Enjoying the Trails with Our Dogs

Last weekend Jill and I enjoyed the trails with our dogs when we got our two dogs together to meet and hike for the first time. Jill's dog Penny is just over a year old and still a youngster. Peanut turned 9 years old in March. Both dogs are females. I was very happy that they got along very well. Actually after the initial hello, they basically ignored each other and were much more interested in sniffing the grass and looking at all the geese, other hikers and other dogs. We hiked the trail at Hudson Spring Park which features some open areas but mostly shade as it circles Hudson Springs Lake. It was mid-afternoon so the weather was still pretty hot, even in the shade,...

Four on the Fourth Race

Four on the Fourth Race Recap

This year I ran the Four on the Fourth race. It was held in Hudson, Ohio and was well attended. I’ve run a few Fourth of July races over the years and they’re usually hot. I wrote a post a few years ago about some of the Independence Day races I’ve run and when you look at the photographs, it’s clear that most of those races were hot. Last year there were no July 4 races due to the pandemic lockdown. Four on the Fourth Race This year’s Four on the Fourth race was a little different from the previous races. First of all, it was four miles, instead of the traditional 5K. Secondly, the  morning started out cool. It was cool enough that I actually said, “well, at...

2021 Fitbit Goals Halfway Mark

It's now July 2021 and it's time to check on my 2021 Fitbit goals halfway mark. At the end of last year, I decided to go for it and set my step goal for the year at 5 million steps. That's a lot if you ask me. It will be the most steps I've gotten in a single year since I started wearing a Fitbit many years ago. I was going to say that I'm not sure if I can accomplish this goal but then I remembered we're not supposed to say things like that. Instead, I must say, I will walk 5 million steps this year. 2021 Fitbit Goals Halfway Mark I checked in at the end of the first quarter of the year. At the end...
