Solstice

Rachel and I planned to be outdoors for the solstice today, but we woke to thunder and lightning. I have been caught in numerous storms this spring, so we decided to postpone the initial activity of biking to Homer Lake.

Rachel returned to bed, and I decided to run hills at the arboretum. 

When I arrived at the hill the wind picked up and the temperature dropped ten degrees. I began at 50k pace. After an hour it began to rain. Thirty minutes later the sky was blue and the heat and humidity increased. I stopped running after three hours had passed.

When I returned home Rachel and I drove to the landscape recycling center to collect firewood and mulch.

After napping we drove to Kickapoo for river tubing. 

David arrives this Friday.
