Just making excuses?

To avoid no runs in two weeks, I went out on Saturday and did a quick 5 miler (lack of time and a persistent cough were making me set a limit). The weather was beautiful, and I was very energized after a great lunch adventure on the cliff facing the Eastport IGA.
Rob with our satchel of provisions from the IGA - purple carrot juice, a mango (which we peeled and sliced with a Metropolitan Museum of Art clip-on badge), and two deelish flatbread sandwiches that I've been craving obsessively ever since) - near the base of the ascent.
Chez G - the home of one of my colleagues. That's her standing beside the car.

On Friday I'd had every intention of running, but plans turned into a hike at Shackford Head, where we saw lots of wildlife tracks and even spied a fisher sunning itself on the rocks below us (we teased it relentlessly by tossing pebbles down, till we felt guilty and decided to leave it alone. Regrettably, I left my camera in the car). More running this week, hopefully. Between work, classes, and band practice with Alice, I'm finding very little time to get them in, but I know that once the weather improves, getting out in the mornings will be less difficult.
