??

6:42 am; 68° at 89% humidity and 3 mph wind; 1 mile; 10:33/mi; ZR Season of the Hunter E5 (incomplete); WOOOOO NEW HIGH SCORE! this is the fastest I’ve run a mile since I got the garmin back in December 2021 (granted, I wasn’t jogging for a lot of that time but that might actually make it worse? Like I’ve wasted so much time). The weather was nice and my jog went smoothly. Looking at my pace, I obviously wasn’t steady, but I never dropped to a walk. Took me a while to get out of bed and ready this morning, so I only did a mile which gave me a chance to Go Fast. Talked to my dad yesterday and it made me nostalgic for distance runs. I’m tempted to try a jog around the lake on the weekend. Saturday morning maybe?

8:07 am; 81° with 93% humidity and 6 mph winds; 1.5 miles; 18:32; 12:21/mi; ZR Season of the Hunter E4; that went ok! I know my summary says it was a little breezy but honestly the air felt so stagnant and oppressive. Very damp and humid. No blue sky or sun, only gray clouds. The run itself was good, and I didn’t stop to walk at all so that’s good! I think the neighborhood + complex works well for the 1.5 miles. That little section by the lake is still difficult to jog, but at least I only have to do it once with this route. Saw a couple geese, some ducks, squirrels, and a man walking two dogs. Shokz headphones are working perfectly for my jogs. I can hear my game as well as the outside, and I never have to adjust them.

6:31 am; 79° with 90% humidity; 1.5 miles; 18:15; 12:11/mi; ran in moms neighborhood again and it was soooo pleasant. The weather was warm but still really nice. I heard a woodpecker! I appreciate that my new headphones let me hear everything outside so clearly.

7:41 am; 72°; 1.5 miles; 18:15; 12:11/mi; ZR Season of the Hunter E3; today was a beautiful, warm, sunny run. I went a bit faster, and it was a bit easier than it has been for a few weeks. I don’t know if the time I went or the lovely weather played a role, but I am certain the neighborhood had something to do with it. Running in my ma’s neighborhood is so pleasant. I saw turtles in the ditch and passed a couple walking their dogs in the park. I hope my next jog is pleasant as well. I had to slow to a walk to cross the street twice, and once to turn around, and still my time was good. So, I must have really been moving.

6:37 am; 64°; 1.77 mi; 22:46; 12:53/mi; ZR Season of the Hunter Episode 2; 235.7; when I left for my jog, I was surprised to see it must have rained last night. The ground was still wet and puddly for my run, but no rain. No baby geese either. I think they must be gone for good :( I ran a touch longer than usual because I wanted to finish my episode. (Which is nice! It’s good to be interested enough in something to want to run longer. It’s also nice to be ambivalent enough about jogging to be willing to keep going just to get to a good stopping point in my story!!)
