I know this must be a huge frustration and disappointment, Roxy. is there any estimate for an opening date?
There is a some low ground and a few homesteads at the other side of the river Surfermom, and four massive pumps ready to keep the water out. It’s not so much the river that floods the land, but it’s unable to drain if the river is too high. I suspect the environmental blokes were either going to man the pumps, or post a flood warning if the river got too high.
There was no flood warnings issued, so it must have been the pumps…
We get the robins and starlings, but I’ve not seen any cardinals or pelicans Surfer.
Pheasants, Partridges, Rooks, Swans and Herons are the larger birds I usually come across.
I have in the past seen a large Grey Owl that swooped over my head one morning when I was running in the dark. He must have mistaken me for rodent…:shock:
I can’t wait for the warm summer mornings, and running in daylight. I just want to run forever on such mornings. Good running Surfer, five’s not to be sniffed at…
Nope, nada, nothing. Place is all locked up again. Maybe by the summer and everyone’s had their Covid injection it’ll start up again. My fitness levels have really dive bombed since last March, I often wonder if I’ll be able to get back to where I was.
nope Nada, zilch, nuffink for 4 days now, im turning into a lazy slob this past few days, help.
You do just fine, Roxy. You just have to hope the kids stay our of your lane!
Aw, you can do it, LQ!
Brrr. The wind is whipping off the gulf with a sky as great as my granddad’s hair. I decided to give it a go anyway, but I felt a little like a sail as the gale pushed me relentlessly landward as I made my way parallel to the shore. With eyes watering and feet landing this, that, and the other way, I felt a huge sigh of relief when I finally made it 2.6 miles to the east. Yay!
The only problem was that sudden sinking feeling when I pivoted to see miles ahead of that long empty stretch home.

Brutal but accomplished; 5.25 miles.
Well missing my PT. She only comes to see me once a week but she scares me into doing regular exercise. She keeps reminding me that when I get old I should be able to put my own knickers on. That alone keeps me going. Yesterday I did three miles. Unfortunately my husband came with me and nagged me all the way round. I love him to pieces of course but sometimes I wish he would just shut his mouth!
Cedrnonella, three miles no matter how you get there is a very respectable distance!
Am I correct that your PT isn’t coming around because of the lockdown?
This is the time of year I find myself on the dreadmill putting a few miles artificially behind me when it’s just too wicked to go out. So far, I’ve avoided the thing for the most part!
I walk
[FONT=“Microsoft Sans Serif”][SIZE=“3”]I walk. A lot [/SIZE][/FONT]
I’m doing walks but not with any great enthusiasm. There’s no nice countryside or greenery in my urban area. Never mind, the gym will be open next month, possibly - roll on, happy day! 
Hi, Rusty. Good to know you out there being enthusiastically bipedal!
You keep going, Tachyon. This lockdown can’t last forever! It’s not the lockdowns that are keeping me from outdoor fun, but RAIN for days! I want SUN!
Have a good day doing what you can, everyone!
3 mi walk: Sat, Tue, Thu
30 minute row + post row achilles rolling: Mon, Wed, Fri
Walk schedule gets adjusted if raining.
Would like to get back to lifting regularly.
Nice Weezy. Welcome!
Thanks, surfermom! What region of the US are you in? West coast?
It’s rather cold and damp in my region too. I must be getting enough walking done as my jeans still have room at the waist, which is how I keep an eye on Lockdown Weight. 
Haha, jeans are the best way to measure - even better than a bathroom scale.
I don’t like what mine told me in 2020.
Finally we had a beautiful day today so the running was pure enjoyment with nary a drop of determination needed.
Keep walking, it sounds like it’s working!
I always like to do something extra on a Sunday and following my gout attack I’ve only been running fives and sixes. So this morning I arrived at the fork in the road that pointed to either a six or an eight. With the early morning sun warm on my back and with no sign of any apparent problems, I opted for the eight. I think that all being well, I had decided on the eight yesterday…
I took it nice and steady, and thought that with the advancing years, it’s better to go for distance in favour of speed…I’ve still left enough energy to enjoy the rest of Sunday…
Were back, back to both jobs, look at the steps, 5.5 hours walking.

At pace.
Impressive stuff Spitty, what are we looking at…18 miles?
Probably OGF, the iphone talks kilometres, about 31 of them, so yes 18-19 miles.
I’m always glad that after a lockdown, I can get back to walking long distances at this age.
