Monday morning so we had a zoom HIIT class with Michelle. There are 24 people in her class and I am happy to see some other faces 3 days a week. Besides eating, the only other thing I did was ride my bike out the road with my dog Ceilidh trotting behind me.
The weather here in Loyalton is nice -- not too warm and a bit breezy. Russ is helping Chuck get his stuff put back into his kitchen. Since most of his kitchen stuff has been sitting in the 2nd bedroom for about a month now, they found a loaf of bread with a tunnel gnawed through it -- apparently mice have re-discovered Chuck's house.
Finished a book -- Little Fires Everywhere -- Celeste Ng and yes, I would recommend it. It definitely got my attention and drew me in right away which is a necessary attribute for me to call a book "good."
Today Cirila came up from Reno and we took a 6 mile walk. The walk was supposed to include Ceilidh (my dog) but when we went to take off she was no where to be found -- little turd. Apparently she had better things to do. She didn't show up back at home for an hour after we left.
I really wanted to take Cirila on the little bike path that leads from the Smithneck Park trailhead out to Pat's Meadow. I somehow was under the impression that we could walk to that trailhead in a reasonable length of time -- like 15 minutes. Well by the time we got to the trailhead, we had walked 3 miles on the road. So we turned around and walked back. All totaled our hike was 6.2 miles. Next time we will drive to the trailhead. Here is a picture of Smithneck Creek which is flowing swiftly right now
This morning on my facebook feed I received a post from a running friend in Uganda asking for children's books, crayons, pencils, etc. It looks like they are also in lockdown. I looked into what it would cost to ship some books to them in Uganda and I think it is about $25 for 4lbs. I thought I might make sure with my local postoffice when I get back to Reno but if anyone is interested in joining in with me on this -- let me know. It takes a village.
Tonight a Zoom meeting with my San Felipe girlfriends at 7 pm so we can toast our new planned dates in October and celebrate Cinco de Mayo!
Tomorrow we will do a little social distancing visiting with some friends who live out here in the valley and then head back to Reno. It has been nice but I am ready for my back porch!
You crack me up for the most part, missy. Glad you are having fun in Loyalton. Re your book mention; I could not get into "Little Fires Everywhere"; I just didn't care for the characters, but then I am not from the midwest. Love your blog and your dedication to RUNNING - JESUS! lol
