Right on Track -- 11 Weeks

The only obstacle on the railroad track trail that takes me from my condo to Sunset Park is Eastern Avenue. But today it was perfect timing. Just as I got to the busy 6-lane Eastern a train arrived at the crossing, stopping traffic and allowing me to cross the busy street without breaking stride. It was a great 8-mile run as I did a couple of large figure 8 loops around Sunset Park taking in the lake and adjacent trails and even climbing a couple of mini mountains to check out the view. As usual I caused a few large rabbits to scamper away in fear. Work crews were setting up fences for this weekend's Renaissance Festival.

Now that fall is here it's not so hot and I don't have to run so early.

Today marks 11 weeks of grog-free living as I honor the Bicentennial of the Lewis & Clark Expedition with my own Lewis & Clark Abstinence Reenactment. So far, so good. And they said it couldn't be done.

Cooler weather should make it easer to get those extra miles.Dont forget to have easy days as well,with at least one off day a week.
