I found an itty-bitty cemetery tonight on my run near Ansonia - Kershner Cemetery. I'm not sure but I think there are only six graves. I'm not normally that interested in cemeteries, but I've been parking by a lot of them (I had NO idea when I started this project that there is a little cemetery about every two miles in any direction you go in Darke County). I don't know … [Read more...]
The Pony of the Hills of Savoy
Tonight was a gorgeous night. Cool and sunny, a rare combo in Ohio in July! I TRIED to get out well before dark but failed, I started running just as the sun was starting to dip to the horizon, and ended well into the dark. Super pretty sliver of a moon, stars were shining brightly... did I mention it was cool? Couldn't ask for better after all the sweaty humid runs I've been … [Read more...]
A Short Afternoon Run in Greenville Ohio
I just decided to take a short run through part of a neighborhood while waiting on family doing some business. It was way too hot and I wasn't dressed for running except my shoes. I think it was around 85 degrees and disgustingly sunny. I'm trying to work up the courage to start running more of Greenville, as I don't care for running in the towns at all. The alleys drive me … [Read more...]
Horrendously Hot on Holtzmuller Road
All I can say is YUCK. It was in the high 80's and it sucked the life out of me. VERY slow slog with a few walk breaks just because I really didn't feel like running anymore but neither did I feel like hitching a ride back to my car. Thankfully, Filbruns Pond in West Manchester was waiting for me when I got done. A tepid pond never felt quite so good! … [Read more...]
Curious Deer on White-Coppess Road
This was a comfortable 6 mile run covering a few roads in Ansonia, Ohio and the loop immediately to the NorthEast. I had another semi-crazy raccoon fussing at me from the edge of some trees and then a bit later I played leapfrog with a nice whitetail deer. Kidding about the leapfrogging bit, but he would run a little, stop and look at me, and then run some more when I got … [Read more...]
Daily Run – New Madison – Coletown – Byrket Rd.
Some runs are fun. Some runs are boring. Some runs you see stuff. Some runs you don't. This was a boring run, in the dark, I didn't see a thing worth mentioning. The very definition of a bread and butter run just to get some miles in: … [Read more...]
Bass Cemetery on Ross Road
Starting and ending at Bass Cemetery on Ross Road, my most elderly son and I had a somewhat rare opportunity to run together this morning. Sadly, we don't get out quite early enough and the sun got quite warm REAL quick! It was around 70 degrees when we started and was pushing 80 a little over an hour later. 6.27 miles total. We had a great discussion on the merits of … [Read more...]
