4th - Long 20 miles
Decided to explore a new loop and get in 20-21 on a beautiful Saturday morning. Unfortunately my homemade map failed me and I took a wrong turn heading out. I hit some dry creek beds and gained about 400' in 1 mile. After that it was time to turn around. The 6 mi out back would give me 12 and I could do another 4 out and back to get in the 20 miles. On the way back I took a wrong turn. After a while I knew I was heading too much West when I need to be going North or East. I jumped off the gravel road to look for help out a house. Nobody there and driveway gate was locked. Found another road and prayed for a car or to see someone. I wasn't lost but was out for 3 hours and Cheryl needed me home soon. Finally a car came. They were nice enough to give me a ride back to my car after 19 miles. I was still 4-5 miles from my car and at the pace I was going it would have been a while.
19 miles about 3 hours.
5th - Recovery run of 7 miles in 54 mins.

Hi Ryan - Well made plans can go astray so let us refer to this run as an adventure. Thanks for nice people who come along at a good time - right? As the Eveready rabbit would say - keep on hoppin'. Gram
ReplyDeleteP.S. WRONG - Everready rabbit says, " keeps on goin'. goin, goin, goin" and that is what you do!! Gram
ReplyDeleteYes, the nice people were truly a blessing. And my prayers were answered as I needed them at that time.
