early singlet

That was a change of routine for me. I liked it, though. Barefoot first thing in the morning, I did the usual run across the way. Neato.

Great Scott! that's 88.8 miles in August. Seems WAY low for a long month. Oh well. It was a fun month. Big school change and a back injury.

Full moon runner dork club

I think that it would be fun to do a group run under the full moon each month. Who's in? Well just steve and I so far. But it/s going to be the new cool thing. 5 miles other side of the lake. Cloudy, so it could have been a ton brighter. Still good visibility, though.

Dam solo moonlight mile

That was nice. I stopped on the way home and just did one little mile on the trail by the dam. So bright, so beautiful. In fact it gave me an idea...

same-o

filling the quota across the way with a mandatory on miler. Yawn

Dan, Dan

He's our man.
You know how there are good days and bad days? Well, I kinda felt pretty crummy today. just a 12 mile, 2 hour trail outing with the Dan Man. But I had to walk, I was hungry, I was sweating like a pig. Weird. Well, I hope I can hang with him to pace him coming up here.

bare

feet. Singlet across the way at dusk after a light rain. Orange west sky. Real nice.

familia

Love those girls! they went and did 5 laps and then rode 3.5 with me while I ran. The eldest and I threw down a sub 4 min mile at some point. I think she could have beat me, but is too nice. We'll have to work on that...

day off

What? me?
Yup. So I got in a 5.5 miler on the good ole sheep trail.
Solo.

double my pleasure

Dark. Out and back, then around my usual, then back. all close.
Couple o deer scared me good. I think I scared them more.

where's the beef

in my car, then my parents, then my freezer.
lift and twist, never a good idea.
One straight out and back mile in the dark.

two dam miles

On the way home, got in a smooth relaxed evening shirtless 2 miler solo. You know that look you get from fisherman when you're running without a shirt and they're ending their day with their kids? Am I imagining this? I dunno. Nice

Backwards 4 with Steve-O

Bloody nose made me late for our 6:14 am date. But despite my stiff as L back, we trotted out a nice 4 and a quarter or so on the usual roads, but counterclockwise. Nice early morning run with a nice friend. Always playing catch-up.

Then the girls got up and did 5 laps around the church together. Little runners. so cute.

Then Lagoon amusement park which should count as a marathon with these three. I think I fell asleep before the giant zit on my 35 year old head hit the pillow.

Same old difference

Did the out and back onesie solo, no dog, poor fella. It was nice and dark and still really warm.

What a square

...he said. Funny 'cause I ran the same square around the same prairie, but SB1 wasn't here, no, he was too busy Killing the 1/2 marathon. He's fast.
Just as I was finishing the 2nd lap, we got a call-out, so I was done. 2.7 mi. It was hot anyway. And then, and then... Big wildland deal. 7 hrs. I'm tired and I hurt. Waaaah! What a baby. Hey that's not nice. Yah? Well niether is crying like a baby, baby. Wahh!

PS Babies are cool

Same old prairie haze

But solo this time. At dusk. Smokey but still pretty. The marathon mile markers are out there, ready for tomorrow morning. Cool. One point three.

same time, different channel.

Smoke in the air. Shoulda woulda coulda run in the am, but I waited until late and this time switched it to a straightaway out east and back in the dark while the dog hung back.

same old haziness

Smoke in the air. Shoulda woulda coulda run in the am, but I waited until late and pranced around the usual in the dark while the dog hung back.

Timp!!

I love this mountain! I only made it just past emerald lake and back. Eleven miles, 4250 feet. I didn't have time for the last 1000 feet and couple miles. Had to get the kiddies. Mtn goats. Baby mtn goats. And some of my favorite views anywhere.  2:36 moving time I believe. High 70s. Next time I need to bring a friend along. And more food than one banana.

Bring your dog to work day

Just two laps - 2.7. Just sb1 and myself just cruisin' at dusk. Just a couple of guys gettin' it done y'know?

Olympic speed walk

Gorvaheena, or whoever, accompanied SB1 and me on a three lap 4 miler round the homestead. Dusk. Pretty.

Wife. Rain. Record

Kids at Grammy's. Wife and I ran 3 miles, then I did another 4.5 with the express intent to beat frogman's Strava course record on Lindsey. Mission accomplished. 8:30 - 9:30 pm. Rainy. Lovely.

Mtb

I always forget just how much I love flying round a corner or bombing a straightaway until I'm in the moment. Fishman rented a bike and we did a great 9 mile ride - his first mtb ride ever. So much fun. Then at eleven, I went and did the usual dark one miler. Still waiting on parts...

Car troubles?

Needless to say, I didn't get out til pretty late to do the usual one.
See July 28tth

Nah Nah Mah

Do do do do do.
Jefe, SB1 and I went to volunteer with the union at the burn camp. That was after I had to detour and take 2 hrs to drive a 40 min drive to the water park, go down a couple slides and bail on my fam to hit the junk yard.
Needless to say, by the time I got home, I just did the same old one miler while the dog cruised and did his thing.

CMT

Took it sleasy on a 1.3 lapper. Then CMT called, my oldest friend. Miss 'im? Yeah, a bit.

I wanna be fast

Strava is like a video game, but I'm the avatar.
Since Spice is recovering from his fast Jupiter run (nice work!)
I figgered I'd beat his segment of 1.3 miles. Threw down a 6:24 ave with no wind and a beautiful cool evening. Total of 2.7 miles.
Good stuff.

SOO Hot!

drove home and then to the deep south 4 hours later.
So I went out for a 10k in the 90 degree dry heat.
Pulled off an average 7:51 for 6.3 miles. Niet bad in the oven.

camping

Went out a little later even for about twelve minutes. It was at least a mile. And gorgeous.

camping
