Maple Street Loop/Hash

My quadriceps are sore from all that hill-walking-up yesterday. The Kitty Run course goes up for the first six miles, then straight down to below the start over about two miles, and then mostly up for the remaining five. I was reminded how unprepared I was for that effort as I walked the Maple Street Loop this morning in 31:11. I was even sorer this afternoon as I walked for 1:35:50 with the Hash from the Hubanks' house in Maumelle. We went a little over six miles.

I think it's interesting that, according to the crap we can research with this new blogger.com format, Pam's Boy has been viewed exactly four-hundred times in the last month in Russia, two-hundred and seventy-eight times in the United States, and twelve times in Columbia. There were thirty-eight views of my blog yesterday? Do what? That can't be right, can it?

Kitten Run

I took the 13.7-mile Kitten Run option offered at this morning's Catsmacker. It took me 3:10:36. I felt like shit most of the way, not nearly as sharp as last Saturday. I don't think I ran more than about thirty minutes. However, the weather was perfect. It was never warmer than the upper 60s.

Ghetto Cat Loop

I walked the Ghetto Cat Loop this morning in 30:03, and am unsure whether I will be able to resist walking this afternoon or evening. The high today is supposed to be 76°F. This might be the last day without air conditioning until September.

Levy Trail

You know what, man, my legs are tired. I walked the Levy Trail in 1:21:34 this morning and for the first time was bothered by all the rocks. I want to go for a couple of hours on the Ouachita Trail this Saturday, so I think I'll take the rest of the day off, and try to walk no more than two miles tomorrow. We'll see.

Levy Trail/Levy Loop

I walked the Levy Trail this morning in 1:19:30. This afternoon I walked the Levy Loop in 28:23, and when I stopped at the end of the driveway, I noticed a large, mean-looking, mean-sounding brown dog in my front yard. He came jogging toward me, growling, and Samantha sprinted off the front porch to a spot between the dog and me, arched her back, and with her fur standing up like quills, hissed as loudly as cats hiss. The dog lunged toward her, but Samantha met him head on, and the dog retreated in an instant. All three of the cats dashed into the house when I opened the door. I guess I like Sam a little more now.

Levy Trail/38th Street Loop

I walked and jogged five miles on the Levy Trail this morning, from my house to Camp Robinson and back, in 1:09:53, going out in 35:50, and coming back in 34:03. This evening I walked the 38th Street Loop in 28:50. Oh, and happy birthday to all of my readers who were born on this date.

Ghetto Cat Loop

I walked the Ghetto Cat Loop this afternoon in 30:35.
