Running
Thankful for the odd starting point of this run as I found a fun new trail to run. I have mapped all of the “public” trail but looking back I think there is another connection I could have made.
The plan was to just circle the lake but I was feeling good so I found a place to add some miles. It might have been windy out but I will still take this cooler weather running any day of the week.
Decided to get a run in before the day got too far along by doing a tour around Waseca. Really couldn’t beat the weather and I was feeling good.
I guess the sign was actually correct today by saying the Trail was underwater. By the time I ran across the sign and then into this bypass I was of at a path of no return in having to backtrack quite a bit. Normally I would power though and just get my feet soaked but i decided against it today.
Probably not the smartest of decisions running on some of the trails and maybe in general with my bum eye. Not to mention it was hot but it did feel good to get moving again.
After a super late night chatting with some old high school friends I decided to get a short runin. I was shocked at how hot and humid it was already I enjoyed my stroll around a small part of Ames.
Explored some new areas on my run today. After the warmer humid weather lately it was nice to have a cooler overcast morning today.
This run wasn’t going to happen today if it didn’t happen when it did. However, it was already 72°F out with 86% humidity and I am guessing if the sun keeps staying out today it is only going to get worse.
Decided on a whim (or maybe it was by some taunting by someone) to run today. Glad I was able to get lucky and find a break in the all day rain action that I actually didn’t get overly soaked.
Decided to do a little morning Father’s Day run solo that I regretted due to the heat and humidity. The wind was nice but only seemed to feel it when I was head on. Slightly thankful I am not training for anything so nothing mattered or was required of me. Except getting back to our camper. 🥵
Trails with my oldest daughter… Wasn’t the plan today but how could I say no if someone wants to run with me. She did really well on this little route with no complaints and just kept chugging along.
She was picture shy so she covered her face when I turned around to snap this. 📸
Wasn’t the plan to run this sort of a distance as I was thinking something shorter at the hottest time of the day. However, since I was waiting for my son and his friend to finish golfing I had time on my side and honestly I need this time, space, and miles after the last couple of weeks.
With some co-workers in town this week and other activities it might be a struggle to get some runs in. Most likely they are going to be in the evening but at least tonight it wasn’t too hot as the sun went down.
My sleep has been a little out of wack lately so this run probably felt harder than it should have. However, overall not bad for a midday long run.
Decided to run along the York River which want to bad as I found some interesting scenery as well as the Wiggly Bridge. However, once I got into more wooded trails I was wondering why I didn’t run along the ocean again as these wooded trails are like what I can find in Minnesota. 🤷♂️
Run to Nubble Lighthouse this morning. Might have been further than I was planning on running but it was along the ocean the entire way so I can’t really complain.
The cliff walk along the ocean was “closed” but the sign didn’t deter me. There was a couple rough / washed out spots so I had to climb sound but worth the views for some of my run this morning.
This is why the sign was there as you can tell the path is not entirely intact.
Started early today as my running friend I could tell wanted me to help push him the extra distance and I had a hard stop at 11 AM. Granted he created a route that gave us some outs but I knew my role and even though longer than I had run this year he has a race coming up so we got the miles done.
