#run walk jog

Post S3. Steve — inspired by how out of shape the kids were, knowing they're about to enter highschool territory and will need even better stamina to protect themselves from bullies, and it's just good for them — harasses the party into doing morning cross-country style runs. 
At first they obviously try to get out of it. But once Steve starts withholding their chauffeur privileges for a week per run they miss and proves that he means it, they begrudgingly go along with it.
Steve’s not mean about it. He doesn’t push them to run particularly fast or for excruciatingly long distances. As long as they keep themselves moving, he’s happy about it. 
Of course even better are the few days where he’s able to convince Max to join them — usually through promised milkshakes afterwards. 
She never jogs with them, instead skateboarding either behind them all or taunting them from in front. Which again — Steve’s just happy she’s out in the sun with them. And if the boys are too out of breath to try and strike up any kind of conversation with her when she’s not in the mood for it, then it’s all the better.  
- -
Robin’s a special case. She is, of course, her own adult (as much as you can be at their age, anyway) and Steve loves her like no other, his Platonic Soulmate capital ‘P’. But Steve’s now finished his third round of Upside Down dealings, and he’ll be damned if he leaves her to deal with the aftermath all on her own. (Like he may have felt back in the beginning, but he doesn’t often like to acknowledge those particular feelings).
So when the Underground Bunker and Torture flavored nightmares finally start to make their appearance, Steve knows just the solution. 
Much like the kids, it takes some convincing. Especially considering it’s nearly the middle of the night. 
But Robin’s much more willing to indulge his jock tendencies. And once they get going, having snuck out Robin’s thankfully ground-floor window, she starts to see the benefit. Simultaneously releasing the body of its flight-or-fight adrenaline rush and helping to get them out of their heads.
She still hates the actual running part of it. Bemoans every time they come back covered in sweat (okay so mainly just Robin, Steve’s only “lightly damp” by his own words). 
Yet Robin is the one to suggest moving their runs to the daytime as they slowly recover from Starcourt. Slowly able to get a proper night’s rest again. 
Eventually it almost just becomes habit to quick change, grab their drinks, and go for a lap around the downtown shops if they both get off shift before the sun sets. 
And if a certain unsuspecting metalhead happens to keep almost walking into signposts whenever the two of them jog past, well, Robin’s entitled to a little free entertainment. ;)

more EF defaults!
more! MORE! i'm tryin to clean out the default projects littering my desktop.

efTopFlaredWaist replaced by @goatskickin's conversion of @pforestsims's Open Blazer with Padded Shoulders. Does this at all resemble the original Maxis top or carry the same vibe? No, but consider this: it's better. It's got pockets.

efBodySweats replaced by this Goat outfit. I knew it would make the perfect default as soon as I saw it. Available for everyday and gym clothes.
I did not replace the black color, as I'm pretty sure it's a hidden career outfit and also I didn't feel like it.

Misty walk with Mags this morning but it was lovely and peaceful. We saw a couple of her friends and played ball all the way home ❤️

Worked at home, only finished 5 mins late which wasn't bad at all considering how busy the phones were. Hung laundry out, made halloumi saag for dinner, went out for a short jog while it was simmering. This was such a humbling 'run' lmao I haven't been out in a few weeks after a couple of really busy weekends, periods, and being ill. So today was just to ease back into it and it sucked tbh my stomach felt awful and I felt like I wanted to vomit a lot of the time, and I'm still a bit congested so breathing was extra hard. But I got outside, and I got sweaty, and I didn't stop so it was 100% a win 🥰

Showered, had dinner, and now chilling before another busy weekend, catching up on chores I've fallen behind on because of previous busy weekends 🫠

Wow did I need that! The sun on my skin, the farm land air and especially those steep hills! Heck yeah!

You’ve come along with me on almost all of the “Airline Trail” and some of The Greenway.
As you can see from the pictures, it’s a mostly flat, well packed, gravel dusted trail. It’s about as challenging as walking down a road with no traffic but the occasional person on a bike. I typically walk or jog at least a quarter of it down and back to where I’m parked, three times a week and smaller portions on days where I have less time available to do so.
There can be some mucky points during Spring or a period with lots of rain, around the areas with lots of rock drainage (it was a train route, so some areas of blasted rock walls can turn into little waterfalls if it’s rained enough) or portions that cross wetlands, though many of these patterns are anticipated. You’ll often see that if an area looked very muddy it’s filled with more rock by the next time you go, later in the week. It is maintained pretty well.
I think the only place with a noticeable change in uphill elevation is near Estabrooks Road in Hampton, CT, heading up to the trail road crossing, which can be a potential consideration for those in wheelchairs.
Time availability is really the only issue with walking or using a high maneuverability wheelchair for longer hikes on the trail. For covering large portions of it (or the whole thing, dawn to dusk, if you’re a conditioned hiker)you should plan to pack sufficient water, snacks, maybe a cell charging pack and start early enough so that you’re not racing the sunset to get back to your car. There’s no lighting on the trail but at road crossings. That’s important for not disrupting wildlife at night.
Alternatively, you can walk pieces of it, down and back and park at different lot points along the way (generally at street crossings), which is an option for families with young children, those with health needs that require break stops or those under a schedule crunch.
Public bathrooms: May be found at public parks (check websites to see when they’re open), town centers and in private businesses, though some may require a purchase to use them. You’re hiking through multiple towns and crossing multiple parks, so plan based on which part you’ll be hiking. If one placed is closed, there may be another option a half hour down the trail 🤣.
There’s usually a street crossing about every half hour but most of them are low traffic country roads; however, there will be stop signs and reflective markers leading up to the crosswalks, so you won’t be suddenly caught off guard at a roadway.
That said, you should always be alert for potential vehicle traffic (including farm vehicles) at anything that looks like a potential road crossing. On occasion, the trail’s path will cross private drives or the back of farm and/or other private property entries rarely used: A sign denoting private property or a driveway entrance is generally posted. I have yet to encounter any vehicles crossing the trail but it’s been clearly noted, where there’s a possibility.
Also: You’ll know when you’re passing through a farm by the sounds of multiple roosters crowing and cows mooing, as well as flocks of fascinated sheep, alpacas and perched goats staring you down 🤣. You’ll see cows laying in the fields and horses running around. The pungent perfume of the pastoral will become evident, as well. It’ll be obvious.
Don’t worry, though: If you have a rare fear of sheep, the trail is elevated and the farms are separated by fences, gates and distinctive wetlands. It’s extremely unlikely any of them get clever enough to escape all of that. Do be suspicious of the ones that do 🤣.
About that elevation of trails: You’re walking at the peak of a gravel filled trestle or woodland hills that gradually slope: There are no cliff like areas that I’m aware of but you’re still technically at the top of a hill for most of the trail. The top of The Lyman Viaduct will probably be one of few areas where you’ll feel noticeable elevation. If that’s a problem for you, you can always just avoid that part of the trail.
Animal/Wildlife contact: As of now, I’ve only seen deer, squirrels, chipmunks, frogs, toads, one garden snake slithered by while I was walking through the wetlands (it was afraid of me and scooted as I approached) and tons of birds, including the turkeys you see in one of my pictures, above.
The bugs haven’t been bad by my experience but if you spend enough time on the wetlands parts of the trail, they start to notice you as you’re leaving the area; however, they’re usually preoccupied with all the better wetlands options 🤣.
You’re mostly walking through but above the woods at slight elevation or through corridors, so you’re not really at ground level for most animals. There are marked off-trails you can go on, connected to all the preserves and parks you walk through. Signage about park rules or just a welcome sign is usually posted at the entrance.
Be aware that some trails meeting up with The Airline are actually on the property of private homes but there’s usually a sign posted denoting that or posted signs on trees declaring the property private and those trails are on that land. I think it’s made pretty clear when you’re walking through state land or local and state parks vs. private, though.
Just some things to think about if you’re in the area and planning to hike The Airline Trail!

Should I get up at 6 in the morning to go for a run or is that an insane decision that I will hate myself for
#the background is i’ve been running on and off since december but i’m finally getting pretty good at it i think#(the secret is doing lots of other stuff like hula hooping and exercise bike and pilates to gain aerobic ability and strength)#and i feel like i want to try running outside#up to now i’ve been using a slow treadmill with a top speed that’s a pretty decent jogging pace for me#but i definitely want to be able to go faster and i also need to be able to change up my strides#ya girl is 6’1 my strides are definitely longer than this treadmill is#however. i’m very aware that i look goofy as fuck when i run. i’m clumsy and top heavy and i have a bad case of rbf#NONE OF THIS MATTERS. but i still would rather run at a time when there’s not that many people around#so i was thinking why not 6am. but then i was like. ellen are you actually out of your fucking mind#right now i usually run in the late afternoon because it makes me hungry and that motivates me to start prepping dinner#so switching up the timing is already going to mess me up. literally switching from evening to morning pilates made me feel like the world#was ending. it’s bad#if i want to run outside i am going to have to change what time i do it regardless because the streets are full of school run people#and dog walkers at my usual time. i see them walking past my house#so it’s like why not do it at 6am#or. i Could try like 10pm. i do live in a small town; it’s pretty safe#what i could do is wear a hat with a light on it. men hate those. and carry a metal water bottle#i am like 80% sure i could incapacitate someone with a hydroflask i’m ngl. not that i’ll probably need to. but a girl’s gotta be prepared#personal

Really tired of ppl (read as: men) telling me “oh you can do better than that!” when I say I’m running my first 5K next month and have gotten a good pace of 15 minute miles. Um, I know my own body. Please stop insisting that I could do 12 minute miles if I really wanted to. I haven’t ran consistently since 2020. To say that I got back in the gym January of this year, I think 15min/mi is FANTASTIC and y’all can suck my ass.
