3.2 km of breaking trail again on the snowshoes late yesterday afternoon. It was tough slugging in the wet heavy snow. wanted to go further but an hour+ of that was enough.
. Running is really quite simple for me , to run long I have to run long and to run fast I have to run fast and to run long and fast I have to run long and fast and to run really long I have to learn to run slow and eat like a horse

It snowed and snowed and snowed Xmas day. Tail shoes have been traded in for snow shoes. Logged 3 laps breaking trail in my large float shoes...stomped out a good trail. 3.2 km added to the monthly total. I am determined to keep the backyard trail open through the winter.

Wednesday Trail
6 laps good for 5.6 km on the backyard trail late this morning. This was my coldest run of the season at -9C. Changed from running pants to tights , added a long sleeve tech t between the thermal shirt and shell work a buff band covering my ears and a ball cap. Slightly overdressed but I am usually OK with that on the shorter runs. Wrapped up the run with an hour and a bit in the hot tub.

Was at Whistler last week skiing , no time and no need to run.
Worked 3 mids over the weekend , didn't run slept on my break to aid in not turning around like usually do.
Monday afternoon I logged 5 laps on the backyard trail ... it was nice and a return to running after a week off.

November Totals
November - 102.8 km
YTD - 2,105.5 km
It was a bit of a blow out month. Had a small surgery to remove a lipoma from may back on the 2nd so it was a week off with a slow return to running again. When I started back I did 4 walks before I did a run. The longest run was 7.2 km twice! I really don't feel like I have lost much and ended the month on a good note running 7 consecutive days albeit short! Still feel 50 km ready ...never want to loose that!
Breakdown
6 X Days off recovering from surgery
1 X Sick day ...head cold.
4 X walk 19.2 km
5 X road 26 km
11 X trail 57.6 km
4 X rest days

Last 2 days of December
On Sunday I had intended on going a wee bit longer but the day was full and I only managed to squeeze in a 4.8 km run. Tripped 20k steps on the day heading out on the last lap so yeah ... good enough.
Yesterday it was 5 laps good for 5 km around Allan Park on my meal break. No more shorts it was cold , windy , snowy and dark but I got it done wrapping up November 2020 running.
