I normally run at around 5 a.m. The chances of getting bitten by a vampire at this time are higher than getting a sunburn or a tan.
I run around 6am and sometimes 430am (on my early work day) The desert sun hits hard. I already have tan lines developing 
I’m going to walk the staircase up the CN Tower, in Toronto:
It’s not running exactly, but for me it’s my replacement for running. I’ve been walking the stair machine at the gym. I love it: it’s a great cardio workout and I really work up a sweat. I feel great when I’m done.
The CN Tower is 1,776 steps up from the ground up to the main deck (the large section in the upper middle), and 2,579 steps up from the ground to the SkyPod (the small sphere closer to the top of the tower, another 100 metres up). Today at the gym I was on the stair machine for 29 minutes and walked just more than 1,500 steps.
I will walk up to the SkyPod level. I’m feeling confident: I’m looking forward to this project. I’m going to train in the gym over the summer until I can walk 60 minutes without stopping, and at a reasonable heart rate, one which is sustainable for the whole ascent.
Looks amazing, great feat.
I feel called out already rockin the fit bit tan lol
WOW!!! Congrats!!! What a way to start a Friday!!
Great job!!
Tried week 5 c25k with 3min run intervals. I improved but its still tough. I swear i go farther with my short intervals vs long runs.
Negative splits today yay! Weathers getting warmer idk how much longer i can do 6am runs comfortably
I’m a huge fan of walk/run intervals. That’s generally how I do all my long runs
Happy birthday Jenn! You’re rocking it!
I read that running on heat gives almost the same benefit as running hills. So here we are welcoming summer running. No lie, I’m looking forward to the early morning run in the morning
I can’t imagine how hot it is where you are. I have literally never experienced that level of heat. Mad props to you for figuring out a running routine that works for you there!
Today I did my normal 30 minutes stair climb and normally I listen to audiobooks, but today my mind was spinning, whirling, like desperately holding on and trying not to get shredded away from the Earth and whirled into the stratosphere - I couldn’t listen; I needed silence.
I was just freaking out and I am not sure why. (I suspect it has to do with some of the emotional unpacking I’ve been doing with my counsellor recently. He is good, really good, and I trust him to do this work. Still, the stuff we’re unpacking… it’s like removing land mines. This landscape I thought I knew completely, is webbed with emotional electric charges and explosives, each one connected to stuff I never realized was an issue, and each charge needs to be manually disarmed and removed before new life and new work can happen in that space.)
Anyway - I’m grateful for the stair climb. I can take the next step, and the next step, and the next step, and the next step. Even when my mind is freaking out, the physical is still here.
It was 90F for today’s run. Tomorrow it will be a wonderful 65F when I set out for my early morning run.
I was initially kind of disappointed but I really shouldn’t be. My 3rd best time. I tried going out with the 1:40 pacer but just couldn’t hang with them. The last 3 miles were brutal… it got hot! But, surprisingly, the times weren’t nearly as bad as I thought they were. I felt like I was walking. The mind does some weird things when you’re halfway delirious!
Wow @Gorden great times!!
One foot in-front of the other - in life and runs/stairs!
While I’m sorry you’re experiencing discomfort, I’m glad you have someone who is helping you work through it
Thx Jenn I appreciate it. I’m grateful for that too 
(Edit to add - I just realized I said “thx Jenn” because I thought I was responding to Jenn, but you are not Jenn! I was in a rush when I texted this 
)
