7 Miler

Shelburne Farms Running Adventure

1st time running (or visiting for that matter) Shelburne Farms. Beautiful farmland on Lake Champlain. Wore my trail running shoes. Started off fast. Felt slow mid-run. Turned off music at that point, enjoyed the sound of the lake & nature. Worked on relaxing my mind and body.

Bike Path Run

After work run. Felt like stopping at 5 miles / was close to home, but did an extra loop & kept on for the 7 miles I had planned. NZ jet lag gone :) Tried to relax into the pain points.

Home from NZ. Time to run!

Day 2 home from NZ. Dealing w/jet lag. Ran at 3pm… better then yesterday which equaled no run and sleeping til 3pm after arriving home at 1am from long flights. ZGN-AKL-SFO-IAD-BTV. Flying not so kind on the body. Ran for 40 minutes today. Not sure how many miles. Buying one of those fancy watches soon that will calculate pace and miles. Body felt stiff & tired. Took a while for my mind to relax too. Still have sinus pressure in my head and sore ears from air pressure / flying. Ran everyday the 1st week in NZ. Beautiful path by the lake. 2nd week came down with a fever and head cold and stopped running. Felt good to sweat today.

New Friend, New Zealand!

My 1st week in Wanaka, made friends with Emerald. Emerald is a beautiful horse who lives across from Lake Wanaka.
Quite the view she has every day! I'd stop and say hi each time I ran. We snapped a few self portraits... Emerald really hammed it up! :)

Hello New Zealand!

Can get used to training here with views like this!

Location: Queenstown. Morning after the long flight!
