37 until milestone



Running:
Now I'm really closing in on that first earth lap. The snap of the page from my run log didn't show very well so I provided a link to the picture also. I'm only 37 miles away from reaching this milestone. By my calculation I will hit this next week. Now I need to figure out when I want to do it. In some ways I'd like to reach it on a weekend day. I have a few favorite runs that I like to do from home, and it would be easier to do something special afterward. On the other hand most of the miles on this journey have been accomplished at work and most of those over the same 5 mile route. It almost seems wrong to not do it there. What it looks like I should have done is sign up for the North Face 50K this weekend. Then I could do it in an exciting way. The race filled up last week though. I still have a few days to figure this out.
Yesterday I got another 5 in during my lunch break on my usual course. It took me 38:33.

Hunting:
One more leg to cut up and I'll be finished processing the deer from last Saturday. So maybe about an hour. I'm already thinking of my next hunts. This weekend I will likely hunt on my wife's bosses property where I have permission. The last couple years I've scored on a big one on this property. It's only a five mile drive from my house to get there. It's definitely one of my favorite places to go.

Gardening:
I keep thinking of all the things I need to get done yet in the yard this year. It's so hard to fit everything into the weekend days though. By the time I get home at night now it's usually dark or to late to start anything at least. May have to think about a day off from work to catch up a bit.

  1. I would vote for your 5 mile favourite routine may be on next Friday so you can celebrate it with family over weekend!

  4. Thanks Dana. 21 years in the making but the end is in sight.

    Rajat, I'll likely hit the milestone on 10/27, 28, or 29 depending what I get done this weekend. The blog is the first place I'll post it up.
