Have you ever had one of those mornings where you start on screech and then everything seems to want to go even faster? That was my morning before I got to run and by the time I got to run, that was the last thing I felt like doing. I had decided to do the Middle Road Loop at an easy pace yesterday, so that … Continue reading Middle Road Fun — August 30, 2021
What I am thinking about this morning? It was one of those gray and overcast mornings, after a night of intermittent rain showers. I was still tired from being woken up at about 2:30 AM by some kind of critter, chittering under the open windows, and then tossing and turning for the three hours. I know that most likely it was just a raccoon, but … Continue reading Something Different – August 29, 2021
I went into Augusta and ran my Cony-Piggery 10K course in Fall-like conditions. It was glorious! I didn’t hurry and ran comfortably most of the run until I got over on Piggery Road, then I picked it up to see if I could better my Strava segment there. It didn’t happen, and I had to visit one of those blue boxes towards the last part … Continue reading A Nice 10K — August 28, 2021
Short Take After all the hemming and hawing about what run I would do this morning, it was decided for me by the driveway work being finished this morning. So, I did an easy run to the Town Office and enjoyed the weather for a change. I did pick it up a little going up the Town Office Hill, but otherwise kept the pace easy. … Continue reading Gotta Be Flexible — August 27, 2021
The Short Version It was hot, humid and with the sun beating down, it made finding a shadier route rather important this morning, so I did Philbrick Laps again. I purposely slowed down and kept my forcing myself to stay slower, to make sure that I didn’t overdo things with the weather conditions. Last night, based on the forecast and what I will be doing … Continue reading Shortened Workout — August 26, 2021
What I am thinking about this morning? The sun is out, it is going to be another hot/humid day, and I am thinking about taking a day off, maybe two. Not because anything in particular is hurting, but more that it is time to cut-back for a bit to let the body catch up to the changes that are happening as I continue to get … Continue reading Another Warm One — August 25, 2021
What I am thinking about this morning? I am still feeling a bit tired, no tired is not the correct term. I would say fatigued, but more so mentally than physically. It has been a long 18 months and a lot of crap has gone down during that time. It seems according to the news media, social media and the powers-that-be that we are always … Continue reading Fatigued & Hot Running — August 24, 2021
What I am thinking about this morning? After watching the news last night and reading some stories online, I am genuinely thankful that Henri, didn’t impact us all that much. Just a bit of rain and lots of clouds so far, although it is supposed to pass through later in the day, it has weakened considerably and isn’t expected to become a problem. It is … Continue reading A Good Run — August 23, 2021
Thinking and Running — August 22, 2021 What I am thinking about this morning? Why do I keep writing on this blog seems to be my big question of the morning? After all, it is a lot of work and time to keep writing posts almost daily. Especially when knowing that by choice, this is and will remain a small, unmonetized blog. The answer is … Continue reading Thinking and Running — August 22, 2021
What am I thinking about this morning? We are waiting to see what path Hurricane Henri will take. It looks like it will brush alongside of where we live, so it will probably not be a direct hit. However, I anticipate losing power for a while since the trees are still all leaved out and the ground is saturated from previous storms. If it floods … Continue reading Yes I Listened for a Change – August 21, 2021
What am I thinking about this morning? After yesterday’s easy, but humid 90% plus run, which I didn’t bother to do a post about, because it was one of those routine, “get it done” runs. Nothing special happened other than I finished looking like I had gone swimming. This morning is one where we got great news yesterday after TheWife’s medical appointment, so I am … Continue reading Strides – August 20, 2021
What am I thinking about this morning? The showers have stopped outside, and the sun is starting to shine, all of which is good. I took a couple of days off from the blog as I was digesting some news we received, and I had to wrap my tiny pea brain around it. I don’t know if I have or not yet, but I am … Continue reading Too Hot/Muggy – Wednesday – August 18, 2021
