A new long route

A new long route today. A beautiful Spring day. I went out to Ogletree to the end, then up Moore's Mill to Samford and back via Gay St. I put together a playlist of some stuff plus a lot of slack key guitar (which I'm trying to learn how to play), then ran out of tunes and decided to add Meat Puppets II to my playlist. Sweet.

Quota for March!

I've been in the swing of things and managed to hit my monthly quota over a week early. I went up Whippoorwill (three sets of double letters, I observed as I passed the entrance sign at the top of the big hill). On the way back, I went down Old Wright's Mill, which I thought would have gotten me over 8 miles today, but not quite. Anyway, a good run. Knock on wood, I'm feeling good. The playlist includes a number of songs I'm currently learning to play, including some Hawaiian slack-key guitar. I was also trying to think up a new challenge for my next birthday year. I'm thinking about doing the Music City Half Marathon at the end of April for my third in this year, and for next year: 40 miles/month, with no runs under 4 miles and at least 10 a month? A full marathon (that's 42+ km)? I've got a little time to figure it all out.
