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!
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.
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.
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.
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.
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.
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.
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.
After Friday morning’s surgery, I skipped lumbering for the rest of the weekend to let my stitches do their thing. So, come Monday, I was pretty eager to get back in the woods, and the woods did not disappoint.
After a subpar week of lumbering last week, I was glad to get back to some normal mileage and picture taking. At least until I couldn’t today.
