After recovering from the strain of doing the home trails with some good activity (swimming and elliptical), I didn't want to do the weekend warrior thing and put my self back for the upcoming week. So, on Saturday, a windy, cool day I took to the home trails with a rake instead of a bike. After walking the dogs on the trials, I stayed out and raked off about 75% of my trail system. I would have stayed out longer, and probably too long to not do too much, had it not been for the cold front squall that attacked me after about 2 hours of raking at 4 pm. The wind started howling and the rain driving, even with some mixed in hail. I stayed in the woods for awhile enjoying the protection derived by the trees. The branches and limbs coming down had me alarmed enough to start towards the house. By the time I got there I was glad I started in when I did. I looked for the chickens in the coop and only conted four. The other four apparently were under the coop. All in all, a good workout that was later felt more in the shoulder that the legs.
On Sunday we got some lumber to build raised beds and then Donna decided to go for a run with the dogs. I had in mind riding the trails I had raked the day before, but definately wanted to take it easier than the last time. So, I rode on the mountain bike while Donna ran with the dogs - just about 3 miles which was a nice warm-up. Then I took to the freshly raked trails and stayed to where I had raked. Felt good before, during and after. Hopefully that will hold true tomorrow.
