INVASTION OF THE SPIDERS
I've run, cycled, etc. the one-and-a-half mile bridge on the morning commute thousands of times in the last ten years and never seen a spider web between the metal posts holding up the railings that keep me from running of the path into the lake. This morning, after seeing more than just a few at the start, I started counting the rest of the way: 463 separate spider webs!!!. Oddly enough, didn't see any spiders.
.
Leslie - that's an upside, for sure.
another "whew" as I only had to look up one word today, . . . so far. however, don't tell Stumps because TheFreeDictionary indicates it's a woman's small hat/bonnet. Maybe a photo might be in order.

I have very eclectic music tastes, too. Rap is probably the only genre I'm not to keen on. Great listening selections today. Thanks for sharing. As far as running today, 6 easy miles around town.

Ooops.
That pretty much sums up the playoffs for us.

Trails are hard!

Don't hang out enough with Canadians, Tet.
from the Google:
Canadian
a close-fitting knitted hat, often with a tassel or pom-pom on the crown.
However, no pompom for me--too much wind resistance
Need a fast half for late fall. Then I need to actually train for it.
tranps/stumps - thnax.
I guess I have several U.S. versions without the tassel
but, now, the "wool" hat that we used to call them,
probably doesn't work as they're obviously
not all wool anymore.
ps - copy/paste sideways version
of bridge spider web, if it works
but I doubt it.

Hello everybody!
No running to today. I decided to just go every other day until the marathon. It is what it is.
Leslie--it drives me nuts waiting for a doctor to see me. I know they're busy but it seems like every single time it's the same thing...we wait forever. We make our appointments for a certain time--we're there on time--we should be seen on time. I could go on and on about this...but I won't.
Okay--that's about all I've got. See ya!
MikeE, good decision with the every other day until marathon day. Goo luck!
Tetsujin209 interesting spider sights. Any trips to visit GS up north?
3 miles in 85F this afternoon. Gorgeous weather!!!

you guys and gals are all so cool!Cool sunny and windy...whats a gal to do? Run that's what! 3.1 miles, 37 min for a nice little 12:08 m/m. Around the workplace. There are some hills. Is ok...
Trails Rock!
5.2 miles at easy pace, upper 50's felt chilly on the way out with the headwind, but I overheated on the way back with tailwind. So it goes.

Worked through lunch and then it was thundering after work so nothing for me.
