A Pair of 8s

Feeling better after a nice mellow weekend complete with some running and a lot of relaxing.

Got out yesterday morning for some road miles around town. Cold and bright, with a lot of frozen puddles on the sidewalks. Listened to Tina Muir's podcast with Billy Yang. Always enjoy listening to him, he has some great insight into running and life. (8.0 miles)

Then it was off to the Y for Sam's first home swim meet. Lots of sitting around and waiting, all of which amounted to about 5 hours spent at the Y for maybe 3 minutes of actual swimming 😂 but it's fun to see her in her element.

This morning, I got up and out early for a run on the trails out in the Cathance. Nice and quiet in the woods, with three deer seen, the crunch of hoar frost underfoot, the rush of the river and what appears to be a new beaver lodge along the opposite bank at the water's edge. (8.0 miles)

Lots of water in the river

Crunch.crunch. 

Ryan headed out shortly after I got back for a run and to meet up with the group that is going to be taking over the majority of the snowshoe series work this winter, so Sam and I were on our own for most of the day. With a cold rain falling, it was a good inside day! After a few hours of lounging around, mindlessly watching TV on the couch, we played some games and then Sam tackled the Lego airplane set. Fun! A good way to wrap up a mellow Sunday. 

Lots of pieces

Finished

With a removable top, and a bathroom too! 😉
