Running the Rails to Trails with Prayer Flags

An upset stomach prevented me from running more than 6.5 miles today at the rails to trails.  It was a great day for running the rtt.  The temperature was an almost perfect 71 degrees with humidity at 68%.  There was a nice cool breeze that brought a pleasant smell of salty air from the...

A Long Run in Thunderbolt

Yesterday, I was finally able to do a decent long run.  I ran 14.22 miles.  The weather was nice and I felt good during the entire run.  At the end of the day, though, the ball of my left ankle began to ache some.  The ache actually begins at the top of the ball...

Running to Forget

Today, I ran without timing nor mapping the run.  I started the run from the front of my house and ran around my neighborhood and through the dairy farm where I came upon a Silverado Truck stuck in the mud on the narrow pathway, just short of the prayer flag project. How that truck...

A Very Short Run, a Storm and the Dairy Farm

Thursday went by way too fast.  I had hoped for a 12 mile run but instead had a very short 3.5 mile run.  I had taken the day off from work to get a lot of things taken care of for my visiting family.  You see, my brother, Sam, is getting married this weekend...

Sunday Run at the Cemeteries

I ran 6.2 miles through Bonaventure and Greenwich cemeteries on this beautiful, cool Sunday afternoon.  As has been the case this past week, I was again a little stiff and clunky for the first few miles.  By the time I began to loosen up and fall into my groove the burps and other noises...

Running and Other Important Things

I did not run on Wednesday but I did go to the gym and worked out my legs by doing 3 sets of lunges.  Lunges totally work out my legs, leaving them burning at the end of each set. Yesterday after work I squeezed in a 4.93 mile around the neighborhood.  I felt a...

Running in the cold with Mr. Gypsy

This evening after work and before it got dark I got into my winter running attire, leashed my trusty four-legged companion, jumped in the car and drove 1/3 of a mile up the street to the dairy farm where Mr. Gypsy and I ran two very cold miles. We ran to the prayer flags, ...
