I wasn’t feeling it today, I needed to bike but couldn’t get motivated. After finishing “to dos” at my sister’s I finally packed up and headed to Harbison State Forest, my mind was wondering for most of the ride, but that place never lets me down. What a great ride! On the way over coming over the Lake Murray dam I saw the “locks of love” and the sunset and it made me smile. Always choose love!
Of course being Scottish, I also noticed how expensive some of the locks were ; )
Heading to South Carolina for Christmas v2 and get some stuff for Sam’s apartment, so I stopped Cheraw State Park for a ride.
I decided to get my run in too, so I did an off-road brick.
Morning list…. done, then to work, it was just as busy.
After my run, I hiked back out to play a little on the boulder field.
Music to my ears… all trails are open due to frozen conditions. I wasn’t expecting the middle of the singletrack to be 2 inches deep ice, and some of the high speed turns were sheets of ice, so an interesting ride this morning.
I love these ice crystals that form up from loose soil… the first time I noticed them was at Rumbling Bald a few years ago, and now I look for them.
I swear this look so much cooler on the phone.
Christmas presets!
I went full Christmas for my run… I ran into 2 hunters and they were amused by my outfit ; )
I wouldn’t call it a runner’s high, but had a great run and pushed my distance too.
It was 9 degrees with a wind chill of -7, so I knew I would have the trails to myself. I was able to close 2 fitness rings before I started work.
A trail run in Uwharrie turned into an adventure run, my creek crossing that has stepping stones, but they were under water.
There was this at least
Late night Lobotron tennis and I remembered I didn’t have a POD, so I drove through town looking for something…
A good workout day. 45 minutes of disc golf, the old course at Barber Park… till I found the new course. This is the old #9, but the tee box is the other side of this creek and no way to cross. Then 1.5 hours of singles tennis and that night a visit to Planet Fitness.
Then more live shots, It was fun to do a walking one but had to light the whole scene and be the same through the whole walk
