Running
Wasnβt sure what to expect with the loose route I put together but it turned out to be a good run thanks to a map and running friend that knew better than I. The quick elevation gain in the first half mile was a shock to the system but then all was well and we went longer than planned.
Felt really good on this run today after a slow start trying to get through this muddy trail that didnβt seem to end. I also hit up another section of this trail and went off the trail to do a little searching for things.
Decided to get this run in very early today. It was actually 50Β°F this morning which to some might seem cold but it was great and glad to extend it as I had some time and wanted to get a longer run in.
This was kind of a last min decision to go on a run today as the plan was tomorrow. However, plans changed and so did the route. It came together in my mind as I needed to capture so other pictures missed last week. I still would have love a picture on the top of the ridge catching that sunset.
If anyone knows anyone who live on the West side of Ridge Road I just want to walk to the back cliff and look over the edge at sunsetβ¦ once π
New little road that gave me a good look at Christmas lake and I didnβt trespass.
Looking over Highway 7 back to where I found myself a week ago.
Maybe a sidewalk but I guess better than running on Highway 7.
Decided to get this run after dinner and try to catch a sunset as well as hoping it would be cooler out. I think 1/3 went well for me as the sunset was nice, was still warm and waiting till after dinner didnβt sit well. Oh well, I do like the view so I will just remember that.
Not going to lie⦠This run felt stifling as the DewMe.app says. I had a plan I stuck with it but honestly consider bailing more than one time.
The plan was to do this earlier in the morning but needed to help get a kid moving to work. However, might have been for the best as I maybe avoided more of the rain but I still did get rained on during this run.
Decided to get out of the house this morning for short run while waiting for the oldest to wake up so we can figure the day out.
Even with the rain last night today’s long run was a humid one but it didn’t stop me and I just kept pushing along. I did a route I have mostly done in the past and this time I ran across a historical marker that honestly I am not sure who will ever find it unless you knew it was there.
Was able to squeeze this run in and added an extra bit as I had the time and was feeling good. Glad to get out as the weather wasnβt too bad and you could smell the rain in the air.
I might not have drank enough water before setting out on this mid day run today. When I got home I was not feeling tiptop for sure. Granted after cooling down I felt better but maybe I shouldn’t have gone out when I did or if anything as far. π€·ββοΈ
Felt good to get this longer run to start the week off in knowing mid week is going to be a challenge to find the time. Explored some new areas on this run and connected other places up.
After eating way too much food last night I really needed to get out for a run today to just move after not doing much yesterday as well. With the food, lack of good sleep last night, and heat today made this short run feel miserable.
Glad to have gotten this longer run in today and I was able to add a mile longer than last week which was good. However, by the time I got done I was drenched due to the humidity and heat. The only saving grace was that it was overcast and not full sun. π₯΅
Wanted to get a couple of miles in today and probably picked a real bad time as mid day it was warm out. π₯΅
I was on the fence about doing this run in the morning vs holding off to do it later today. It wasn’t to bad out today and somehow there was a rainbow out this morning. Maybe good sign for the day? π
Great way to start off a new week is to get some miles in before really hitting work hard today. The weather was OK, but I could tell there is still smoke in the air and it was very humid. It did rain a little bit and I think that helped things but who knows it was still pretty humid out.
Was able to get a longer run in this morning and in fact my son was going to join me for 3 of these miles but I got a text at 1 AM with him bailing. That is ok, I still kept with my own plan and the weather was not to bad out. Also, glad to hit double digits again.
Not sure if it was because of all the smoke in the air today or because it was a long day or maybe the last two days with longer runs. However, this run felt like more work than it should have for being short. I actually had thought of going a little longer but decided against it.
Yes that is smoke in the air, not fog… πΆβπ«οΈ
