Wood Hill loop ccw, west then warmer south. First 4 mi basically up. Took USOC map fm Va '07 for distraction. Like this loop & note many snowmobile trail possibilities when ground is snow-free, firm. One wk for groin strain, present but ok.


Wood Hill

Nice noon run but lowered expectations as had 'dreamt' of some 6.5. More honest than downhill ski, anyway. Had planned on coming home & skiing 2.5 w/ dogs but that fell thru the roof also for various. Left groin ache fm last Sat still present. Calorie consumption way up, mostly ice cream, so will have to keep after that part of me that says don't make excuses.

Winter wonderland, am 30 January...

Left work early for another pm at Sunapee, perfect kind of day, sunny, negligible wind, temp around 32. Rode up on chair w/ one fellow who drove 5 hrs fm Providence for just the day, some bad road, got lost etc. Another fm Essex, Ct & young woman fm Boston - surprising how many fm out-of-state. Indeed we have snow in this state. Purple tnx to Jeff.

Came home fm work to 10" or more of getting-wetter-by-the-moment snow; did better or at least more extensive job than usual - incl part of roof so as not to be stuck w/ frozen crust tomorrow, harbinger of ice dams & roof leaks. In 4.5 mos, all out there will be green, humming, chirping glory. Had hoped for some run-in-snow fun at SPS but noon hr outside didn't look good on the work-to-do list, a rare occurrence.

Real slogo w/ Diane, just wanted 5mi to make sure left groin was up to it which it was. Nice enough day, used the time to spout off about this & that left behind inside the bldg. Lots of snow for tomorrow, winter wonderland stuff, bit of something at SPS for entertainment.

After work at White Farm, glide wax was not optimal tho 'universal.' Was all set to run at noon & Diane of all people is at my door telling me I have a lunch mtg. Just prior, had recovered fm fact that I had no turtle neck or even t shirt (but 2 nylon shells) as well as no running shoes but old//retired. Had skis anyway.

Rest day/dog pacification on SS, working around house, Mocha goes to bk door & barks to be let in for supper even tho no one is inside. Was on roof battling a portion of ice dam & slipped which aggravated groin strain. Running/front/bk motion generally ok.
