I was really slow today. I have enjoyed the new app narrated and designed by running legend Jeff Galloway. It allows me to just run a little bit, then walk. My arthritis has been bothering me quite a lot and neuropathy in my feet. I bought a pair of used Hoka Bondi wide on eBay for running the paved trail. I do like the New Balance wide shoes I have also, but tend to hurt my toes a bit while running on pavement due to how I push off and my bad bones.

beautiful but a little muggy with mist coming in off the ocean. Tide is high and sluggish here as this traces its way out to the mouth of the river that connects to the Pacific ocean.
The high stratus clouds tease at the potential of the winter rains, just not quite yet. This view has never gotten old.

This weekend, with any luck, I’ll be attending the cranberry harvest with the kids. Gasoline is up around $5.70, when it goes up, I don’t get gas — and then it goes higher! So now my tank is empty and I’ll have to pay out the nose to fill up my little tank to put-put over the river. Luckily I have an old little tin can I drive around. I do miss having a nice truck sometimes, I did love that Dodge Dakota back in ’92. Great truck.

It has been a really long time since I’ve gone to Coffee Girl and walked the boardwalk, I think I need to do that when I feel better.

I was burgled. a deer climbed up four steps to the deck and walked to the far end to munch all the leaves and blooms off my rose bush! It also grazed my moss rose succulents completely to the ground. Here I was being so proud of my very tiny deck garden which I had mistakenly assumed was safe from deer.
