Training Log Archive: Ricka

Nice course set up in Forest Park. I 'ran' the 4.5K. Warm, low humidity, stopped to walk even on flat a couple times. Read map well, planned ahead, one bobble on #6 (contoured the spur, forgot to cross it early enough). Great day to get out.

Green - Splits

Did lots of other yard work and walking over 4 days in Escanaba - getting ready to well mom's house and 40 acres. Rain most of Monday and early Tuesday. I'd planned to run daily, but usually tired: lack of sleep past week and hours of grass trimming, weed-picking, and rasberry eating :).

On drive to Green bay, stopped along way to jump in Lake Michigan one last time - fun - no eye effect.

With no TV and no Internet at mom's now; not much 'entertainment' around.

Swiming in daylight today - clean up after '40 hike. Not quite as windy. Trying to keep eyes and mouth out of water to mitigate 'allergy'. Seems that I'm the only one 'allergic' to Bay de Noc. For several years, I get red eyes and some tiredness. Less so this week. Perhaps eye drops and Aleve helped; perhaps heavy winds and waves dispersed the 'bad guys'. Having grown up swimming in fresh water lakes, I do let quite a bit of water in mouth.

Fireworks canceled due to rain. Very sad for 1000's lulling in park along Lake Michigan. In rain, as people left for home, 100 still in line for Norm's French Fries - dedication!
