Sunny, Icy, but Thank the Lord..

 ...for dirt and gravel. Fortunately, the town crew dropped loads of gravel on the roads to make for sure footing. I have done variations of my routes to accommodate my need and mood. I headed out later than usual to allow the trucks plenty of time to treat the roads. The sun was bright on this cool and breezy downeast morning.  I start out skeptical, like a caterpillar comfortable in its cocoon— not wanting to peak out. Too comfortable to attempt the workout. But as I get around, I come to life. When I hit the roadsI am so glad to be alive and around. My whole life since getting married and moving has involved travel and lodging. Being alone a lot. The being alone is okay and serves a purpose. I just wished that there was a common direction in my marriage. There is unmistakable and wonderful love. I just pray for that common family direction. I did basically 2 times the 5 k loop plus down and back on the dump road with a few minor variations. Here are the stats— 9.58 in 2:24:19 with an average heart rate of 100 bpm with an elevation gain of 574 feet with an average pace of 15:04 minute per mile at 24 degrees and 76 percent humidity. I found out that I had to find another place to stay since I only had the room for two nights with no vacancy for Wednesday night. So I ended up at the Todd House. I have a beautiful room— just have to traipse through the house to get to it. I am thankful though. Last night in Eastport. Have a blessed day! God is good!
