Who was excited to wake up super early today to get their son to school to catch the bus to a cross country meet?
Had some time to kill while the dogs were getting groomed. I quickly looked at a map and decided to run just random streets and trails in the area. Might have been a mistake as I think the heat got to me since I tried to add some speed.
My friend and I decided to use our time wisely tonight running and exploring some trails while our kids were doing a fantasy football draft. It was getting pretty dark by the end of it so I was thankful I tossed in my knuckle lights.
Long weekend and a little oversleep because of the dog made for an interesting run today. However, I can’t complain as I finished the millage I was hoping for but maybe not the route as I needed some outs.
Not one of those super exciting projects this afternoon but I painted this portion of our house. Doing it in some phases and it doesn’t looked like I have done much but I guess to me I know it looks better and fixed some woodpecker holes… 😑😖
It started out and was going to be a 6 mile run, then 7, then 8… Finally got done after hitting 10. Couldn’t complain had great weather and company along this run and we just kept meandering along back trails.
Was thinking with the cooler temps for this mornings run was going to be nice but for some reason I forgot my friend the humidity. Thankfully today I was entertained by the distinguished gentleman of Hemispheric Views.
Thoughts from today’s fun run. I am not sure what is worse the air outside today which was very similar to yesterday but with sun or this body of water.
Don’t mind watching hockey and basking in this cool weather inside as outside it is another story. 🥵
It felt like swimming during my run today with 94% humidity and a 71°F dew point. I think the only saving grace was the clouds were out and not the sun.
Decided to stretch this run out a little longer since the weather was cooler this morning. Not sure how the rest of this week is going to fair out with the current looking temps. Maybe I will have to run inside or run in a river or stream. 🏃♂️
Down in Iowa for a wedding in the country… Figured I would try to fit in… Some have laughed and said nice work and others think I need to correct this before the wedding starts 😏
Early morning trail run before driving to Iowa for the weekend. I will not at all complain about the 50°F weather this morning either.
Well the bees got me again weed eating around the house (Eric - 0 Bees - 3, that is the overall times not the amount they have stung me 😔). However, now I know where they are and it is a big nest in the ground so I can fight back. 🐝
Was a nice morning out today and glad to have gotten this done as I have a full plate of things to get done. However, I think from last nights run to this morning didn’t give me enough recovery as my legs were feeling it today from those hills still. 🏃♂️
Well this run had a lot of interesting hills but fun trails so was well worth it in the end. I am thankful my friend chose this route and we will have to explore some of the area more again. However, how can you beat some of the views from the top or even later the sunset. 🏃♂️

I am not going to lie when I say I like that it is 53°F out this morning. I wish I would have done something but drinking coffee and getting some work done suites me fine right now.
Off and on rainy run today so took some shelter on the trail. The cooler temperatures were appreciated but same end result with being soaked at the end of it… 🤷♂️
First time running with the dog today. He might have had fun for half of it but then I think he was ready to be done. However, in this picture I do feel like he looks happy as he was trotting along. Honestly, he didn’t look like he was working that hard but seems to be tired out even now that it is the afternoon and he has just been sleeping the day away. 🐶
