I jogged on the trails at Rockhaven. This was the first south-shore trail run of the fall season.

No spider webs! That was nice.

The trails have had a lot of horse traffic. The weather has been wet all year, so the trails are chewed up.

The water is still high. It was about even with the first contour (so 5 meters above the mapped level). It looks like the high water mark was almost at the second contour.

MTB on roads/levee/single track. The river trail is open almost entirely. The last loop at Mud Creek is closed.

Fun. I like the new bike.

I got tired at the end. The wind was a bit strong coming home. I had no strength left in my legs.

Jogging around a bit.

The temp was 67F when I left work, 51F when I got home, and 46F when I finished running. That felt good. A few very light sprinkles of rain fell.

I ran two short courses on West Campus.

After running, I got on my MTB and biked around on West Campus until it was getting dark.

Another day off...but I got lots of stuff done. I also went over to Pam's new house. That was nice. It is still empty and she hasn't sold the house on Inverness, but it will be great when she's moved in.

Felt odd when I woke up. After breakfast I took a 20 minute nap. Still felt odd. I'd planned a long run today. I think I'll change the plan and just play it by ear.

I starting feeling better, but still not normal. I went for a walk at Baker Wetlands to get outside and enjoy the day. Nice walk - some light rain and a few minutes of sunshine. When I got home, I took another nap.
