Perfect weather for a morning ride! The route was planned around a very specific covered bridge to ride through and a gravel road to ride up. Unintentionally routed myself onto 2 other gravel roads, which was a great treat. Loved the route and enjoyed all of the ride!!

My lungs felt fine, but my legs were blasted from my run yesterday. Also had very little long-term energy on account of the pile of fried chicken that I ate last night.

Run at Myrick. Really nice weather considering the previous few days. My legs were sore, and I felt like I was pushing really hard to keep the pace that I did.

Steady ride. Humid even though inside.

Harder effort that went well.

Run on a one mile loop from home. I really don't like running on roads; every time I do it my soleus' throb for a few days, but I'm hoping I avoided it by being careful with my form.

The point of this was to continue to acclimate to the heat. Threw in some negative splits for fun. A bit disappointed that this speed on flat roads took so much effort.

Early trek at Harmony Hill + Paradise Farms with heavy pack and poles. Could nearly see and smell the pending humidity. Sweaty, tough, but enjoyable.

Ride with Craig at Valley Forge. Main trails were nice - I found an older trail that I may have only ridden once many, many years ago that had some muddy sections but was otherwise in good shape. The swamp trails were also great, but I made a terrible mistake trying to ride the berm around the top. Both of us were covered in hundreds of cuts from the thorns. A very memorable mistake.
