Funny how your feet in dreams never touch the earth.

No Mow May/Yo Mow May
28 years ago, when I was 26, I had a hernia operation. I find it remarkable that I have not had to have another one since. I guess they did a good job.

Distance: 2 miles
Duration: 19:54
Pace: 9:56
Route: Burlington Loop
Temperature: 67°
Climate: sunny & warm
Mood: good

Yesterday was a workout. Cutting the grass after "No Mow May" meant serious lifting in my arms, managing the weed whacker for an extended period of time. And I did my regular exercises. I chose to take it easy this morning on my run.

150 - 159 BPM Playlist

Okay, anything below 155 BPM is reserved for cold weather runs, I can't go that slow. I tried, I can't. Also? Caught a branch in my mouth. Ducking one branch, I ate a lower one. That hurt. Trim the branches that hang low over your sidewalks, people.
