Our gym closed temporarily because of community spread of Covid-19. They are planning on evaluating again on the New Year. So I was going to get another gym but on further thought, I decided that I am going to ride this thing through without a gym. Covid-19 in Oklahoma is exploding and the governor doesn&#8217;t want to be outflanked on the right for re-election so he is doing a whole lot of nothing to control it.  So I don&#8217;t have a gym so I&#8217;ll be spending more time outdoors.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<figure class=\"wp-block-embed is-type-photo is-provider-flickr wp-block-embed-flickr\"><div class=\"wp-block-embed__wrapper\">\n<a href=\"https:\/\/flic.kr\/p\/2kbcE2L\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" src=\"https:\/\/live.staticflickr.com\/65535\/50654910262_d760e5d939_c.jpg\" alt=\"DSCF0359\" width=\"600\" height=\"800\" \/><\/a>\n<\/div><figcaption>Heather styling <\/figcaption><\/figure>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">The day after Thanksgiving,  Black Friday, the weather was pretty decent and Post Oak Lodge, a resort northwest of Tulsa opened up their grounds including their trail system to the general public. I&#8217;ve been up there a bunch for Trail Races and so off we went. <\/p>\n\n\n\n<figure class=\"wp-block-embed is-type-photo is-provider-flickr wp-block-embed-flickr\"><div class=\"wp-block-embed__wrapper\">\n<a href=\"https:\/\/flic.kr\/p\/2kb8pyX\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" src=\"https:\/\/live.staticflickr.com\/65535\/50654081163_5f407dcfd7.jpg\" alt=\"DSCF0360\" width=\"500\" height=\"375\" \/><\/a>\n<\/div><figcaption>My kind of styling. I love my baggy flame resistant jeans from before I retired.

They didn&#8217;t have trail maps so we winged. Heather kept asking me, &#8220;you have been out here a lot and you don&#8217;t know the trails?&#8221; So I said it was only once a year and they change the routes some every year. We wanted to go to Holmes Peak, the highest point in Tulsa County.  At least we could see where we wanted to go. We had a to double or loop back a few times though. Just adds to the fun, right?!<\/p>\n\n\n\n<figure class=\"wp-block-embed is-type-photo is-provider-flickr wp-block-embed-flickr\"><div class=\"wp-block-embed__wrapper\">\n<a href=\"https:\/\/flic.kr\/p\/2kbc7P9\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" src=\"https:\/\/live.staticflickr.com\/65535\/50654805246_762856c26f_c.jpg\" alt=\"DSCF0367\" width=\"600\" height=\"800\" \/><\/a>\n<\/div><\/figure>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">We passed some of the zip line towers.

I posted it on facebook and a friend of mine said it looked like one of PJ&#8217;s routes on Family Circus.  I had to agree with him but we had a good time anyway.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<figure class=\"wp-block-embed is-type-photo is-provider-flickr wp-block-embed-flickr\"><div class=\"wp-block-embed__wrapper\">\n<a href=\"https:\/\/flic.kr\/p\/2kbSLNz\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" src=\"https:\/\/live.staticflickr.com\/65535\/50662542413_717c943da8.jpg\" alt=\"IMG_2569-SharpenAI-sharpen (1)-adjust\" width=\"500\" height=\"281\" \/><\/a>\n<\/div><\/figure>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">A few days later we had a full moon. The Beaver Moon I think they call it.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">I am thankful to be able to get outside. I am also thankful that we have a vaccine coming.
