January - 129.5 km
Starting to build volume now. I was away on a ski trip the month began with 9 consecutive days of not running. Also running slower but ended the month at a 7:00 pace on the treadmill. I will continue to get faster with the goal to get to a 6:00 pace soon.

7 km walk on the treadmill last night, 12:00 pace. I had some time to kill and was back so I hot the gym. I was too tired to run so I walked watching YouTube Videos!
Sewage issues at work , no shower today so I did a 4K walk at a 12:00 pace today on my meal break.
Took a rest day Saturday. Didn't feel like running outside in the cold and snow on Sunday so I hit the gym logging 14 km on the treadmill at a 7:00 pace. Building volume now , 16 km goal next weekend . Still running slow its seems to agree with the left knee but I do want to get back to a 6:00 goto pace soon but like the volume I will gradually get faster unless something flares up.
Through the miles and the years,
We've run with grit, with no fears. One hundred ultra marathons and more, A true testament of what we can endure.
Our legs have carried us through the night, Our hearts have beat with all their might. We've faced the heat, the cold, the rain, And yet we've run, again and again.
We've run through deserts, mountains, and seas, We've run through cities, towns, and trees. We've felt the pain, the joy, the thrill, And we've run, for the love of the hill.
We've pushed through the tough and the rough, We've run till we couldn't run enough. For the love of the sport, we've persevered, Through the hardships, we've always cheered.
We've run for those who've come before, And for those who'll come after, We've set the bar, we've broken the mold, A true testament of what can be told.
One hundred ultra marathons and more, A true testament of what we can endure, We'll run forevermore, forevermore, For the love of ultra marathon.
Still not sleeping ...grrrrr but I got it done logging 5k at a 7:00 pace on my meal break.
Well then , been a wee bit "Blog Lazy"!

At the beginning of November I was in Sakatoon working and doing a run after work most days. I picked up a classic head cold that turned into a bit of Bronchitis. This out me out of commission not running for 10 days. At the beginning of December I made a Ski trip to Whistler and at the end of the month it was another Ski trip to Europe. Whilst on both trips there was no time for running.
6th consecutive day running on the treadmill logging another 5 km today. Off for a few days going to take it outside!
The staple of my running diet was logged again today running 5k at a 7:00 pace today on my meal break.
Another 10 km on the treadmill at a 7:00 pace today. First back to back wee bit longer runs of the new year.
Longer lunch break today working a 12 hour shift. Logged 10 km on the treadmill at a 7:00 pace.
5 km today at lunch. Been running super slow, 7:30 pace. Cranked it up to 6:00 pace for the last K. Nothing hurts so running slow has been key component. Want to get it back to a mostly 6:00 pace in the next month or so.
5.2 km on the backyard trail today. This was my first run of 23 , I have been on a Ski vacation since the end of December.
