Running
Good shake out after a long Tuesday that felt like a Monday. Still warmer out than I would like as my body is not used to this yet but I slogged it out.
Decided to make a quick run around Clear Lake today. Probably the first of many this year but wow was it warmer than anticipated today.
What a beautiful morning today to go out for a run. Not to mention I stumbled upon a new little trail to explore which was most likely human created but might have been a deer trail that borders the conservation area.
Beautiful day to spend on some of my favorite nearby trails. Typically I just cut through from one side of the conservatory to the other but today I decided to run all of the trails.
Of course I tried to take the deer trail that followed this stream. It was fun while it lasted which was about 100M and then the deer must have went though the water but I stopped and turned around. I preferred my feet to stay dry as I still had a couple more miles to go.
I knew this was going to be work today as I planned on going out at the hottest part of the day and right after lunch. Not sure what got to me more but I slogged it out.
Smoke run… I didn’t notice it today until after the rain left and it seemed hazy but in looking it up it is smoke due to the Canadian fires. Was short for time but explored the rest of the Cardinal Creek Conservation Area.
Has been a busy day but my youngest has a 45 min piano lesson that I took advantage of to get a workout in. Fun seeing some of these trails in the spring vs the fall or winter.
Found some time at the end of the day after kids activities to get out there. Felt like a struggle but I like seeing the green everywhere again.
Fun giving a run on these newer trails around Lake Ann and Lake Lucy. To bad there is an abrupt stop at one end but hopefully that will change in the future.
The end of the narrow gauge train line. Also, last day in Portland so I had to get out there one last time.
Early morning run before a long day of work with some big meetings very late in the afternoon. As early as I got up it is still shocking to me how high the sun was already.
Instead of just running along my normal trails in Portland I rambled around the streets of Portland. Not 100% sure that was a great idea as I found some very quite streets and then ran though about a half mile of a homeless camp.😔
After a long travel adventure and work it was good to get out and move a bit as I have been sitting a lot. I decided to go all around the back cove as I had nothing to get to tonight.
Had to get up earlier than I liked for this one as a friend I was running with had something at 730am. However, I enjoyed showing him some of the trails I have explored and were on his list to get to.
Great weather out today and circled a very familiar trail / marsh. Really can’t beat a sunny 66°F with no clouds in sight.
Found a strange abandoned road (Cirrus Way) that didn’t say no trespassing so I figured I should give it a run. I am very curious why it became unused as it does take you to the Sky (well Sky Lane 😁).
After that I had a lovely time exploring and making my own trails in the woods.
