too wet to check on berrie so went joggin....30 minutes walkin..100 minutes joggin..whewww..... the most ive ever jogged at one time....just put it in bulldog and enjoyed the ride......people everywhere watchin fireworks...actually challenged a couple 5 year olds to race,but alas,they kicked my ass............theres only one rickto joggin...star slow,and end slow.........very pleasant evenin.......guess my next goal should be to jog for 2 hours...maybe next week....lets see how i recover..lol..............'keep the continue'.
was out for about 75 minutes but spent at least half of that standin still pickin berries...only got about a quart cause some sumbitch had already hit my spot.....lol......might take off in the mornin and find a better location..i'd like to have a gallon or 2 to put in the fridge...........picked a quart and ate about a quart ..lol............'keep the continue'.
65 degrees and humidity 93%......that high humidity slows me down but i've learned to focus on what i can change,not what i cant.......have had about 35 hrs rest..anxious to see if im rested enough to do another 100 minutes,but will be satisfied with 80.......if the legs get tired after 1 hour will just have to rest for two full days........'keep the continue'

Good to see you are OK since you hadn't posted in a while.walked for about an hour around the tom dorman nature preserve today..goin back in the mornin early and hike to the river....if things go right i might just move closer to the water.....hope its not because i just got through readin mark twains,.'life on the mississippi"...lol...... 'keep the continue'
went back to the nature preserve yesterday mornin.....88 minutes of some great hikin......had a canopy of trees that some of 'em you couldnt see to the top.....when i got down to the water (ky river) was a beautiful sight...sides of the river (limestone,palisades, or whatever thy're called) im sure went up to at least 200 feet.....seen schools of ducks,muskrat,otter........i was the only person around and all you could hear was the sounds the wind,water,and animals were makin.......in that area the river is exactly the way it was hundreds of years ago.....i never seen a paper cup,beer can,bag of chips,..a couple of hand carved signs tellin you how to get in and out was the only evidence i seen that a human being had ever been there...nothin but mother nature the way it was meant to be..... there are only two trails in this preserve..the knights ferry,and the palisades...today i took the knights ferry..2mor ill probably check out the palisades......wish i had a little cabin right beside the river...YEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEHA...... while slowly makin my way back up the hill..i began to realize that i didnt want to leave..but was also hungry and thirsty.........luckily i'd brought along a plate of ham,gren beans,boiled eggs, a big red apple and a jug of ice water......after findin a just the right tree stump for a table and havin dinner,all i could think about was........what time am i comin back 2mor............first thing i've got to do 2mor is check out this dump that an old farmer wants to rent to me....primary attraction is you can go across the back fence and its 1/2 mile to the kentucky river..supposed to be straight down a gulley....( he said).......stay tuned............but most importantly.........'keep the continue'
got in 75 minutes of really good hikin in the woods......only bad thing today was i changed caps and it threw me off my game...forgot headband,sweatag,etc......not good...bugged the heck out of me...i sweat really bad and without headband cant keep it out of my eyes,,,,.wont forget it 2mor.......'keep the continue'.
did the same route today as yesterday...buut, sure didnt forget the sweatband and that made a huge difference........the thought came to me this mornin that i've slowly got myself into pretty damd good walkin shape.......instead of slowin down on the hills,i go into attack mode and dont slow down til im on flat ground....when i started out,i did hills because i needed to...now,i actually look forward to the challenge,and do them because i want to......11 years ago i was a chain smoker..(30 + years)..........'keep the continue'
