Well I did another last min registration but not as last minute as last year with hours to spare. This year I did it a day in advance. I am looking forward to going back to The Trout Brook run this year an hopefully the whole race group doesn’t get lost this time.

Another early morning run in the books right after I put the youngest on the bus. I wasn’t sure how this one would feel but felt better the longer I went. Guess that is a good start to the week.

Vivid orange clouds illuminate a tranquil sunrise over a reflective lake, surrounded by silhouetted trees and grassy foreground, creating a serene and picturesque landscape.

By the time I finally left the house I left myself with a very tight timeline to get this run done before the day really started. It felt good and had great scenery today on Ridge Road and around Christmas Lake.

Flags of the United States and United Kingdom wave on a dock, silhouetted against a calm lake at sunset, with trees lining the horizon under a clear sky.

Got this run done right after my youngest got on the bus. It was very cool outside… Dare I say I almost needed a long sleeve when I started but was fine after a little bit.

Sun sets over a calm lake, casting warm orange hues on the water. Wispy clouds scatter across the sky, while trees and grassy areas frame the serene landscape.

Such a nice morning out today but I wished I would have started right after my youngest got on the bus vs 10 min later as I think I missed the morning glow. That is alright today run felt much better than yesterday and I extended some after getting redirected due to sidewalk construction.

Willow trees stand still, framed by marshy vegetation with a gentle pond, at dusk, under a pastel sky transitioning from pink to light purple.

Back on the home turf this week. I think this whole run was a bit of a blur though as I am still fighting either allergies or just a head cold.

Probably didn’t need to get up to run at this hour this morning but I didn’t want to hold my relatives up by sleeping in as I was told we had nothing on today but we should meet for breakfast at 7:45. 😅

Cleared forest with scattered tree stumps and debris; tall, sparse trees surround the area under a clear, early morning sky.

Foggy morning run today as I took to the Back Cove.

Two sailboats float on calm water with scattered buoys, surrounded by a rocky shoreline, under a dense, foggy sky.

Another early morning that I had to get out there as the days have been long at work. Wasn’t sure at the start of this run what was going to happen and figured just some miles would be good but I got in a rhythm and it was nice out this morning.

A calm sea under a cloudy sky with a distant shoreline visible, scattered with small boats on the horizon.

Very early run around Portland keeping it mostly to the streets with lights till the sunrise. Then I took to the harbor view.

Wooden pilings stand still in calm water at sunset, under a vibrant, clear sky. Sailboats and docks line the distant horizon, reflecting softly on the serene surface.

Tour of South Portland today where I ran around three Lighthouses (running on the break wall was interesting to say the least). To add more fun to it on my way to get to the first one I ran through Hobstone and Robinson Woods where my ankles got destroyed from the tree roots and rocks.

A lighthouse stands on rocky cliffs beside crashing ocean waves, with houses and an American flag in the background under a clear blue sky.

A stone pathway extends into the ocean, leading to a small lighthouse. Sailboats and two large vessels float on the water under a clear blue sky.

Created a backing board for our Dartboard that has been in the garage for approximately 5 years. Also, who starts projects at 8pm on the day before they leave for a work trip that leaves at 7:10 the next morning.

Early morning hockey today so I when I dropped the girls off I decided to use the time to make some laps around the nearby lake.

Tried to get this one in earlier today but still left later than planned. I was really hoping to get the rain that the forecast had but nothing and in fact the sun was shining during this run as well.

I have no comment on this run. I put the miles in….. 🥵

Wide dirt path extending into the distance, flanked by dense, tall green trees, casting shadows on the ground under a clear blue sky.

∞

Just my luck that it happened to be full sun when I decided to head out for a run today. It really felt like work today getting these miles in. The DewMe.app gave the run a RunFeel™ of “oppressive 🥵” which I am not going to disagree with.

Dirt path winds through a dense forest of tall trees and thick green underbrush, with sunlight filtering through the leaves.

Wet tracks and trails was the theme of this rambling run while my son and his friends golfed at a nearby course. It was a good way to pass the Saturday morning as I explored a lot of little places I had not been even in very familiar places.

Railroad tracks continue under a graffiti-covered wooden bridge, surrounded by dense green foliage, disappearing into the distance.

Fun run checking out the new hiking trails around Braemar. Not going to lie I liked the old ones better but I am sure over time these might grow on me. However, now they have mowed at least a path connecting the East and West where I normally had to blaze my own trail to the abandoned bridge.

A wooden footbridge spans over a grassy path, surrounded by dense trees and bright yellow flowers, leading towards an open field under a partly cloudy sky.

A narrow dirt path winds through a forest of tall, thin trees, bordered by dense green underbrush on a sloping hill.

Due to me not wanting to cross traffic and at the lights I decided to just create a route on the fly which took me to a place I was 2 years ago in hopes an actual “trail” was there now. No change but just look how the trees are planted… I think they should do something here it would be amazing!

We are going to have a lot of new sidewalks soon on a pretty normal go to running route. It will be nice but today’s run made more challenging as it was more like a trail run.
