Hardest thing I've ever done. I know I harp on this a lot. But it changes your mindset, or at least pushes you towards thinking differently when you slip like I do a lot, to tell yourself that you can actually do something that the vast majority of others simply could not.

Forgot my report. Oops. My skills are definitely still the limiting factor on the bike. Neither muscle nor heart rate, which are the two limiters for running. But I'm improving. Using my water bottle while actually moving felt impossible until I just did it. Increased

CHOMP!

The snow vanished instantly on the ground here but it's really pretty up in the mountains around me. Today feels like a failure. Seven mile progressive run, so each mile was faster than the last, with the final before the cooldown damn near flat out. I've held these heart

Stunning sunrise this morning. But I am tired. I have a ton on my mind and slept lousy. But I really didn't want to skip my run so I swapped the hard one for tomorrow's easier run. I felt good out there but I'm woozy now. So probably a good idea to not run out of steam

My neck is much better and wasn't a factor in my breathing either side so it's back in the water for this wolf! The MX guy is going to lose their mind from all the fur in the filter! 2,350 yards today. I didn't go super hard but just kept going. Didn't get all the sets

I didn't really go anywhere this morning. This wasn't a run, really. It was a workout. Here's the deal. Run uphill for 90 seconds almost as hard as you can. Not quite going to drop at the end but close. Then jog back down for two minutes. I did that eight times in a row

My coach wanted hills, so hills she got. Running up something like this is hard enough but running downhill is no joke either. Up is a cardio workout but down is strength. And your legs get used in new and interesting ways trying to not get too fast and end up in the

It's been nearly a year since I was past the second underpass on my trail. It felt good to be finally running a decent distance for a weekend run again. Everything went well. Yes, I'm feeling it after but nothing bad. Fifteen miles today. Forty miles running this week,

@kaibutsupuppy.bsky.social presented this to me last night during our date. He commissioned this piece as a surprise for Valentine's Day. It is difficult for me to adequately express how much I love this dog. Happy Valentine's Day, my great love.

Good morning, everyone! Happy Valentine's Day! Today is not supposed to be something those in a relationship, or several, lord that over everyone else. Nor is it supposed to be a day to feel miserable should one be single.

Just a four mile shakeout run this morning, at an easy pace. But, after yesterday and the accumulated soreness of this big week, it wasn't that easy. I do feel better after but still feeling it.

Back in the pool again today. It's a bit annoying that I'm markedly slower than everyone else but I haven't been doing this for a long time. Still, erf. 2000 yards today. I did a 44 second 50 today.

Last week's cutback seems to have helped a ton. I find myself in the place where I really want to be. Running a 10K every day, at least, and a half marathon or more every weekend. Yes, this morning took time and that last mile took effort to go harder but it was very possible. 6.5 miles today.

I'm still really new to the bike but getting better. I was worried about being up so early, possible rain making things slippery, and just falling down again. But I went anyway. Six miles in 30 minutes. Got up to 22 mph and the wind was a real factor. All the stuff about

Remarkable sky starting out this morning, facing away from the sunrise. This was a big one. 8.5 miles is incredibly long for a weekday run but I really did not want to skip this. The second half was all hard burn. Not 5K crazy but my goal pace of a flat 9. I was a touch

Back at it again. I was sore to start, yes, but it felt good to be serious again. I keep trying to hold that same form and I was mostly a flat 9, shading back to like 9:30 later, until the strides when I managed to consistently hold a flat 7 and even break that on the final

This week was already a cut back week but I had to cut it even more due to how ruined I had been from the trip and last weekend just going too much, too hard. And it really did help. Today felt easy. With lower HR caps, I never had to push hard and eight miles just flew by.

When I become a luchador, I now know what character name I'm using.

I tried the same thing as yesterday this morning and the results were dramatic, to say the least. 2.8 miles at a consistent pace will under a 9 minute mile. Sure, it was a lot of work. My HR cap today was high and I was up against it towards the end but still.

Running is hard. Doing three sports at once is harder! ERF! More wolf! [18+] !links www.twitch.tv/primrose_wolf

2,175 yards in the pool today. More or less. That number makes no sense because the GPS doesn't work indoors and it's going off turns. Which are probably hard to figure out from a watch that's being flung around with great violence all the time. Today was a lot. I'm slow.

No picture today. It never got a chance to focus. Something happened out there this morning. I'm not sure how but I found a form that felt like nothing. I surprised myself to be sub 8 for the last two intervals. Trying to do that for the last mile, it was so easy I got

Today was my first actual bike ride. Not just faffing around for some amount of time, trying to not fall down too badly and die. But actually covering a distance, and trying to not fall down and die. My skills and not HR or certainly the capabilities of my incredibly fast

Lots going on in the pool today. My cap came off in the middle of the lane, taking my goggles with it, which was fun to deal with. I did 300 yards of butterfly, which is probably more than I've done in my life before today. Fast I am not but I'm getting better at at least

Today was remarkably better. I didn't want to go. Woke up far too early. Felt groggy and slow. Still worried about being ruined. But when I finally dragged myself up and went, things were much better. Not completely back, no, but I seem to have turned a corner. 4.5 miles.

I know I take the same photo a lot but it was just gorgeous this morning. I am seriously cooked from this weekend. Today's run was a struggle start to finish. Erf. Four miles.

Long weekend run so selfie, but also location of the bunny that ran across the trail in front of me just before I turned around. Twelve miles is a lot. Twelve miles after a 10K the previous day is a LOT. Erf. There was no way I was going to hold the higher heart rates my

I finished another 10K this morning. Again, within about two minutes of my PR. And I did not push very hard until the very end. This was honestly just another daily run. I'm deep into the build up for my first full marathon back after the injury. But there is something

The older I get, the more I like being a wolf.

I thought I took a picture today but it seems I failed to actually do so. It's difficult to use the phone while running. More sleep helps. Still recovering but I feel so much better. 4.5 miles with strides this morning.

I had the worst jet lag of my life returning from this trip. This seems to be finally breaking and I got nearly 6 hours last night. Not enough but so much better. So, I went hard on this run. This is a close peak for my 10K Saturday. That's not a big race for me but still.

I'm back! And I have pictures! Starting there then VR later. I've missed you all so much! More wolf! [18+] !links www.twitch.tv/primrose_wolf

Back in the pool. 2,075 yards. Lots of fun stuff like sprints halfway with a bucket full of water strapped to my waist by pulleys. And I got a round of applause for pulling a 43 second 50 yard swim at the very end. Feels good.

Ok, I really want Good Boy Mode for the next two months after the disruptions of the holidays and this trip. But that also means being rational. Today's run was slated to be extraordinarily long for a weekday at nearly nine miles. I just don't have enough time for that on a

Two photos today because the sunrise was really pretty when I was starting then got even better when I turned around at the first bridge. This was ostensibly an easy 4 miler but it was not easy. Erf. My legs are a wreck after yesterday and I still cannot really sleep.

It's been nearly a year since I was six miles deep on my bike path. Today was far from ideal. Unable to sleep and still jet lagged, I got all of four hours. But, after some prudent advice, I went anyway and I'm glad I did. The heart rates today were brutal. All considerably

I made it home yesterday. Thanks to the International Date Line, it only took one day, although one that was 48 hours long. Utterly exhausted, I slept for over ten hours then got up late and ran. And, it worked! My paces were slower but I could do the distance fine. Here's

Home now! Exhausted. The International Date Line is so odd and the Pacific Ocean is too big!

I have returned successfully to the United States. The Pacific Ocean is far too big. Now for my next trick, getting home.

After yesterday's long run, I anticipated tonight to be a bit rough but this was bad. My legs felt like lead. I seem to be out of that resource the running in the heat and humidity here expends. I did it but it wasn't pretty. Four miles.

The longest run I'll do in Singapore. My coach set it up to be purposely very easy. One half mile or 800 meters, then one tenth or 160m of walking to rest. Repeat a whopping 16 times. I got very far. Since I'm travelling, I'm posting the map because I got a significant

Lots of images for this one. Easily the most visually spectacular run I've ever done. It took a day to figure out but running in Singapore has one ironclad rule: you go at night. It is not substantially cooler. But the sun isn't blasting down on you. The streets are

I took a bunch of photos today but this one seems emblematic. Fort Canning Park, Singapore. I followed this guy for a good while because I had absolutely no idea where I was going and he did. So, finally back at it after five days, although one of those was lost to the
