On the treadmill, trying to keep pace with Tara's yearly total.  I'm falling behind.

I left work early enough to have a nice little jaunt up to the BST, to Northern Hills drive, then back home again.  Too much uphill and downhill at a time.  Gasp, wheeze, walk, recover.

The rain earlier in the day cleared the skies, and I was treated to a gorgeous sunset.  All the puddles out by the lake were one fire, glowing bright orange.

It's been busy at work this week.  Hubris took over on Saturday afternoon.  I took an ill-advised 14+ miler to Farmington Pond, via BST.

With three miles to go, I was hurting, but too proud to call for a ride. 

But seeing all the streams with their undiverted, natural flows was great.  Just after a side-by-side went zooming by in a cloud of dust and noise, I was treated to a dog-fight between a couple of red-tails.  Chasing, banking, diving.  The pond was pristine, with ducks, geese, and fishermen. 

Other than a sore butt and mildly disappointing pace, this run had a lot going for it.

Next time I'll remember to take that intermediate step between 8 and 14.
