12.2 miles. Tried to keep HR low and that didn't go so well after the first couple of miles. Humidity seems to tank that for me. Held up pretty well until the last 3 miles and it got really tough. Took a few breaks to rest and finally made it. About 71-80 degrees while I was out there. I started at 7:15 and should have started earlier. Done! 41 mile week.
Out there running since dinosaurs roamed the earth
5 sultry sweaty swampy trail miles this morning. Dripping like a faucet when I was done. I want to nap now.
Trails Rock!
Trails are hard!
5.66 Maine miles this morning. A long, slow, but no stop slog up the big hill. Which makes it a successful run no matter what else happens. A beautiful day on the lake. DW took her first kayak paddle in many years to celebrate her new knees and was very excited that she could get onto the new one I got her for anniversary. I occasionally hit it right on gifts.
I liked Holy's response to her boss. I'll have to remember that for next week when we're on vacay. Have to cut this weekend short, since I have a 6am flight to Philly tomorrow morning and I DID NOT want to add an hour and a half to an already early morning.
Don't envy KSA or Spacity's running locations. But at least THEY went out and ran--where's everyone else?
Need a fast half for late fall. Then I need to actually train for it.

Hey folks!
No run for me today, up and early packing and returning the boat and heading home, and then unpacking and time to tend to some chores before the work week begins. Back at it tomorrow.
Life is a headlong rush into the unknown. We can hunker down and hope nothing hits us or we can stand tall, lean into the wind and say, "Bring it on, darlin', and don't be stingy with the jalapenos."

We're heading to mass in a minute so this will be brief.
Noticed someone running in North Royalton! We were at Hinckley metro park in June. Great places to run back home!

...mid 90s here
did 55-min RC at FootBall Fields
guy was mowing
when I showed up,
so
I asked Permission before I used it-
''and since
you're probably Head Coach (he was)
let me say
I know
any FootBall Coach would rather have me
Kidnap his Family than mess with his Practice Fields''
he laughed
and told me to have at it
.............good Running to Ya
..nothing takes the place of persistence.....
Nothing for me today, and I usually have a nagging guilty feeling when I let a morning as nice as this one was go by without being out there running or riding. But then my DW informed me that there was some buttermilk in the fridge that had to be used up soon so, being the breakfast chef around here, I cooked up a batch of buttermilk blueberry pancakes, which we had sitting out on our back patio with pure maple syrup and all the trimmings. No power equipment running, no pool party next door -- just green and quiet except for the birds.
I feel less guilty about shirking now...

Roch, that breakfast sounds wonderful!
I got up at the crack of dawn and met a friend (and a friend of hers) for another long run up to the continental divide trail today. 16.5 miles, with a high point of 13,200 ft! Absolutely gorgeous up there.
I hammered down the trail, passing rocks and trees like they were standing still.
WOW - Carolyn!
A nice calm morning for a 50 mile bike ride around OKC. Humid & 75 at start, still humid & 90 when I finished at 10:30.

Hello everybody!
It was a VERY busy weekend. I managed 6.5 miles, today.
Debbie comes home, tomorrow, after visiting her family up north. Then I get to fill her in on all of Eric's antics while she was gone. I figured it was better to ruin her homecoming than her vacation.
Okay-- gotta go. See ya!

Another weekend slacker's running plans usurped by various weekend distractions including the annual Native Nations Powwow on Saturday with tribal chiefs from Alaska to North Dakota, more watching the sockeye salmon in the viewing windows down at the locks (with an early, much larger, king salmon too), getting all mixed up with Amazon's annual employee party blocking four blocks the way to my local camera store when they set it in the streets instead of at a local park this year followed by the Chinatown Seafair Festival, Japantown's Bon-odori dancing a mile walk up the street, . . . . all good practice for GS's arrival this week in time for Chinatown Parade, zoo, aquarium, Museum of Flight and Space, Science Center, Space Needle, Big Wheel ferris wheel on the waterfront, local skyscrapers, Mariners-Yankees, swimming in as many lakes as possible, . . . and whatever he wants to do for the next two weeks.
