Notes:
- We had such lovely running weather Monday morning and I really savored it, as the heat and humidity just has to be coming our way… right?
- More weather talk – we had nutso fog on Tuesday, Wednesday, and Thursday. It made for super cool views in the city! And in the preserves I run in here. I was worried cars couldn’t see me well on the road though (even with my reflective blinking vest on).
- I had my first outdoor ride on the first day of summer, with Dad! Gosh, its so enjoyable to ride WITH someone, especially Dad!
- And Saturday was my first run/ride with Dad this year. How has it taken this long in to the year?!?! Hopefully we’ll have one or two more before he goes!
Hooray for biking with your dad! (Who has an epic beard, I must say!)
It’s so fun!!!
He does!
Very cool that you got to ride with your dad this weekend! And I love those foggy photos from your Wednesday and Thursday runs. I’m sure the fog can be a pain but it really is pretty.
The fog is so pretty and neat! It really makes you feel like you’re running somewhere completely different!
