I started out hydrated. Temp was 68. Humidity was low. I carried two, half liters of electrolyte. My pace was about one minute a mile slower than yesterday.

| Running through the Softball and Tennis Complex |
 |
| Running through the Soccer Complex. I watch a bunch of soccer games here and even coached a few. |
 |
| Running north down Smithville Rd. Yup, those are oil wells on the left. |
 |
| Trashy people are everywhere. All they needed to do is call Grampa Ed at 663-8745 or Danny Hector at 663-8996 |
 |
| Disclosure statement: I nicked an apple from this tree yesterday and it was delightful. Probably a MacIntosh seedling. |
 |
| After Picking by Andrew Wyeth....He captured it, didn't he? |
 |
| West down Barnes Hwy. I ran on the north side of the road today and it felt better. Part of the reason is that the Mail Truck wore a path that widened the shoulder giving me a little bit more wiggle room. |

| Gnarly! Sugar Maple limb by Hastay's Nursery |
 |
| One of the many municipal Eaton Rapids boat launches. This one on North River Street. |
 |
| An old stone church. |

| A Buick Commercial. |
 |
| McArthur Park. Looking up-river |
 |
| Another municipal boat launch |
 |
| Finish....12 minutes early so I have enough time to screw around. This church camp abuts the school complex and is a serene and peaceful place. It is an ideal place for my cool-down walk, even though I probably smell like a wart hog's underarm. |
 |
| There are about 50 charming gingerbread cottages like this one. |
 |
| A Cathedral of White Oak. Many campers park beneath these during the peak season. |
I'd like to slop off in that Oak cathedral with a .22 rifle.
ReplyDeleteI will take a squirrel census tomorrow during my run. It looks like a good year for squirrels.
