And then picking them back up a little bit later..
The usual stumbles and occasional fall. Unlucky once, a very minor fall, caught myself mostly with my hands, but one hand landed right on a dead log and I got speared at the base of my right thumb by a sharp little stub, what was left of a small branch. Rather deep gash. Don't think I did any lasting damage as the thumb still works, but it was bleeding quite profusely until I got it wrapped up.
And overall expended a little more energy that I wished. So there will be very little expended the next three days, and none at all tomorrow.

Note
In the morning, a fine trip up to Hanover for a round of golf with Mike Fritz. Lots of catching up to do, so while we certainly paid enough attention to the golf to finish every hole, the priority was clearly on the conversation. Maybe, as a result, the golf was not so bad. :-)
4 PM
track 24:38 [3] 5.0 km (4:56 / km)
shoes: pegasus #3
Wanted to do a little faster running (but not hard) at the Eaglebrook track, though not quite sure what. Ended up doing 5K, splits were 8:20, 7:45, 7:36, and 57. Just about right.
track 7:14 [3] 1.4 km (5:10 / km)
shoes: pegasus #3
After a short break, just a little more, gently.

Early start for the drive home from DC, with two stops. First was at Arlington National Cemetery to visit the grave of Gail's dad. And then also the graves of her grandfather and grandmother. Beautiful peaceful early morning.
And then to Litchfield, managed to avoid the worst of the traffic. Mom is weaker than ever, though still somewhat alert. Don't think this will go on too much longer, but of course there is no way of knowing. Keeping our fingers crossed that the final journey, relatively smooth so far, will continue that way.
And then finally home. A wonderful trip.

Very nice outing. Snuck onto Ft. Belvoir to do a little tour of the golf course I used to frequent about 45 years ago. Brought back a few good memories. And then snuck back off again. :-)
Having a great time at my reunion.
