Good Afternoon, FS Warriors! Just thought I'd take a little break and update my journal. Slept in this morning, and didn't run until 8:30 or 9:00. Did something a little different this time. I downloaded the first 5 miles of a west coast marathon to my treadmill; it was supposed to have a bunch of scenery and such as you run. Well, they've promised me that for the two years or so that I've had this treadmill. Hasn't happened yet. I get a satellite image and a little stick figure moves around the map as I progressed through the run. Like watching grass grow! Anyway, the workout was kind of brutal, hills and more hills, up 7% incline, down 3% incline. So, I finished the five miles and ran another 2 miles at a 1% incline for a total of 7 miles. Not a bad run, but a little harder than the EASY long run I was supposed to do today.
Been outside most of the day working on clearing things off the patio so snow removal will be easier later, and also the water will be able to run off a little easier; at least that's the plan. DW made the chili I was going to make, and the Pastor mowed the yard I was going to mow, so that gave me more time to get things done.
Discovered one of the tires was flat on the trailer. The last person to use it brought it back flat, but they probably didn't realize it. I'll give them the benefit of the doubt. That trailer gets a lot of use, but it's got new heavy duty tires on it, and I hated to see a flat. I found what looks like a nail or staple in it, but I'm going to take it to a tire service place and let them fix it. So I took the wheel off and parked it, and told DW not to lend the trailer to anyone until I get the tire back on it. Yes, it will work with three tires, but it won't ride level and it won't handle the load that the trailer is designed to handle.
Got a wiener roast in a little while, and still a lot to do. Hope everyone is enjoying their weekend. Enjoy it while you can. Toodles!
