A 6 miler this morning.

Which way? This way to Atlanta Rd and relatively flat or…..

...this way with lots of hills, plus cross Vinings Mountain.

Looks like the hills and running up Overlook Parkway across Vinings Mountain.

I see the top.

Cumberland Parkway.

Even at 9:00 pm 81F and 88% humidity. But a great sunset.

Cool pic for 2 reasons.

1. Nice eye and only negative is the overhead wires.
2. Is that an app that overlays your stats on a pic? Don't recognize the trademark®.

A little 7.5 mile run in the sun from my house and got a little dehydrated. Washed/waxed my car this morning and then went for a run. A little too much.

Looks like the sun is already hot.

Crossing Cumberland Boulevard.

Heading around SunTrust Park.

Shade under pedestrian bridge.

Spring Rd.

'Freshly baked' sidewalks across from The Weather Channel.

Shade under I285 overpass. Need more shade.

Akers trail.

I tried to get closer to eliminate the wires, but then lost the sky. So I compromised and kept the wires. The app is called Strava. I have really just gotten back into running since getting the Watch. I really like the basic Apple workout app, but as of right now doesn't seem to do much. Strava will automatically compare your pace to your previous runs if you often run the same routes. Stuff like that isn't really essential for me, but has been helpful in showing that I am gradually getting a little faster. If you live in a major city where a lot of people use Strava it will let you know how fast you run certain segments compared to other runners. There is an option to upload photos from your run to the app (which can be private or public in the Strava app). Then just export your photo and it will overlay you speed time distance info. You can also export with a GPS map and the overlay, BUT not if you use the Apple workout app. Apple does not give the option to export the GPS info. Sorry for the long explanation.

.... The app is called Strava.....

Actually I use Strava too but not on my watch or Apple data. I import from my Garmin Connect data.

The next 6 pictures are all about the native Red Squirrel (very nervous creature) that I have just managed to capture on camera. Been trying to photograph the squirrels for a long time on my journey up the hills, so my patience has paid off - well pleased.

This was my 6.95mi run around Gibraltar.

Was having a CarPlay/Android Auto module replaced in my car Monday and took a short 4.5 mile run around Marietta in the hot muggy sun.

Ran by a Tesla Store. I have never had a blue car and think it will be my next color. Also was going to get a Model 3 but wanted a coupe. Was ready to put my deposit down but just don't care for sedans. Still hoping Tesla will make a coupe in the next few years. Just bought an ELR to tide me over and having the CUE (infotainment) updated to CarPlay.

S. Marietta Parkway

Stopping for a 'shade' break.

Roswell St gets wider with better walks. Sun still looks hot.

Turn the corner onto Cobb Parkway south and look what happens to the sidewalk.

Now it's back.

Now it's gone again

I saw the storm coming with the thunder and lightning. So, I just ran a fast (for me) mile.


The moon. The iPhone camera just isn't quite ready for handheld moon photography yet.

Suffering plantar fasciitis and haven't ran in about 3 weeks. However Saturday was the Vinings 5K and usually use it to get my Peachtree 10K time. Needed a 21:51 or better for timed group A but fell flat at 22:47. May try some other races but I may have to settle moving into timed group B after being in A for 12 years.

Why is this parking lot so empty? Misread the start time and thought it was moved up.

Looks like a small crowd this year for the start.

An hour later and closer to start time.

Vinings Jubilee after race.

Pre Eclipse run. GA Welcome Center near SC line. Very muggy and sunny/hot. Even with that and plantar fasciitis it was an almost decent run though I did have to stop in the shade several times.

8AM and already several people here for eclipse.

Service road behind Welcome Center and start of run.

Looking back down the service road.

Small country road.

On Google Maps this is listed as a county road and wanted to cut through...but....looks like Apple Maps was right.

Now have to run about ½ mile down this narrow state 55mph highway. Hope I make it.

Down another small country road and the turn around point.

People starting to set up everywhere.

 

[Julien]

About 95% with strange leaf shadows.

99% and hard to tell just how eerily strange the light is in a pic.

Totality looking south and beyond the shadow.

Totality looking east and beyond the shadow.

Just stumbled upon this thread by coincidence. I live in Smyrna right near here. Nearly all of your Recent posts in this thread are places I see nearly every day!
