Dug trenches for edging (no easy task in this terrain). Use of rock bar and humid conditions made this quite a workout. | ||

| Trail 1:05:06 [3] 6.4 mi (10:09 / mi) | |
| Honey Run Trail @ Lake of the Ozarks State Park
Ran from the slabs up the connector to the trail head then back down. Thought I'd get out early and beat the heat (even went shirtless, scary) but the humidity won so I didn't tack on the north loop as I had originally intended. | ||
| Other (Construction) 2:00:00 [1] | |
| Cottage Garden
Mostly arbor stuff. | ||

Lake Perry, Lawrence, KS Mostly roads, a little single track near the end. Flat just before last control. Figured fix and ride was similar to pushing it in so I pushed it in. Humidty was really draining but never felt like I couldn't keep going. | ||

| Pack 35:00 [3] 3.0 mi (11:40 / mi) | |

Ran from the trailhead down the connector to the slabs. All in daylight. Wore a 17 lb pack. | ||
| Pack 57:00 [4] 4.6 mi (12:23 / mi) | |
| Honey Run Trail @ Lake of the Ozarks State Park
From the slabs around the north loop. Mostly dusk to dark (what was that thing that slithered across my path near the end?). Wore a 15 lb pack (left fluids at the slabs). | ||
| Note | |
| July 10, 1996 (aka "The Night of the Copperheads")
That slithering thing (see above) reminded me of the time we were camping on our property here in the Ozarks when one night we stepped outside to enjoy the evening only to find not one, not two, but at least three Copperhead snakes out on patrol. Apparently this time of year just after dusk is prime hunting time. Since the cabin was not snake tight, we left for a motel that night. For reference, refer to this year's MDC Natural Events Calendar, July 18 (the reference is to rattlesnakes but hey, they are both vipers). | ||
| Walk 32:00 [2] 2.0 mi (15:59 / mi) | |
| Anderson Hollow Road in Lake of the Ozarks State Park
Now that it was dark and the going on the trail was slow (and slithery), I opted for the road. Oh, almost forgot, I saw a nice Copperhead crossing the road out on an evening hunt. We were about 4 or so feet apart when we noticed each other (or at least when I noticed him/her). Go figure. | ||
Saturday Jul 12 | ||
| Weight Lifting 30:00 [2] | |
| Bowflex in the Garage
Various upper body reps. | ||
| Note | |
| Sturng 100' of chicken wire above my Mon's existing fence to keep them from flying over and getting eaten by resident vermin (foxes. racoons).
Followed that up with continued task of setting columns for our garden arbor. These two activities added to the days training made for one tired boy. | ||
| Mountain Biking 41:21 [3] 15 km (2:45 / km) | |
| Neighborhood Loop
No added weight and reinflated tire made for a quicker ride. | ||
Friday Jul 11 | ||
| Note | |
| (rest day) | ||
| Note sure I needed it, just happened to be one of those days where time got away from me. | ||
Thursday Jul 10 | ||
| Mountain Biking 50:19 [3] 15 km (3:21 / km) | |
| Neighborhood Loop
Wore a 20 lb pack (rear tire was low so extra resistance added to the effort). | ||
| Walk 30:00 [1] | |
| Behind the mower. | ||
| C • Now this is an elegant entry. 2 | ||

Sunday Jul 6 | ||
| Note | |
| (rest day) | ||
| Surprise Birthday Party for Mother-In-Law
Surprise because it is not until the 31st. Prepared for and entertained family for the day and accommodated overnight guests. | ||
Saturday Jul 5 | ||
| Trail 1:14:38 [3] 7.5 mi (9:57 / mi) | |
| Honey Run Trail @ Lake of the Ozarks State Park
Ran the connector down to the slabs then ran the South loop counterclockwise back to the slabs. High humidy and sloppy west side of the South loop slowed pace enough to burn enough remaining daylight to force a return on the road instead of taking the connector back. All in all, not the most pleasant run. | ||
Friday Jul 4 | ||
| Note | |

| Spent the Fourth with the Family
Went up the hill to one of the humps on the golf course too watch the fireworks display put on by Tan-Tar-A. | ||
