The moving adventure continues. Let's see…

We were in Dubois PA for a night (and I ran in the morning). We were in a hotel in Parsippany-Troy Hills NJ for two nights (and I ran one morning). That stop allowed us to unhitch the trailer and drive into the city to pick up the apartment key (and drop off a few things). Then we drove north to North Hampton NH (with the trailer) and stayed a night. I didn't plan to run, but there was a donut shop across the street so I put on my running shoes to go the third of a mile to get a half-dozen on the morning we left. From there we drove to Blue Hill ME where we've been since midday Friday, still in the trailer but "boondocking" (and I've run twice).

Saturday was my nephew's 17th birthday and we held a joint part for him and my mom, who turns 80 later this month. We'd initially planned a family excursion to Zion, but what with the move, we had to cancel that.

Food highlights include the charcuterie boards that my niece made for the party (she had me make the salami roses); the porky fig toast at Throwback Brewery in NH; and the lobster roll at the Bagaduce Lunch.

Other random updates: I've started taking the "Running Resiliency" course from Greg Lehman (although I haven't touched the materials since I got to Maine); I have absolutely no idea what day of the week it is most of the time — that's good and bad (I posted this past week's Second Breakfast essay a day early); I realized that I need to get a different GPS app for when we're pulling the RV here in New England as there are a helluva lot of low bridges and Ye Olde Google Maps does not help you navigate such things. And finally: according to my Garmin Watch, my HRV is very low and my body is "strained." Um, yeah.

This week is finally move-in week, but not 'til Thursday. So the strain will not be gone anytime soon.
