Once in a lifetime

Perfect weather for a jog today. Overcast, mid-60's, no wind. So today I went up and explored beyond the Gay/Woodfield intersection. I ran up Fontaine St, which looked interesting driving by yesterday. It hooked back up with Woodfield, so not too exciting. But then over to Wright's Mill and through Town Creek Park with a loop through the latter. No real theme to the playlist, but fun stuff.

Hard to tell what these splits mean, no two are identical. I guess I can compare the first leg to other days, but not too exciting there.

Africa mix again

I got out again today after a 6 day hiatus. I went out to visit Missoula, Montana, which looks to have some excellent places to go running/hiking/biking/fishing/skiing etc.etc.etc. I didn't run while I was out there, but did go on a couple of hikes, which weren't strenuous at all, but were loads of fun. Today's playlist went back to Africa. Lots of Fela news showing up in the Facebook-o-sphere, so I started with one of his 22 minute opera. This picture is at the turnaround, at the entrance to Chewacla State Park, (which I like to call Chocolate Cake Park, for no real reason), The one below is just before the turnaround, about 1/8 mile.

Most excellent splits, I'm quite happy with that. Faster on leg 4 than leg 1. Statistically identical on 3 and 4. I was able to pick it up a bit on the last hill, which was awesome.

Mobile blogging is back

Oh yeah!

And also, Happy Birthday, BA!

Acca Dacca

Today I felt plucky and up for a bit of a longer run. Up to Woodfield, to the Art Museum, and back. Since I was wearing my AT/GC shirt (pictured), an homage to bio-nerditude and Australia's most celebrated ambassadors, I had an all AC/DC playlist.

Guns

I went for about a 5k today (probably a bit less, given my time), out to Gay and Woodfield and back. It's finally cooled off a bit, though it was a bit warm for the long sleeve shirt I had on. The playlist started out with guns, and that became a theme...

Longer, lighter, better

Another evening run. I definitely need to get into a rhythm, but I had a lighter dinner (after prolonged afternoon snacking, bad bad bad), so I felt ready to go.
All in all, it felt good to be out on the street. That, and the temperatures dropped, so it was quite pleasant.

Heavy Lunch + Heavy Metal

I did get out again, on my actual feet, today. I ate a heavy lunch of beans & rice (& chicken, cheese & salsa), late as usual. But I really wanted to get out and run, at least some part of me that found my socks, shorts, a teeshirt and shoes and covered my body with them. So I knew it would be short, over the hill to the stop sign and back, plus a little extra, though there was nothing kicky about the something extra.

Playlist
Gimme Shelter -the Rolling Stones
Rock and Roll, Pt. 2. -Gary Glitter
Love Me Two Times -the Doors
Shout It Out Loud -KISS

Oh the terrible, terrible sloth

So I've been lazy again. I took a trip to Jackson Hole, WY, and even though I brought my gear I didn't go running. I've been back for a week and haven't gone running. Today I finally got out on a bike ride, to the Shel Toomer Trail and back.
37:22.
I listened to Kanda Bongo Man.
