Long weekend run on a Friday due to travel tomorrow so you get the wolf selfie today. This was a cut back week so it should be easier but that's a relative thing. It was very possible this morning but still took a lot of effort. Eight miles today with three pushes of a half

So, I have a doctor's appointment today as well and thus won't make my swim. Thankfully, I could get my swimming done while running this morning. Erf. Wet wolf smell. Just a little one but I'm sore. Three miles with strides.

Running is easy, right? If only. BBQ'd wolf today. More wolf! [18+] !links www.twitch.tv/primrose_wolf

Finally, back in the pool. Nearly three weeks off would make an actual swimmer rusty but I felt very strong today. Until I started to cramp up in various places but this morning may have had something to do with that. Today is what I'd call a lot. Erf. 1,975 yards. It was

Have I spoken about my coach's love of intervals? Today was ten of them. A minute each of a low to flat 7 minute per mile pace. This feels sustainable but it likely isn't for very long quite yet. I'm getting the feeling she's not really paying attention to my plan to do

Forgot a picture today. But you've all seen my usual trail so much you know what it looks like. Heh. My watch was unhappy I went again after yesterday's big run but it wasn't that bad for me. Bit sore, bit HR capped, but nothing terrible. Four miles easy.

My coach is a huge fan of intervals. She knows what she's doing but today was nothing but. Here's the deal. Run a quarter mile at a good race pace, just under 9. Then rest, as it were, for the remaining three quarters more at an easier run pace. Anywhere from a mid 9 to a

I slept really well and that does make a difference. Everyone being nice to me after stream really felt good. Erf. Anyway, your standard four mile run this morning but there were strides. What are those? Strides are short periods of going really fast, for interval training.

Happy New Year! Let's start this one off right, together! More wolf! [18+] !links www.twitch.tv/primrose_wolf

New year, another run. 2025 was massively eventful for me. Some good, some bad. But we're still going. In this great race we call life, there is but one finish line, and there's no point in focusing on that. All we can do is keep putting one paw in front of the other.

My second ride today. I thought to try a route different than my standard bike path/running trail and this wasn't very well thought out. After messing around in a new development for a bit, I got out on the highway. One, there was a hill. I know, cyclists are insane about

What was a weekend long run just a few days ago is now a weekday normal run. It was cold so the bridges were deathtraps. My beard was crunchy with frozen snot. Anyone who says running is a delicate sport is crazy. Eight miles, with three relatively fast. Those weren't the

Bog standard four mile run. It's good to be home. Holding a flat 9, at least at the start, felt good. Wrapping up an eventful year. 978 miles running so far in 2025. I'm still salty about that fall but it's time to move forward.

A bit foggy this morning. This was not an easy one. Eight miles isn't that hard, in and of itself, but there were three segments in there of a half mile each where I was going almost flat out. Intervals are erf, but I did it. A good run for my last one here. 29 miles for the week.

You'd think an easy 4 mile run where my coach knows how I operate and put things by pace with a quite slow limit would be easier, especially after a day off. You'd be wrong. OW. Pained wolf is erf.

Merry Christmas from your crazed running wolf. It's not the holiday that matters. It's being with one another. But this only makes things harder for those who don't have the perfect family to be with tomorrow. Who either have nobody at all or family that doesn't want them,

I know I want to do triathlon but was it strictly necessary to do my swim at the same time as my run this morning? Very soggy wolf today. I forgot my rain hat and it was too warm for the jacket so I got wet. Seven miles, with something new: a pyramid. This is something

Found a new municipal trail. This is far better than trying to run on the suburban streets. A very nice rail trail that will eventually be over 300 miles long. Impressive stuff. I'm seriously cooked after yesterday's adventure getting up here but it felt good today. Still

It feels ridiculous to say that a seven mile run that took about an hour was easy. But it was, at least until the fast finish at the end. But even that wasn't a big deal. I do feel much stronger. We'll see how well that holds up when the distances on weekend long runs are a

This is the third birthday now that I've run on. I have a lot of advice. It's become my thing, to probably much annoyance. But the most important one of all is to not give into regret. Life is risky. Taking chances and trying things are hard. And failure hurts. Pain

I'm under orders to not go too hard today with the blood lactate testing tomorrow afternoon. Literally nothing tomorrow before that, which will be an unused break. So, I didn't keep up with everyone else today and didn't do the sprints and blasts but I still swam 2275 yards.

Four miles easy should be easy. I do this all the time. But holy moly it was not this morning. I am much more cooked from not only yesterday but everything that's been accumulating for a while now so it was a serious struggle. Yes, (1/2)

I didn't really take note of it until just now but yesterday, I finally became a triathlete. The bike is in paw. That thing is terrifyingly fast and my skills are awful, so I am not using anything like its full capabilities. This is why we train. A six mile weekend race

This was the first time I've ridden a bike since college. And that was a solid decade after when I was really used to bikes growing up. The college one was me using a borrowed bike to get my car after needing to be driven home from a party. It was nowhere near as hard as

Shortly after I first started trying to run, I happened across a page on the MarathonHandbook website listing the best running movies. Number one was Spirit of the Marathon. (1/4)

Big announcement tonight. This one has been a long time coming. I'd love to see you there. More wolf! [18+] !links www.twitch.tv/primrose_wolf

I'm going to hold the news for stream but something big happened this morning. Yes, I'm being a tease. Six miles, with strides. Felt good this morning but my left leg is unhappy. Nothing too major, thankfully.

I'm a bit amazed that running a flat 9 or close to it for 5 miles feels de rigueur now. I got some good rest and I feel good now. Sore, sure, but nothing like a really hard one.

Everybody says cats knocking ornaments off is cute. But lift your leg on the tree and everyone loses their minds! More wolf! [18+] !links www.twitch.tv/primrose_wolf

2375 yards in the pool today. I can finally keep up with the rest of them, mostly. I'm not as fast on the actual lengths but I could do the entire set. Although none of us did the fifth group of the main set. (1/2)

Four miles. Standard easy run but muscle limited from the weekend so ow.So something happened this morning that's both mundane and illustrative. I got a rock in my shoe. It happens. But I couldn't move it away and it was a problem. So I had to stop. (1/4)

Traditional weekly selfie as my coach requested. Today was a timed run with increasing HR caps as I went. This is obviously a race simulation so I ran it as such. I pushed incredibly hard at the end, not quite reaching that sign I wanted to but I got within a couple hundred

Lots going on today. First, it was an amazing run. Billed as easy, but with a very wide pace goal rather than the usual heart rate cap, I just let my legs figure it out and was shocked to find myself running a flat 9 with very little effort. It became harder as I went but

Awooooo! I got smart this morning and wore my base layer bottoms so no more frozen wolf delicate bits walking in after my run. Erf. This morning felt great. Got some good rest and I could hold a solid 9:15 shading to 9:30 the full 6 miles and stay under the HR cap. Nice.

All this thick fur is finally good for something. More wolf! [18+] !links www.twitch.tv/primrose_wolf

Not as great light but it was cloudy, early, and cold. Today was very hard. Intervals are always difficult but these were 3 minutes each at a flat 8, times 5. Am I some superwolf who could just power through it anyway? Oh hell no. (1/2)

Back from eating WAY too much. Time to pump your fur up! More wolf! [18+] !links www.twitch.tv/primrose_wolf

Every time I do these Master's Swim trainings, I learn so much. The concept of having buckets full of water roped to a belt you wear while swimming is something I never imagined until I saw it today. I did the first diving start I've ever done today. (1/3)

A smartwatch isn't a very precise heart rate instrument. This has happened a couple times before where it was too loose or just not reading very well so my HR would be stuck low and I'd end up going super hard to try and make the range. Today, (1/3)

With the Thanksgiving holiday now complete, it's time to get serious about my training again. Today was no exception. Five miles with each mile faster than the last, culminating in a flat eight pace, which isn't my fastest but is a lot after four miles before. I traveled

Last day in Chelmsford, Mass. I've seen that carving before but didn't really pay attention until this morning. I'm still sick but went anyway. I'm bad at listening to my body. I'm glad I did, feeling much better after. I suppose I should stop being shocked that I can

I didn't actually know about the tradition of Turkey Trots until this year. It seems a ton of people run a 5K race Thanksgiving day here in the US. I didn't sign up for any races, despite a few being close to where I'm spending the holiday. And I'm glad I didn't. I'm still

There's a lot of trees here. My canid self keeps thinking that's going to take a while to pee on all of them. Felt good again today. 4.5 miles. And something really has changed with the strides. 20 seconds though they may have been today, times five, it was still amazing to

So one wolf selfie, since it's technically the end of the week but this wasn't a long one. And a couple actually good shots of the fall colors here in Massachusetts. I'm rough as hell after the long plane flights and lots of sitting yesterday but there's only one way to loosen

To absolutely no one's surprise. The questions felt hesitant and too tentative to me. Being informed of the concept of compersion last March had a very dramatic effect on my life. I have 7 partners now and many furs I love besides. Jealousy is a shackle.

Great picture today. I'm back to the first boardwalk, even on a 35 minute recovery run. Everything felt really good this morning. I kept hitting the HR cap again and I wasn't ready to be done when time ran out. 3.5 miles.
