River Landing 10

Up a bit slowly and creakily this morning, but didn't want to dawdle too long as it was supposed to be another hot one today. We finally made it out the door around 9:30 am for 10 miles through the neighborhood. Made a big loop, with one small additional out-and-back to tack on a few miles. We were going slow enough that we saw a fair amount of wildlife along the way - a Pileated woodpecker, a Grey Tree Frog, one very brilliant Bluebird, a lot of turtles sunning themselves along the ponds, one very large plain-bellied water snake with a red belly and brown top, three Cardinals, and a Great Blue Heron.

My energy wasn't bad today, but my left groin/adductor was very tight - youch! Surprisingly, or perhaps not, I felt better after the run and some stretching. And while not the fastest running this weekend, it was a pretty solid back-to-back "weekend" for me, which I'm very happy with, especially given the past few weeks.

After lunch, we headed up to the pool for a final afternoon swim, and then up to the club for a yummy dinner. Sam got herself all glammed up for the occasion :-) Sparkly sunglasses, sparkly purse, and sparkly shoes. Ha!
