Faster Than Your Couch!
Run for fun.

heel is a little sore from yesterday's run, so I'll skip running and take the mtn bike out instead
qotd: both, but I often tend to get it wrong- when I listen to intuition I should have listened to reason and vise versa

Ran the Dirty German 25k today, and ran into wcrunner! We chatted for awhile after the race, while I pounded down some food and a beer. I am really sore but it was a fun day on the trails.
qotd: usually reason. I don't think I have the best intuition.

Endless trails
I was out running, got in a slow-pokey 13 miles on dirt roads in a State Park. I happened to pick the
same day that the horsey people were doing some kinda horsey thing.
Couch: I hope this issue passes quickly. I'm always surprised when I get back into it after an injury/illness
layoff, I'm able to ramp back up the mileage sooner than I think.
QOTD: The older I get the more I pay attention to those signs, intuition, otherwise I follow reason.
Are we there, yet?
10+ miles on the trails used for the Dirty German Races running the opposite direction of the race so I could see the runners coming toward me. Met TrailsnCocktails before the start on the 25K, then hung out with her for a while after she finished. Bumped into Muppy also after he finished his first lap and was getting ready to head out for his second just before TrailsnCocktails finished.
QOTD: I see intuition as reason working so fast you can't follow all the steps leading to the conclusion, so I don't see it as an either/or proposition. Given time I use reason to think things through, with tuition it depends on how strong it is.

Good evening folks. DW and I ran 5 easy miles on some flat and wet trails. Foot is healing. Just a little bump where the puncture was and it's a bit raised so I can feel it, but not painful like it was a few days ago.
Couch - hope you feel better soon.
QOTD: I reason things out, but rely heavily on my intuition.

“Paralysis-to-50k” training plan is underway!
12.5 on the trails at sunrise today - beautiful morning, great run. Ran a trail 10k yesterday, felt sort of blah and unenergetic, ran rather than raced. Today was a nice fresh start.
QOTD: I lean strongly toward the reason end. Not always successfully, but it's gotten me this far.
Couch: I am so sorry you are so sick.I hope you feel better soon . It is very frustrating for you.don't rush it...give your body a chance to recharge.
Had a very nice hour and a half run out at the state park. I am so slow I don't bother taking my garmin. It would be too depressing to see my pace in numbers. It was a beautiful day. I fell twice. The last one was a face plant..scraped my nose...but not too bad. It was still a great time.
Qotd: I guess I use reason first but rely on my intuition when the trail comes to a fork and both choices seem reasonable. Relying on intuition takes a lot of faith in one's self.
January , 2022 Yankee Springs Winter Challenge 25k
Sunday was a SRD for me. I moved from Busan to Shanghai. So this morning's (it's Monday here already) 5 mile run was a very flat, warm and humid run along the Pudong side of the river.
I always run very early when in China before the air gets too messed up and there are less people and cars around.
FTYC, hope you are feeling better and bounce back soon.
qotd: I'm more of a 'reason' type.
