8r4d Another Sunday #running adventure and a great day for a run… sunshine, no smoke and enthusiasm from the crew. Ten klicks through the trails.

8r4d The blur of my solo morning #running adventure chasing the trails ahead of the rain. Solo today because everyone else will be busy watching hockey later this evening when the usual schedule was posted.

8r4d I have been waging a war out my front door on an ant colony as they wreck havoc upon a beautiful and otherwise-thriving plum tree I’ve been trying to grow in my front yard.

8r4d Antics and #firesmoke abounding at this morning’s #running adventure, short just a few folks who were still recovering from Saturday races. Our new #bridge is coming along nicely tho.

8r4d Thursday #running as the temps climbed back into the high 20s. Mill Creek was crazy busy, too, probably because it’s summer and also there is no hockey game tonight.

8r4d The #firesmoke officially arrived in town and we commemorated by foolishly #running hills. The chosen target was a little steeper than our usual hill course tho, so after just six repeats we had done the equivalent of 10 at our regular locale. My trio of companions are all running an ultra this upcoming weekend so I don’t have much to complain about, even tho this marked day three of a short but sweet streak.

8r4d Ok, I’m not calling two days in a row a streak but I’ve been meaning to ramp up my #running efforts for a few months now and have been failing miserably. I don’t know how long either my motivation or the weather will cooperate, and if the fire smoke rolls in I’m locking myself in the house until it passes, but until then…
