Trail run at Clinton. The Lawrence TH have their 100 miler/50 miler/marathon today. It was fun to see the runners out there. The have perfect weather - temp in the 50s with sun.

I'd actually considered doing the marathon a couple of months ago, but the risk of miserable heat changed my mind. I kind of wish I hadn't change my mind. Maybe next year.

Work commute.

We'd planned to bike after work - bike to the arbo and have a picnic as our anniversary dinner. When we made the plan we didn't expect low 50s, clouds, north wind and a few light drops of rain. We skipped the biking but not the picnic. It was nice. It was chilly. It reminded us of our 10th anniversary trip to Iceland.

Fall...the weather not crashing. My hands were cold in the morning and on the way home. It felt great.

Felt normal today. I'm not sure what was wrong with me yesterday.

Trails at Clinton. I listened to a Radio Oringen podcast interview with Gustav Bergman. It was interesting - especially the parts about politics and social issues.

Work commute. I'd planned to do a run but I started feeling off. I took a nap when I got home. After dinner I'm feeling better but still a bit strange.

Work commute. Hot, humid, windy.

MTB on the trails at Clinton. I'm really a klutz, but it is still fun (and I didn't hurt myself).

Jogging the trails at Clinton from the overlook. I carried a map and made a few notes for updating the MTBO version of the map. I struggle with mapping the ride-ability of the trails.

I also managed to hit my head on a tree. There was a large fallen tree over the trail at about head height. I ducked under it, not realizing it was hiding another tree about a foot behind it. I stood up too soon and hit my head on the second tree. It hurt a bit.

Despite recent rain, the trail was in very nice shape.
