Visits with Grandpa Frank include blackberry feasts and tractor rides.
August sunset, and a couple of bucks, over the ridge.
Picking and canning peaches is made easier with friends and other kids to play with. Sixty-five pounds and I need to make another trip!
....oops.
How do you do your speed work? I do all mine on the road, so the Garmin has certainly broadened my options. I no longer have to stick to the places where I have spray-painted the road with 400 and 800 markers :) .
Best wishes to those racing the Eugene Women's half and the Disney half!!
I think Levi likes the tractor. Don't know why I would think that:)
ReplyDeleteI'll take the peaches. I'll trade you plum chutney for those peaches-ha ha!
We have some of the best peaches here in Colorado - crazy since all other fruit here is craptastic, but Palisade peaches are heaven. Will you come over and can some for me?!?! I tried that once and was afrid my kids were going to get botchulism.
ReplyDeleteAww, I miss canning peaches with my grandma. I love that beautiful sunset pic!
ReplyDeleteYou know...I have NEVER done any speedwork anywhere other than a track!..would be intersting to try it on the road...and how did you program that? do you mean in your garmin??? curious.
ReplyDeleteNicole, Yes, the Garmin (I edited that!) . I can email the step by step directions to you, or ....maybe we can figure it out if we see each other in October. :)
ReplyDeleteThanks for your kind words and checking out my blog! I'm glad you did because yours looks pretty awesome as well:)
ReplyDeleteI do have a decent relationship with my Garmin, and it is a must for new routes and my progression runs. I am using it less and less, however-but that's because I'm so Type-A!
Keep up the great training!
Since I have a Garmin I do my speedwork on the trail/path most of the time - better scenery. Your spray paint - funny!
ReplyDeleteI was just starting to think of doing speed work and then heat and Meniere's derailed me. After the Portland half marathon I'm planning on being a very dedicated runner and doing speed work. I think at first I'll start on the track, so I can at least get the feel for it ... but I do have a Garmin as well, so maybe I'll feel comfy and hit the open road after a while!
