About 30 minutes on the jogging track of a cruise ship in the Pacific Ocean. Heavy swells made for some good uphill running at times. Adam and I both managed to stay on board :)

Early morning is the absolute best time to be awake on a cruise ship. The sea is beautiful, the air is clear, and absolutely everyone else is asleep.

It's fun running on the top of the boat as we pull into port. It gives a unique perspective of a new place allows my body to get moving before we head out to explore.

Last day. I was literally the only one on the track this morning as we pulled back into Long Beach. This was probably good thing because an early morning rain left everything soaked and things were a little slippery. I guess I could have gone down to the gym and used a treadmill, but it would have been a tragedy to miss out on an opportunity to breathe the fresh sea air just after a rain shower. A passing seagull even dropped an empty clam shell right in the middle of the track. I'll miss my goal mileage for the second week in a row, but I'm actually pleased with how much I've been able to do under the circumstances.

Since it's nice and light in the morning now, I decided to run to Brenda's house to meet up for our regular run. Yea for an extra mile! Right achilles is giving me problems in the first mile. Has been for the past week. Today my left foot hurts on the outside too. Darn supination. Maybe I really will buy some new shoes soon. Definitely time to pay attention to my little strength routine again.

Against my will and better judgement, I ran up a hill and into the wind. But I ran.

Once again, I complained a lot. But it was actually fun to run a new route, even if it was exceptionally full of hills and wind and other discomforts. My achilles even behaved themselves, mostly.

I had't run yet and I wanted to see if my fifth grader had successfully pitched her tent for camping day, so I ran past the school field and confirmed that she was, in fact, having a wonderful time.

I developed a nasty cold yesterday, which led to a miserable night filled with excessive nose blowing and an uncomfortably painful dry throat. Most of the time I wasn't sleeping I was planning on the best time to text my running partner in the morning and tell her I wasn't up for a run. I must have fallen asleep at some point though because I woke up to my alarm, feeling marginally better, so I laced up my shoes and met her anyway. It's been an achy, congested sort of day, but I am optimistic about tomorrow.

It rained. But I didn't complain this time and it was actually a really fun run. The Oregon side of me felt pleasantly nostalgic.

Beautiful run around Bridgeport State Park. We didn't see the moose though.

Ran a favorite old route in Chadron, NE. What a beautiful place.
