A trip up the trail that we've built as far as it goes, then a few bounds up the camp road. 1/4 mile, 40m of climb.

Sibling/sibling-in-law run.

Slow. My legs are tired. All running this week (mostly because weather). Will need to roll more.

Cool and cloudy, lake run, started with company, and added a loop.

It was long and I felt slow.

Back up to Maine, not ready for a morning run, and it was muggy and warm all day. Folks were up around 3, and I was on calls until 5, when I told them they should go swimming now since it was going to thump pretty soon. It looked like we might actually be in a gap between thumpers but then a storm formed in said gap in just ten minutes and it poured but also went from 85 to 70 so I took a very muggy but at least cooler run around the lake, came back soaked, and jumped in the lake.

Today was a fun day … kind of.

To close on a refinance I had to get things notarized. Turns out, we can't do an e-notarization out of state, so I wound up driving down to Boston for the day. Oh, and the road was under repair, so I had to have the car up the hill before 8 a.m.

Ran back from that via a trip up the hill. Found a public road with big private road signs, wrote to the town for clarification. Then spent a lot of time in the car.

June goal report, while I wait for the latest downpour to blow through.

- 200 miles of running. I will have made it to 190. Lots of shade and trails, at least.
√ 10km D+. Giddyup
- Bounding: not much, but trail running with poles.
√ 1500 push ups and sit ups. Took a bit of a push EOM.
- Run to InNOut. Never did it, but whatevs.
- Keep up with the last runner standing. 20 miles on a hot week didn't sound fun.
√ Ride a metric century. And not even too much chafing!
√ Mark out and start building a camp running trail. Only built about 50m, but it's coming.

So, this is sort of 50/50, but not that bad for relocating to Maine via Mass. Having my around the block be 9 miles and churning that out in 70 minutes feels great, actually, and some nice trail runs an hour from camp for mornings and evenings.

July ideas:

* 50 hours logged.
* 200 miles again. Some trails and lots of 9ers and maybe some longer daily runs.
* 12k D+, because Maine for the whole month should make that easy.
* More bounding, again.
* 2000 push up and sit ups. That's only 64/day, and I'm up to sets of 25.
* Some sort of long trail run (20 miles or more)
* Ride a century, 'Merica-style
* Finish the camp trail
* Get an old ax handle and some rope and put a pull-up bar on the porch.

Slow loop around the lake today in the dizzly rain.

Apparently FDFs are particularly attracted to blue, and I was wearing blue yesterday.

And less active <72˚, so if it ever stops pouring my low-60s run today should be less-FDF-y.

The FDF thread on Attackpoint is brilliant.

It rained all day yesterday, steadily enough I didn't want to get soaked, but quit around 6, so I went out for an evening jogaroo/around the block which is now 9 miles around the lake. 800m pickups on the other side of the lake felt okay.
