๐ดโโ๏ธ #BikeRide ๐ First bike ride of the year! Facebook had a memory pop up from 7 years ago of me riding a bike for the first time in 18 years. I guess we had great weather then like today. So I decided to ride thev3.1 miles from home to the fire station for my weekly work detail then ride home in the dark an the @fortwaynetrails Maumee pathway. A shout out to the @newhaveninparks for getting the pathway open so fast after annual flooding. It looked like there had been several downed trees they had to take care of. Please do them a solid and give them a follow! Hopefully tomorrow will be nice and I may get a run in along the pathway. Used some muscles that are sore and going to be sore, but I have my favorite product @bluestopmax to hit them with next few days. Have a bit over a month till my next Half Marathon KEEP HUSTLE GOING ๐ดโโ๏ธ*****๐*****๐*****๐*****๐ดโโ๏ธ #KeepHustleGoing #TuesdayRide #FirefighterFit #FirefighterFitness #wLSBiker #RunGroup #RideToWork #bikelife #Fitover40 #fitover45 #fitat49 #fortwaynefitness #ridethefort #hoosierrunner #FortWayneTrails #MaumeePathway #FirefighterWorkdetail #BlueStopMax (at River Greenway - Maumee Pathway) https://www.instagram.com/p/CbJqkdLMqvU/?utm_medium=tumblr

๐โโ๏ธ #SpringRun ๐โโ๏ธ Today was beautiful 71ยฐ and Sunny, so I went to my favorite spot to run on the @fortwaynetrails the Maumee River greenway that connects Fort Wayne and New Haven. If you are ever in Northeast Indiana this pathway is unlike others as it follows the natural curve of the Maumee river for several miles. It is shaded, but not too shaded. Has plenty of rest areas with a beautiful view. Elevation changes that are not overly challenging and several points to diverge on other routes. I orginally set out to do 5 miles but when I got close to New Haven a call came in for the fire department and I was 7/10 of a mile away so I sprinted and reported on foot to my station and after we were called off I resumed my run and headed back. It was great to get out and clear my head for a while and see all the people enjoying the trail! ๐โโ๏ธ*****๐*****๐โโ๏ธ*****๐*****๐โโ๏ธ #RunTheFort #MaumeeRiver #RunTheTrails #LoveToRun #_LoveRunning #RunRunRun #WLSInsperation #Lifeisgood #NotSoBigPete #SaturdayRun #FireTruck #NHATFD #FitOver40 #FitOver45 #RunnerDude #IndianaRunner #FortWayneTrails #DigDeep #CHASKIUP #NewHavenIndiana #marathontraining #HalfMarathontraining #Allwaysrunning #Havetorun #MayRun #youvsyou (at River Greenway - Maumee Pathway) https://www.instagram.com/p/CASrEK0H7Ai/?igshid=qpuarcura6oh

๐ดโโ๏ธ #SundayRideDay ๐ดโโ๏ธ Today Was Beautiful! I spent all day working on our raised garden, pictures will follow soon, and after getting cleaned up I decided to ride my bike to the fire station for a meeting tonight. I have not went on a long bike ride in what felt like forever. It's great muscle confusion exercise. Always look for something new. ๐ดโโ๏ธ*****๐*****๐ดโโ๏ธ******๐******๐ดโโ๏ธ #MuscleConfusion #BikeRide #sundayBest #KeepingFit #KeepingFitAndHealthy #FormerFatBoy #FormerlyFat #FormerFatPerson #FitnessMotivation #fitnessstruggles #lovebikeriding #MyBikeRide #Runner #LoveToRun #WLSInstacrew #WLS #WLSRide #instafit #FortWayneTrails #bikingoninstagram (at Rivergreen Way) https://www.instagram.com/p/B_wGnXzpcqP/?igshid=1tucsslthnald

๐โโ๏ธ #FebruaryRun ๐ Today was Beautiful in Northeast Indiana. 42ยฐ Sunny and calm. So I decided to run along the best stretch of the @fortwaynetrails the Maumee River Greenway, as the river was finally low and the path was open so I was in my happy place for a great run. After my training is threw with the New Haven Adams Twp Fire department I will be assigned at north station and I figured I would get a guess at the running distance from door to door. Map my run has it as exactly 5K(3.1 miles) so needless to say I won't be responding to calls on foot ๐ with my fasts 5K ever being 23:54. Afterward I went back to central station for some dressing drills with some of the other guys and am comfortably under the 2 minutes I need to be at for the Module A test in Indiana. Not bad for a 47 year old former 450 lbs guy. About a month and I will be running my 1st 1/2 marathon of 2020 and can't wait! ๐*****๐โโ๏ธ*****๐*****๐โโ๏ธ*****๐ #WinterRun #BunkerGear #FortWayneTrails #HalfMarathonPrep #HalfMarathontraining #formerfatboy #RunNewHaven #Runner #NewRunningShoes #IndianaRunner #NHATFD #FireDepartment #fitspo #FitOver40 #FitOver45 #RunnerDude #LoveToRun #_LoveRunning #RunRunRun #WLSInsperation #Lifeisgood #MaumeeRiverGreenway #weightlossinspiration #VolunteerFireFighter #Transformation https://www.instagram.com/p/B844cHpn6Dr/?igshid=1lo8apqyidl28

๐โโ๏ธ๐ดโโ๏ธ #FatherDaughterTime ๐ดโโ๏ธ๐โโ๏ธ Got a nice run along a new section of the @fortwaynetrails I had never run before with my daughter riding her bike. I am still on course for my Ultra in December, but all my recent goals for training got changed for medical, so as long as it's still forward momentum then it's all good!

๐โโ๏ธ #LongRun ๐โโ๏ธ I knocked out a 10.7 mile run the c other day while waiting to get new tire on the truck. We have the advantage of @fortwaynetrails Being all over the area so it's a matter of getting to one and you will have a good run/walk/bike. What stinks is I started passing a kidney stone and BANG the motivation to do anything stopped....I have it under control, but now need to get my legs back under me. * * * #RunTheFort #runmyrace #LoveToRun #_LoveRunning #RunRunRun #WLSInsperation #Lifeisgood #NotSoBigPete #SundayRunning #newtire #WLS #WLSRunner #keepingtheweightoff #fitspo #FitOver40 #FitOver45 #RunnerDude #IndianaRunner #down270 #FortWayneTrails #FormerFatBoy (at Belle Tire) https://www.instagram.com/p/CKJobrzHLVy/?igshid=2o2x9wx222c

๐โโ๏ธ #Running ๐โโ๏ธ I was getting a bit board with running on treadmills and after 5 years am soooooooo over running in my subdivision. With the overwhelming amount of rain the Maumee river is over her banks so running the Maumee river greenway is a no go. So I decided today to just go downtown and put a few miles on the @fortwaynetrails that are woven threw out down town. The light rain and 39ยฐ was not bad at all. It was not till I heading west I realized there was new trails I had not run on so that was a pleasant surprise finding a new path to run. Always keep looking for a new adventure even in your own backyard! ๐โโ๏ธ*****๐โโ๏ธ*****๐โโ๏ธ*****๐โโ๏ธ*****๐โโ๏ธ #TheWannabeRunner #Runner #LoveToRun #_LoveRunning #RunRunRun #WLSInsperation #Lifeisgood #januaryrun #WinterRun #ForyWayneTrails #DowntownRun #FortWayneIndianaRun #FortWayneRun #FortWayneRunning #IndianaRunner #Run #RunFatBoyRun #DuodenalSwitchRunner #WLSBeforeandAfter #weightlosssurgeryjourney #Runintherain #Runningintherain (at Fort Wayne Trails) https://www.instagram.com/p/B7wlzfTn9id/?igshid=oo5anheun8ju
