Kayak Erg 32:00 [2]
One final workout for 2020. Hoping to do this for more of my rest days in the future.

Road Bike 2:30:22 [3] 36.19 mi (4:09 / mi)
New route for me - from home down the CVT then through Charlestown, Chester Springs and Eagle before looping back home. A bit colder than expected and much windier than I realized. I was not feeling it for the last 15 miles, and it was a real struggle to get home.

shoes: Topo Terraventure 2 (Yellow -
Chilly (mid 30s), windy, but stunningly beautiful run at Valley Forge. This route was very specific; one that I used to run weekly but haven't done in at least 8 years. From Wayne's Woods, up and over Mount Joy, up and over Mount Misery, and back again. I think I got most of the route spot on, save for a spot at the bottom of Misery where I added a little extra distance and elevation as well as a route that didn't feel familiar around the backside of Mount Joy. A bit rockier than I remember, but I think that has to do with the high level of use of the trails. I pinched my left foot in a rock squeeze and also tweaked my right foot/ankle again, but I think I'll be alright.
I remember doing this run in 64 minutes when I did it, so I guess there is something to be said for my consistency.

Cold, sloppy run at Harmony Hill and Paradise Farms. Felt alright, save for the stiff legs at the end. Trails were perfect in many spots, but horrible in some others, specifically the section along the creek that flooded last week.

Run 37:16 [4] 5.15 mi (7:14 / mi)
shoes: Topo Terraventure 2 (red)
Run on the East Branch Brandywine Trail. Most of it was cleared of ice/snow, but there were some rough patches. The point of this run was to not subject my feet and ankles to the pain of yesterday's conditions, and I was successful. Rather pleased with the pace considering the conditions and also that I was running rather comfortably throughout.
Also, the temperature was the same as yesterday's run, but the wetness made it significantly colder and less comfortable.

Bad idea run at Cheslen. Hard packed snow felt like running on wet rocks, with every step off camber. The non-hard packed snow was slushy and slidey. Ankles rather sore afterwards. Also, nearly got destroyed by two deer/

Road Bike 1:03:14 [3] 16.94 mi (3:44 / mi)
Ride from home to pickup my car after a week-long stay at the garage. Cold (but could have been colder), wet (but could have been wetter), tired. Chasing daylight, just made it with little time to spare.

Good workout.
I had to change the rope on the erg a few weeks ago, and something is off, but I can't really figure out what it is.

Hard ride at home. With cold temps and the thick layer of snow, I'll need to be more creative and determined to get outside.

Early dismissal from school, so a ride at home while the snow fell.

Super sluggish trail run from Harmony Hill to Sawmill Rd. I don't think that I necessarily felt too poor, I just had very little energy from the start.

Road Bike 2:12:58 [3] 33.9 mi (3:55 / mi)
Nice ride from home - through West Chester, out around Cheslen and back home through Downingtown. Felt fine, but my quads were a bit sore from yesterday's hard effort on foot. Overcast and mid-50s temps were nice, but some places along the way felt ice cold.

Perfect day for a run at Cheslen. Out and back the red trail as fast as I could, in what I would call the "easier" way. Nice pace, but ugh - that was tough.

Back at running now that the weather is better. No pain in the ankle, slight pain in the foot, but I'll be able to run that away. Felt rather good and PRed a few segments that I run frequently at Cheslen. Nice day for a run.

Tough ride. Hoping to test the foot again once it warms up. Not quite acclimatized to running in freezing weather yet.

Hike/Trekking 1:46:56 [1] 3.83 mi (27:55 / mi)
Chilly hike with Noah at Paradise Farms and Harmony Hill. Great time - we stumbled upon a geocache (but couldn't find the two that we tried to subsequently locate) and Noah responded well to motivational m&ms. My foot felt better than I expected after yesterday's incident. Wasn't "rolled ankle tender", but it just hurt a tad.

Tried to combat the continual tiredness with a rest week. My run today felt great...until the rolled ankle and hobble back to the car.

Ankle/foot seemed unaffected by the bike, so I chose that instead.

Some generic strength work at home. Not sure if I'll go back to the gym anytime soon; I need to try something in its place.
