Saturday morning I struggled to rise out of bed and contemplated (not) getting one last month of May run in...put on my running attire and convinced myself to do just one "fun run" mile in the neighborhood...once my blood got pumpin' I hung in there to go 4 miles and change...speaking of change, I found a not-so-shiny quarter in the road which I pocketed...also saw a lonesome turtle making its way across one of the side streets...I fell a little over 7 miles short of 100 miles for the month...I could've pushed myself this last week, but didn't...still the most monthly miles for me since last October when I was training for the OBX half-marathon...on to June!
Sunday morning was interesting...the previous afternoon the area was hit with some pretty strong T'Storms...
at home we got a lot of rain and thunder/lightning...the wind was about normal for such storms...
but on the drive to Jug Bay...on the back roads near and leading up to the park...I could see plenty of wind damage to trees with limbs down all over...there were reports of small tornadoes touching down in upper marlboro and it certainly looked like the case in croom...
anyway, I stuck to paved roads and farm roads for 8+ miles...a big limb was blocking the road near the bridge and a tree was down across the goose music hill as well...
in fact some park workers were blocked from delivering a bunch of canoes to the water, calling for help...
wildlife sightings: four turtles...two smaller ones and two huge ones (maybe diamondbacks)...
I easily met my Week 1 mileage goal...it was a good week of running!
