What's round at the beginning, high in the middle, round on the end and hot as !!!!. Ohio! We crawled out of bed for an hour walk jog this morning at 7:00 a.m. and it was 85 degrees and 74% humidity. Despite the temperature I had been looking forward to this morning's walk which was to take place in a forested area I used to frequent as a child. I was about a mile from my house with involved a walk /run through a tall grassy field. Now there are trees where the field once was, and a wood chip trail winds through the new woods to the old woods. We referred to it as "the woods", now it is officially called Sandusky Hollow. It is a very typical midwest woods with it own special charm of decidious trees, poison ivy, grape vines Tarzan would love, and lots of horse and deer flies. I tried out a new hat I had purchased which is supposed to repel insects and it worked. At least from what I could tell from the number of insects buzzing around Mrs. Miller's head and not mine. I wish this trail had been available for running when I was growing up.
This reminds me. Someone has placed some old sofas on Capital's running trail in two places and they need to be removed. The one at the top of the trail should be placed out along side the road on Bush St. The other sofa and cushions should be moved about two hundred feet west to the opening to the parking lot which is now a construction area. I left a lone sofa cushion to mark the spot. Our goal would be to get this garbage to a place where it can be picked up and thrown into a dumpster. It would be nice to return on the 8th find all of this stuff gone. Thanks Captains and Co.
Meanwhile keep running and be smart about it! You guys and gals are awesome!
