Day 149 – May 28, 2012
Memorial Day! After entertaining about fifteen guests last
night, we enjoyed some down time today with Gary’s
sister and husband who came for a short overnight visit. I got in some miles
before the temps warmed up hotter than the first cup of coffee.
Total – 6 road miles
Day 150 – May 29, 2012
I think I am stuck in a 6-mile rut but that’s what I could
handle (and not well) on a hot (90) and humid day. Ugh. I really don’t do heat
all that well. Thank goodness for a pool to jump into!
Total – 6 road miles
Day 151 – May 30, 2012
It was well worth the six-mile drive to Bedford’s
Falling Creek
Park. I am really tired of running
the same road routes and opted for the narrow, quiet trails in the park. It was
peaceful and shaded, a gentle wind blowing. Lovely “me” time after sending off
my final manuscripts to my publisher.
Total – 7.5 trail miles
Day 152 – May 31, 2012
What a great way to end May. I ran 16 miles of the MMTR to
Hog Camp Gap and then jumped on the AT going south to make a big loop back to
my car. 33 miles in all. I was very pleased with the run/hike expect for the
last 4.1 miles…which were almost all up a big, ‘ol mountain! But I took care of
the calories deficit on the way home with extra crispy fries and a BLT in Big
Island.
Total – 33 gravel, forest road, and trail miles
Day 153 – June 1, 2012
Wow. June already. Time flies. After 33 in the mountains
yesterday, I was pleasantly surprised with my little road run. I even made it
up the two big hills without having to take a break. My quads are a little sore
but not bad (Garmin said I had 11,000 of descent and 10,000+ of climb. I think
that’s too much.) Still, everything worked fine once I started running.
Total – 6 road miles
Day 154 – June 2, 2012
It sure was a beautiful Saturday. So beautiful, in fact,
that all the outside, heavy-duty, manual labor was calling my name all morning
and into the afternoon. I should have known I wouldn’t feel much like running
after that. I feel a little guilty running but four miles when I probably could
have gotten in another long run…if I had been willing to not get any work done.
Decisions. Decisions. Decisions. It’s all about balance and the work side on
out today.
Total – 4 road miles
Day 155 – June 3, 2012
Another beautiful day begged to be enjoyed in so many ways:
A great time at church, a nap in my hammock swaying beneath the fruit-laden
grape-vined trellis, and a run along country roads. Ahh….
Total – 7 road miles
Year-to-date – 1027 miles
