AM: 2 mile jog around the neighborhood.

Later AM: Met Jake Krong up at Jeremy Ranch for an easy 8 miles - out to Mormon Flats and back. Jake won a 41 mile trail race up in Park City yesterday in a course record by something like 17 minutes. So his pace today was manageable for me :-)

Noon: 9.3 on the muddy Pipeline Trail. Broke out an old pair of shoes because of the mud  and remembered why I had relegated them to lawn mowing shoes.

AM: 2 mile walk. Probably a day off unless I feel up for a short jog this evening.

On this day in 1861, Union General John Buford, commanding just one brigade of cavalry managed to delay the advance of the entire Confederate army north of the town of Gettysburg. This action gave the Union army time to occupy the high ground around Gettysburg which proved decisive in the ultimate Union vicrory.

Despite this, no major U.S. military installation is named after General Buford while several are named for the men he defeated that day. Sad.

AM: 9 miles in the Dimple Dell gully.

On this day in 1863, the First Minnesota saved the Union at Gettysburg by whupping up on a bunch of secessionists from Alabama. The Minnesota regiment lost over 80% of its' men depriving several small towns in southeast Minnesota of young men for the next generation.

Also, Ann and I got married on this day in Pine River, Minnesota in 1994. We'll be celebrating tonight by watching Andy play baseball in Roy.

AM: 2 miles at Liberty Park. Pulled the plug early since I was dealing with severe digestive issues, feeling weak and depleted. Went home, nook a nap, watched Hamilton two and a half times.
