Trails

I drove by the parking lot at the Paint Creek and it was jammed Sat. morning so I continued to Stoney Creek. The bike path around the lake was full and I had trail shoes on so I drove to the ski trails and ran the old Beat the Streets course for 6 miles. The trees were budding so there was little shade except in the pine trees and it was sunny and in the 70's so I went as I pleased - run/walk. I saw daffodils and wild flowers blooming and answered the age old question- if a tree falls in the woods does it make a sound. Yes, I heard a big tree fall. Luckily there was a wind to cool me in the sun. I tripped going downhill on a root and scraped my right forearm. Cleaned up back at the vehicle.
Around 2 in the afternoon a big storm blew thru and knocked out power so I didn't run Sun. as planned. I bought bagels and coffee and stoked up a fire to warm my bride. The power came on around 6:30 pm.
Looking for more miles this week.

Boston

I watched the Boston marathon on my computer while doing some work on Monday and it was an exciting race. My cousin Scott ran it and I could follow his progress during his race. The technology for all this boggles the mind - this wasn't possible a few years ago. Next year is the 100 th anniversary of Fred Cameron winning Boston and all running Camerons should try to make the race in his memory and pride in the Cameron Clan! I would love to go. Scott has identified lots of Camerons at Boston and I think that's cool.

I joined Disco at 9 at the duck pond and we ran 6 on the trail. 48 degrees and wind.
My Granddaughter Alia asked her dad when the next marathon is. She wants to follow me and make sure I don't have a heart attack. I feel fine.

Ran 5 this morning on the Paint Creek Trail. Wind was cold out of the north so I was glad I wore gore tex suit. Warmer on way back with the wind behind me. More people on the trail today.

Ran 5 on the trail with Disco on Sunday. He ran the Final 4 5k Saturday and said they called 5 names for a drawing for tickets to Mondays game and no one was there. #6 got the tickets. It is a winter wonderland today in Michigan.

Ran 5 on the trail this morning. Dianne walked the dog while I ran. Beautiful spring day - 40 and stiff north wind with blue sky. Cold out, warm coming in.
