Didn’t realize how fancy my new (old wife’s) phone camera is, need to learn more!
Been taking full advantage of the small window of time I have between work and picking up the kids from school. Running in Worcester where I work is boring, flat, and quite a few people out but it’s miles I guess. I don’t care much for have a small window before I have to be somewhere but it’s a window. Mondays I’m off and usually get in a long trail run of 15-20 miles which is alright. As always, I REALLY need to be doing a speed work day once a week. I know I’d get huge benefit from it, I just don’t do it.
Love the color of the larches in Ribbesford
I’ve officially deferred my Arc of Attrition place until next year. Just wasn’t feeling it, especially with the stress of finding appropriate time to train, although my excitement to race is building again which is good. More and more looking into UTS it’s going to be a beast of a course. Nearly the same vert and distance as UTMB but significantly more technical and who knows what the weather will be like. A significantly smaller scale race and possibly shitty conditions could be very advantageous to me. I’ll hopefully be back in the top 20 where I normally am.
It’s rainbow and mushroom season. See both nearly every day! Still wish I’d take the time to learn the fungi here. It’s everywhere and majority of it is edible. Another interesting thing I saw on a post work run below, a car on fire! I’ve seen one other car fire running and that was probably 10 years ago along the canal. A stolen van had been dumped and they lit it on fire. I had just missed the bad guys as it was very early morning and was fully engulfed in flames.
Off to volunteer at Junior ParkRun. I’m the guy with the cowbell, I annoy your dog and make the kids smile!
