Back to Reality (& Fourth Grade!)

This kid started 4th grade on Tuesday! How does that even happen?!? Time seriously flies, I'm telling you...

What a cutie 😍

Before getting her ready for the day, I headed out into the Cathance for a run. It was 70 degrees at 5:30 am which might be a bit much for early September, but otherwise, it was a nice morning. Saw two deer and enjoyed the sea of cotton sedge and the glowing light out in the Heath. (7.0 miles)


Wednesday morning, I headed out onto Highland Green Road to do some speedwork. Had to use the headlamp for the first half - we are losing light quickly, for sure! Ran out and back and added in 13x 60 seconds on/90 seconds off. It was a nice, cool morning with a gorgeous sunrise and I was happy to feel fairly decent. And yes, I did stop in a few of my 'off's to take photos of the sunrise 😉 Don't judge! 😂😀 (6.0 miles)




This morning, I headed out to Head of Tides around 6:30 am, tacking on a few Mt. Ararat loops at the beginning and a few miles across the street on the sweet little trail network down in the ravine in the middle of the Highlands neighborhood to finish off the run. Lots of bird sightings throughout, including a bald eagle soaring overhead, two grouse, two belted kingfishers, one great blue heron and a barred owl. Beautiful morning, cool but still humid. Legs feeling a bit cranky, so happy to have had an appointment with Dr. Jamie this afternoon to straighten things out! (15.0 miles)
