Running Fun

Still recovering and not taking running too seriously or trying to do all.the.miles.

That being said, I couldn't pass up the chance on Monday to head up to Camden for a few miles in the hills! Our original plan called for us to be driving home Monday afternoon, so I had taken the day off. Sure, I could have gone into work, but that's no fun 😉😆 Instead, I headed north after dropping Sam at camp and got in a lovely 7 mile figure-8 loop up and over Bald and Cameron, enjoying the ocean views on Bald and the sun-kissed, sweet blueberries on Cameron. Felt good and so happy to be out! (7.3 miles)

So many blueberries!

Wednesday morning, I headed out for a run on the cart paths. Saw one deer, one great blue heron, bullfrogs croaking, bright woodlilies blooming and stopped to enjoy a few handfuls of ripe blueberries along the powerlines. (5.1 miles) 


And Friday, after a year+ in the making, I finally got out on the Freeport trails with Peter for a tour! And Ryan was able to join in too. A fun morning exploring Sayles fields and across the street around Highview Road. Cool area with some lovely open fields, boulders, a pond with at least 40 frogs poking their heads out at the water's edge and a maze of trails that no one but a local could know 😀 Always good to run on new-to-me trails, and even better with good company! (6.6 miles)

We forgot a mid-run selfie, so a still-slightly sweaty but happy after-run selfie will have to do! 😃
