Fun ride with Jake at French Creek. My first time biking there - so many rocks.

Super light spin to see if some extra movement helps to loosen up some shin splints that I've picked up.

Core workout - pushed myself hard, but still pretty sore from the last few days, especially in the legs.

Tough paddle - great workout.

Hike with Rebekah at Sadsbury Woods Preserve. Really lovely woods, overcast but the rain held off. Not as long as the map indicated it would be.

Fast trek at Harmony Hill. Tough to move that quickly that consistently, but it seems like something that would be worthwhile putting into my rotation, as it feels a good bit different from running.

Ride at Marsh Creek. Absolutely perfect weather this afternoon. The ride started poorly, as my leg was sore from an innocuous fall this morning and my rear tire was not holding air well. As the ride continued my leg felt much better. The tire seemed to get it's act together as well. I ended up really enjoying this.

Worked up the courage for a road ride - chilly morning but headed out towards Marsh Creek with the packraft.

Water levels were steady in the runnable range on the E Branch of the Brandywine. It was below 50 at the start; nice to be on the creek with a little more water. One of my seats was slowly losing air - I had to fill it up ~5 times. I also took an unexpected swim when a vine grabbed my bike seat and tacoed the raft - I was able to clean up the yardsale, including finding my Rootstock hat a few minutes downstream. This was the whole trip that I've been thinking about the past year, from Dorlan Mil to the Brandywine Creek. It was a beautiful trip - I think I might be enjoying paddling!

Windy and tired ride home from Shaw's Bridge Park.

Cool and rainy day. Super blah run on E Branch Brandywine Trail with very little motivation. Was planning on 10, barely made it to 5.
