slacked off from my running schedule this week…weather conditions (torrential rains/floods) and general busy-ness are my excuses…so to make up for some of the missed miles I ran over 12 miles today…another overcast Sunday morning with some periods of rain…although there was a brief sun sighting as well…started sluggishly as I am wont to do, especially since I had a 7-hour day Saturday gardening and landscaping…oh my back!
A mile or two into the run I was warmed up and picked up steam to roll through the rest of the run…average pace was 9:34 or so…ran the scenic road out to Merkle HQ and the Merkle Loop with many side trails along the way to stretch out the mileage…
wildlife sighting: not much today, but saw a tiny turtle crossing the farm road at Merkle…
top tune: The Stones’ “Little T&A”…
I did a lot of see-sawing this week regarding the 10 mile race in Chestertown on the 24th…that’s the big party weekend for us and although the race is on Saturday and the party Sunday, I just fell like there is too much going on to fit the race in this time…maybe next year…so I’ve done a little readjusting to my race schedule and added a 5K and maybe two more trail half-marathons…we’ll see if it can be done!
1000 miles to go check-up
Place: Up four spots to 115
Bunny Miles: -69.7 (lost two miles)
