Monday - 5 miles.  What a beautiful, perfect morning for a run!  The early bird gets the mailbox.

Tuesday - sleep.  Having trouble falling asleep  & then not getting enough.  

Wednesday - 5 miles.  Another beautiful morning run.  Saw a dead snake and a dead turtle.  Dead Reptile Club.

Thursday - 4 miles in the morning.  Dead squirrel today.

Saturday - 7 miles.  Nothing exciting.

Monday - 6.2 miles.  10K route to the blinking light.  It was a good run.  No one tried to run me off the road- most everyone moved over and gave me some room.  Enjoyed taking in the crops that are growing - corn and soybeans are already planted and growing tall.  This is a photo I took of the wheat on Saturday.  The breeze was blowing through the wheat and making a pretty sound.

3.14 - Pi run. Tuesday

5.06 - Wednesday

Thursday & Friday - rest day.  Graduation.

Saturday - 6 miles.  Party Day

Monday - 4.06 miles.  Most were running.  Went with Wyatt.  Enjoying our time together means that walking lets us talk more.   Then we ate cake.  With diet Dr. Pepper.  Living the dream.

Tuesday - 6 miles.  Ran past the RR tracks, got to say good-bye to my favorite dogs that always ran along their fence with me.

Wed-Thur:  moved.

Fri - Packed 3 car loads of crap, unpacked 6 car loads of household crap and carried it up 3 flights of stairs.  Cross training at it's finest.

Saturday - calves were actually sore from hauling crap all day yesterday.  Back on track with running next Monday.

Monday - 6.33 miles - went exploring around our new apt.  Found a park .89 miles from our place and it has a running trail!  Shady (almost all of it) but super hilly. I hate hills, but they'll be good for me.  I couldn't believe that after moving 350+ miles away, I still end up running into I-95.  At least this trail lets me run under the interstate instead of over, like before.  The trail is 4 miles to a lake.  I'm not in good enough running shape to run all the way to the lake right now.  So that'll be my next big goal.  

I-95 bridge:

 

Tuesday - 6.5 miles.  Went back to the trail to see if the hills were as bad as I remembered.  They were.  I did make it to the old RR bridge today.  Finally got internet working at apt too.

River under RR bridge:

Wednesday - 6 miles.  I ran on the sidewalk down a road that I heard they were building our new library on.  I found the library and wondered if the road would take me to a shopping area.  I was hoping for a Target.  I found neighborhood after neighborhood and a couple of school zones.  All uphill.  I also found the I-95.  This time I was on an overpass above the road instead of underneath it like earlier this week.  The best part of this run was the run back.  90 percent downhill.  Awesome.

Thursday & Friday - Traveling to Venice. 

Friday & Saturday - Walked around Venice.  Wish I would have brought my GPS to see the routes we took and track miles.  It felt like we were walking in circles and went 40 miles.  But totally worth it.
