Walking in the woods 2:20:00 [1]

Climbed Monadnock with the family. Actually took 4:30 but I counted it as 2:20 b/c that's what it takes me solo.

On the animated radar last night I saw the two bands, the first bringing showers & the second possible thunderstorms. I also got an account of what it was like on the ground from an acquaintance further west (Pittsburgh). First band was forecast to be in Jaffrey 7am-noon. And the second starting 4 pm. We were scheduled to be hiking 8am-noon, but I had a really good feeling about the whole adventure.

The weather was just great. No rain. It had rained before we got there. the first half hour we were looking at skies clearing to deep blue. Then it clouded over again. At the top it was chill and blowing like mad. I have a GREAT photo of David, Dave and Isabel in the summit wind.

We saw March of the Penguins last night, which nicely flavored our toil up the mountain.

Running 30:00 [2]

OK, trying to get back in the saddle. 3 mile Bridge circuit Smoot-BU.

Calisthenics 35:00 [2]
weight:137lbs

Workout class in which I was the only student.

Bicycling 16:00 [1]

Double commute

Note

Target races:
1. Three rogaines in May and June
2. Swiss O week in July

Preparation goals:
* "Run" blue at the NEOC and West Point meets. My target time is twice the winning time; 1.95w is my stretch goal.
* Get at least 30 minutes aerobic exercise every day. One forest trail run a week; I'm picturing biking to the Fells to run. Maybe climb Monadnock once or twice - is there snow on it, I suppose?
* Classes, machines, calisthenics for strength and balance, 3 times a week.
* Another 50-plus-jogging-mile week, the first week of May.
* Weight. Hm. Target: G; stretch goal: 130. I waffle about how much to focus on this, vs just getting the daily exercise in. Let me go get a candy bar and think about it.
