Lunch Run

First and only run today.  5K classic lunch run this eve...it was easy!

Night Trail

 Back at it last night after a couple of rest days.  Waited until dark to head out to the back of the property.   Started off with full lighting.  It was needed in the woods but not in the more open areas.  Its tough adjusting from darkish to light conditions.   I decided to do 12 loops,  10 kms.  I was guessing which lap the Solar Patio Lanterns would turn on ,  it was lap 7.    Last couple of  loops were in the dark.   My trails are dark ,  the ground is dark .  Its very clear in the day what is trail and but not so much in the dark.  Slowing it down and paying close attention to the footfalls were the key.    Afterwards I enjoyed a couple of beers lying in the Hammock under my glowing Patio Lanterns watching the Moon Rise.

And again ...

Lots of Ks this week with 2 or 3 days off after today.   Logged another 10.2 K back road run today ,  up the 2nd back down the baseline.

2nd run 3rd day

Took my meal break near the end of my shift tonight and logged another 5K Run at a mostly 5:30 pace.  

Trail Today

Was thinking about repeating Monday and Tuesdays Run but had the brilliant idea to hot the Trail instead.  Logged 12 laps / 10K on my backyard loop.   Toughest part was only having one beer in the Hammock afterwards.. had to go to work at 4pm!  

Again

2nd run 2nd consecutive day of doing so.  Logged a classic 5K run on my late meal break this eve.

Wet and then wild!

10.2k same route as yesterday.  Light rain at first then a downpour .  Haven't ran in that kind of rain since the Dirty Girls 48 in 2012.  Roads turned into rivers and puddles into ponds.   I wasn't overly concerned about lightning cause I wasn't hearing any thunder then with a half K to go it was a flash bang fairly close and moving towards me. Turned on the after burners booted home and made it to the porch for one hell of a flash crack bang some where's around my property.  Lightening is a big threat living on the side of a big ass glacial morain.   Had a blast in the wet it made for a much quicker pace.   The weather has passed so it's time for a cold brew in the hot tub.
