AM - travelled to WV to visit Tracy's folks; got food poisoning or a 24 hour stomach bug overnight and was in rough shape in the morning - managed to get 1 mile in to preserve the run streak. 

AM - 6.25 miles on a run along the Ohio River from Moundsville WV up to Glendale.  Good number of deer with antlers out this morning - literally the width of the trail next to them - and they seem to know that they are in a no hunting area - because they have no inclination to run or to even bother stopping their grazing as I passed.   Slightly cooler temperatures than GA but still very humid.  Feeling much better today.  

AM - 6.5 miles in Moundsville WV - ran out 4th street which meanders along Middle Grave Creek in a narrow valley between sets of hills.  I was blessed with extremely favorable weather relative to what it has been in Atlanta for the last month or two - 55 degrees and foggy - and although humid, the temperature difference alone which was about 15 degrees cooler here - made for a gloriously easy and enjoyable run.   This is a country road that is a bypass of sorts to get out of town and connect with Rte 250 and so while it is narrow with no real shoulders - the traffic was pretty light and though not ideal, at times it was non-existent at other times, where the only sounds were my footfalls, the water rushing in the creek over the rocks and the occasional dog barking.  Heading out it is a false flat with a slight incline; coming back it is slightly downhill and by that time fully warmed-up, I was clipping along with easy in the cool air at 7:45 pace.   

AM - 7.5 miles or so from Moundsville to Glen Dale WV.  Ran through town up the extension and along Rte 2 past the hospital and long the creek in Sun Valley and then ran back past where we once had a garage apartment and was a little sad to see that the entire building and surrounding houses had been removed and replaced with a partking lot for the hospital.  Ran back down the trail along the Ohio River.  Cool again this morning and enjoyed a decent pace but not quite as fast as yesterday.  

AM - 6.5 miles in Moundsville - on the 12th Street park perimeter trail - 4 loops and the out and back from my in-laws house.  Slightly warmer today and a bit more humid.  

AM - 6 miles along the Ohio River rail trail from Moundsville WV to Glen Dale looping back through town.  Heading back home early this afternoon.  

AM - 5.5 miles with Dan and Finn on the horse farm roads.  Considerably warmer and humid here in comparison to the weather in WV this past week.
