With a semi-slack weekend partially filled with watching horrible International Friendly football matches that are leading up to a World Cup that 99% of all footy fans (including myself) know is, for the most part, a corrupt, US-based shit show on nearly every possible level (economic, human rights, environmental, meteorological, basic human decency, etc.) I was happy to be back on the trails this morning and far away from anything relating to the USA or FIFA. #lovefootballhateFIFA
Weeks and Souls
On Friday, I got out on the trails by 6:45 AM for a 6.23-mile lumber. It was the perfect way to meet my 30 (miles) in 5 (weekdays) goal and finish the week with 30.54 miles.
It was one of my better weeks on the trail, both physically and mentally— I needed that!
Squeezing Words In
The week of lumbering continues to progress nicely, with a nugget’s hair over 24 miles in my feetz after this morning, along with some OK-ish pics; nothing great, but some nice critter memories.
Weekend Creeps & A Lumber
The weekend was a pretty good one with Ma Nature hitting the Summer Button and treating us to temps in the low 70s and brilliant sunshine all weekend—Twas loved.
Lumbers, A Ride, & Good News
This week started sort of crap, with one day of slack (Monday), and one day of opting not to lumber due to a bit of mental (I had brain poo) and creative burnout. Then, come Wednesday and Thursday, I was back in the woods for some miles.
Not a Lost Weekend, But
The weather over the weekend was pretty crap: dark, grey, rainy, and quite cool for the unofficial kickoff of summer, unlike today, which is sunny and 75˚.
With Wifey somewhere in Ohio (I don’t really know, I think near some big lake… Lake Winnipesaukee or something like that), and B at his girlfriend’s parents’ for the holiday, I was left alone with Lola (the dog) for the weekend.
30 Done, Let’s Weekend!
I pretty much needed 7 miles in my feetz today to meet my 30 in 5 goal, and to be honest, I really didn’t think I had seven in me today— until I did.
Shenanigans & Mischief
It’s been a good week of lumbering so far, with 23+ miles in four days so far, and a decent amount of pixels captured.
Semi-Happy Enough
Now, where was I?
I finished off a lackluster week of lumbering with 26.48 miles in my feetz, missing out on my goal of 30. Having said that, I also did a short 6-mile mountain bike ride, so I DID end up with over 30 miles of doing stuff. So, I guess that’s something to be semi-happy about.
Double Helpings
Sometimes a week can be OK, even if it really hasn’t gone well.
The week started off well enough; Monday and Tuesday’s lumbers were good, and my stitches are healing nicely, with my skin being more irritated and painful from the bandages that were on than the actual incision. So, I was relatively blindsided by how much Wednesday and part of Thursday sucked.
