it’s funny how i still opt to set the alarm for 6AM on saturday morning to go for a run. admittedly, if i wasn’t meeting Jeff & Dana for a long(er) run i would have slept later. that said, we met up in the next town west of my house (Wales) and headed west along the glacial drumlin towards Dousman. as we rolled into downtown Dousman, we were a bit surprised to see that it was overrun with bikers – – the spandex-clad pedal-pushing variety. continuing on our way, we decided to make a 180 and head back to our cars after a little past six miles.
while the pace was pretty relaxed, i was starting to “feel it” past ten miles as (quite honestly) my fitness level isn’t where it should be. regardless, we got back to our cars then improvised a little more distance until we had covered 13.5 miles. without question, a long run with good friends makes time pass much more quickly. that said, before committing for another junket with these guys, i really need to roll myself into better shape.
i wasn’t quite as eager to be an early riser on sunday morning as i had spent saturday afternoon working in the yard. by the late afternoon i got up the motivation to gear up and head out for a constitutional. i opted for another jaunt on the glacial drumlin, this time headed east towards Waukesha. conditions-wise (sunny & sixty degrees) i couldn’t ask for much better as i rolled another seven miles then cooled down by mowing the lawn.
