8r4d The first of our #adventurerun #running adventures for 2025 started at the river boat launch and took us up into forest heights and then back down into the river valley. It had rained hard all morning so the trails were a bit mucky. The point of these runs was always to get out of the rut of our regular routes and see some of the great city trails. They are always a success from that perspective.

8r4d I have been waging a war out my front door on an ant colony as they wreck havoc upon a beautiful and otherwise-thriving plum tree I’ve been trying to grow in my front yard.

8r4d Thursday #running as the temps climbed back into the high 20s. Mill Creek was crazy busy, too, probably because it’s summer and also there is no hockey game tonight.

8r4d The #firesmoke officially arrived in town and we commemorated by foolishly #running hills. The chosen target was a little steeper than our usual hill course tho, so after just six repeats we had done the equivalent of 10 at our regular locale. My trio of companions are all running an ultra this upcoming weekend so I don’t have much to complain about, even tho this marked day three of a short but sweet streak.

8r4d Ok, I’m not calling two days in a row a streak but I’ve been meaning to ramp up my #running efforts for a few months now and have been failing miserably. I don’t know how long either my motivation or the weather will cooperate, and if the fire smoke rolls in I’m locking myself in the house until it passes, but until then…

8r4d It’s June. The #running season is in full swing obviously, and the sun was shining for our irregular Sunday meetup. I need to log a few extra miles this month to make up for some poor showings in April and May tho, so starting out with a solid 10k on the first of the month was a good way to kick it off.
