Turn your rut into a groove.

pm--4 Lower Anasazi w/ Jackson.

pm--6.5 Anasazi w/ LG intro. This week was great for many things, but running wasn't one of them. I finished 2 books--Lewis and Clark through Indian Eyes, a compilation of essays from native authors, and Off Side by Manuel Vazquez Montalban. It was fun to watch NXN today. And one more book, Native North American Spirituality of the Eastern Woodlands.

pm--4 SC area w/ Jackson, scoping out some routes.

pm--6.5 Anasazi w/ some Vine Deloria Jr in the air. I also spotted a neighbor w/ his hawk or falcon.

pm--5.5 Anasazi w/ LG intro after what felt like a longish day of work.

am--7 Rim trails while learning a bit more about the Swearing Elders. Geared down to avoid walking on even the steepest inclines. That's a win.

pm1--4.5 SC Drive w/ Jackson. The first part of runs feel like trash but get better a mile or so down the road. 

pm2--3 To Dixie Drive and back w/ my neighbor. Felt decent. I finished Skinwalkers by Tony Hillerman. It's the book that brings Chee and Leaphorn together. Hillerman is a good cold-weather read.

am--9 Sidewinder and Barrel Roll while listening to a podcast about SUNY-Cortland and Dr. Jack Daniel's.

am--5.5 Pine Valley long road w/ a Lloyd Canyon loop at first. It was a little rocky ugh at first but felt nice by the end. Saw Baggs.

am--4 Bridge route w/ my neighbor. Decent pace and steady heart rate.
