Yesterday was a relaxing for us. We unpacked some of our boxes, went to the store for a week long list of food items - also purchased Sarah some chow to move over to Bellingham next Tuesday. Bought the dog some food as well. We did those errands that most people due on Saturdays. I also finished the book, "Term Limits" by Vince Flynn. I haven't made up my mind if I liked it or not.
I also went for an hour long run around the Turn Point Loop. From the house I run down the hill over to Argyle and follow that out to Pear Point Road and run around the loop. Pear Point Road turns in to Turn Point Road and I follow that back to town and to home. The lenght of the loop is about 6 miles. Give or take a tenth. It is also the organized run during Fair Week called The Loop.
I love this course. I have run it hundreds of times and I never get tired of it. The scenery is beautiful and traffic normally is slow and light. Great for running. One can see deer, foxes and eagles while running - all so close to town.
My running is doing better. This past week I have met all my running goals. Besides running the Turn Point Loop I also ran out from home, down Argyle to Cattle Point Road and followed that to the end of the secured Air Port property and took the small road up the hill towards the Animal Shelter on Shelter Road. Then I turned right on the access road that follows the security fence around the air port, which is also known as the Clark McAlpine Cross Country Trail. I follow this down past the college and continue along the security fence to where the trail begins a short distance from Spring Street. The Clark McAlpine Cross Country Trail was named after me when I went by that name a few years ago. One of these days they will replace the sign so it reads the Clark Gilbert Cross Country Trail, but there is no hurry. From the house I am guessing this loop is close to 4 miles. When I ran there on Tuesday the Blackberries were just right making for a tasty treat.
Today I am scheduled for a easy 35 minute run. Might need to go get some blackberries.
I am working on my running goals and will post them later.
