Almost stepped on a pair of ground hogs


Right around mile 3 I nearly stepped on a pair of ground hogs in the grass. They were really cute. Decided not to continue on the Cross County Trail, as it was really muddy and slick north of the W&OD.

I love this trail

Good run today. I got mud on my legs while dodging puddles, a stream that wasn’t there yesterday, downed trees, a dog, and a ferocious turtle. Next time I run that way I’m going to need bug spray, though.

Today’s Run - Cross Country Trail and Loop

Goal: To run from here, around Lake Fairfax, and back — and without my feet bleeding.

Some running routes

I haven’t posted in a while, and I blame that on a)Lunarpages having lousy shared servers and b)the Wordpress Postie plugin being a real CPU hog for some reason.
So here’s an update on what I’ve been doing:



DC Rollergirls

Forgot my camera, this is the only non-blurry picture I’ve been able to get. My phone just isn’t made to handle this kind of high-intensity action!

Lane Closures

I’m about 90 miles fron Reston so I’m making my last gas and stretch stop. I’m a little behind where I thought I’d be because I had to replace my battery in Rocky Mount. It finally gave up on me and I barely made it out of the Bojangles parking lot in Nashville. I think the DOT is trying to see how many different places they can close a lane along 95/295. I don’t mind though. It’s a beautiful day for riding (windy though) and I don’t think I’ve ever intentionally riden so slow on the Interstate.

Wrapping up

Ok, that’ll be enough. Heading up to Savannah for the night.

Eating cheese fries, watching

Just saw a man, a woman, and a wheelchair on a custom trike and another motorcycle towing a boat; “The Black Pearl”
