Weekly check-in

[yvi]

It's Monday! How did your last running week go? What are you planning for next?

And a question: do you listen to anything while you are running? Music, podcasts, audiobooks?

Let's see... if you count last Sunday in, which for the sake of argument I will, I ran the second longest distance I ever ran in one go, on the last sunny day we had here: 18.7K!

After that, I've been taking it slow, with just one more 5K interval run and a swim. And, if you will, a bike ride downtown to the archaeological museum. I didn't count it as a workout since the purpose was simply to go to the museum, but I suppose three years ago a 21K round trip bike ride would have been huge for me whereas now it serves as an excuse to skip a run.

Ths week don't anticipate any running to be honest - the snow's slushy today and will most likely freeze over for the rest of the week. If my road route is passable, I might head out for a shortish run tomorrow, but other than that I'll probably switch to swimming to get me through the really cold weeks. Which also helps with actually getting better at swimming ;)

As for listening, I've really taken a shine to my iPod's radio function, and have been listening to talk radio (mostly Deutschlandfunk - for the Americans among us, that would be the equivalent of NPR) during all my runs. Their music selection on Sunday afternoons is quite eclectic too - easily matching what's on the rest of my iPod. Which is saying something! XD
