Friday

 This is the last Friday of Summer Vacation. I’m not complaining— teachers are blessed with summer vacation. It was a beautiful morning. I decided to head out on a route I haven’t used much— the Ridge Loop.  I saw two ladies a bit ahead of me who were speed walking. Yes, I passed them. They forced me to keep my pace going. I did 9.29 miles in 2:28:29 for a 15:59 minute per mile pace with an average heart rate of 170 bpm with an elevation gain of 252 feet at an average cadence of 126 spm at 69 degrees. I had a good visit with my daughter Ericka and my 3 granddaughters yesterday. I also was able to give my daughter Rebekah a ride home after her car broke down. It’s a blessing to be able to be involved in the lives of your family.
