 | Running 3:00:00 [4]** 22 km (8:11 / km) | |
| ahr:147 max:179 |
| K, L and I went on a run (yes, we knew it was 22k before we left). But, stupid us, we only brought a pint (yes, pint) of water for both of us for the whole 3 hours. But, we made it back!
It was a nice loop, up and over Blueberry Mtn (2.2 mils to top) down teh other side, up North South Rd to a fireroad heading behind the hogsback towards Black mtn, down through a logged area (crap) and onto another trail that lead back to the car. Just need to bring more liquid next time.. |

| K and I were goin to go check out a new place in Bradford, VT that we just found out about, but we weren't going to bring Loki, just in case the people that ran the place (apparently they hold mtn bike camps there) didn't want dogs running loose. But, as we were packing up the car, Loki jumped in and wouldn't get out, well, we could get him out, but his puppy eyes won out and we changed our plans so he could come with us. (smart dog, he knows how to make sure that he goes everywhere with us!) So instead of bradford, we headed to Kingdom, where, even though they "strongly discourage" dogs... no one has had any problem with Loki before.
Turned out to be a fantastic day and the rain held off just until we got back to the car! |

| Lost 12-15. I didn't play well, I'm chocking it up to a few things: not playing in several weeks, new socks that apparently are too big and were falling down and allowing my feet to slide around in my cleats, and having a cotton shirt on...i just can't run around in muggy weather in a cotton tshirt...ugh. |

| rest day. Got home and two of our fish died, not HAD died, but really about 15 mins after we got home, one wasn't looking so good and 5 mins later..gone. then half an hour later another..gone. So, we didn't feel like going for a run. and our legs were tired anyway. |

| Running 59:49 [4]11 km (5:26 / km) | |
| ahr:164 max:182 |
| Daniels Rd loop. Nicely rolling roads, mostly gravel. Gorgeous views of farms, old fields, new fields, oreo cows, tan horses, gaggles of geese and some peacocks. barking dogs, wooly forests, buzzing swamps and only two speeding cars. lovely!
(this was kind of a threshold run the entire time, keeping up with Loki and Kristoffer. But, today and the day after I feel good, not sore, feet are holding up and legs are only a little fatigued!) |

| Run/Hike 54:29 [3]4.0 mi (13:37 / mi) | |
| ahr:164 max:182 |
| Loki and I checked out the Blueberry Mountain trail from Lime Kiln Road. Sign at the road said about 2.2 miles to the top, but we drove in about .1 miles to park. Beautiful old range road/trail that someone had surveyed and stuck stupid flat stakes in the middle of the trail with stationing (which made running back DOWN the trail in the dimming light very interesting as they blend in with the leaves covering the trail!!!) But, um, this beautiful old (smooth, not much foot traffic.. at all... so nicely runable) eventually turned into a straight up hike (which was just about the point that I was beginning to doubt that we were even on the right trail and instead just contouring around the whole mountain!) So up we went on this still very unused trail. Nearing the top, the trees got shorter and there was lots of apline vegetation, heathery looking stuff and azaleas, the trail could have been in our backyard with how un used it was! bare ledge and low clouds made me feel like I was up in the presi's!
35 mins up
19 mins down (cruising...even on the flatter sections, felt like I had more than just gravity on my side...strange feeling actually, legs were just moving, powering)
Great run overall! We shall do it again sometime! (hopefully when the view is better.) |
