adventures in plodding...

Easy fiver while watching the Bruins be wholly uncooperative.  On the plus side, it got above 40 degrees today and my Mothers' Day snowman has melted.

My other exciting news:

I expect it to be an utterly unpleasant experience and can't wait!  Hoping to hit 4 hours, or at least be in a position to go out comfortably with the 4 hour group.  10 years is just too long of a break from this marathon sillyness.

Sluggish sixer on the rail trail.  My legs and my lungs seem to be at two different places with respect to fitness, which is always awkward.   Encountered a fellow runner with two dogs in tow, one of which followed me for a considerable distance.  Apparently I was a more entertaining running partner than she was.

Walked 1.5 miles in the state park w/ Andrea.

Nice day out!  Finished the run shirtless for the first time all year (except for Ragnar in Arizona, which hardly counts).  This 2 days after crazy snow which ended up more or less closing Wyoming.  I live in such a funny place.

Slithered down to Utah for some quality time on the BST.  Felt pretty meh; not used to this heat yet and the exposure didn't help.  Pretty as always though.

I'm hoping to work in 1-2 trail runs per week this summer to build up some strength and because trails are generally awesome.  I have pretty convenient access to the Uintas, so I'll probably spend a bunch of time there as well, especially on warmer days.

Quick run along the Hudson in New Jersey.  There appears to be more runners in this area than Wyoming upon preliminary inspection. Good luck/skill to everyone in Ogden today!
