Training Log Archive: bl

DP, first in a week, first time in Nottingcook in several weeks. Big flakes floating down, wintry in appearance but 34F. Found some nordic tracks, went same way for most part. Later an ATV whose packed tracks were not helpful...slushy, tiring. Maybe 2" in open but 6-8" in places on tracks, alot of ruts fm ATV fishtailing up some hills. Took a camera to record any destruction but didn't see much. NH really hit hard by Thursday's winds. We were lucky here at the house. Hard to believe where I was last weekend (sunny, warm foot O in NC) or the one before that (northern Vt ski O).

Bog meadow on a late winter's day



Zoe onto something

Birch 8 with Diane. Bright, blustery but, an instant later, dark, spitting, snow squalls, March-like. A lot of trees/branches down after last night's wind. Power outages etc. Blew 68 kts @ IOS. More yard clean up....

Luti 5, CW. Overcast, 40ish, no rain, good energy. Between 2 onshore
storms providing rain & wind. Glad to have it the way it was at noon.
Lots of snow in the north & elsewhere.

Before the current deluge, there was ice (prehistoric fish ensnared in ice)...

DP to contours & up some. New snow, pretty, white woods.

Wretched day with rain/sleet. Bagged a noon run, came home & talked to the dogs. Weights after work, quiet.

Noon, trying to sprinkle/snow, around 32F.

Morning jog from motel in Carolina Beach. Found a SP with sand, scrub oak, pine like Cape Cod. Also to ICW & YC. Could hear the ocean. Warm, no need for mitts, hat. Got mixed up on way back to motel. Was about to retrace 20' of distance so as to not get really confused when I ran by motel - confusion with another name for Rt 421.

PM beach walk with Beth, Vicky, Gregg. Wet or dry, either a bit of a trudge.

Faraway series, photos from elsewhere, #4:
Getting ready for a day's fishing, Galle, Sri Lanka, '90

Classic distance. Perfect temp at 10am start time. Good run, only missed #2 but that was a bit more than 2' error. Thought I knew where I was but bland hillside w/o a good plan B. Rest was clean, had to keep close contact most of time, not much 'free distance.' Generally run straight & read contours. Saw a 49 & a 50', not sure if any others ahead in addition. John C was about 30" behind. 1st M60, got most of the 50 & 55s in 2nd & 3rd races. Lovely day again. Well-organized meet by BOK. Spent some nice time with Phil incl dinner, Beth too, at a Longhorn steakhouse, 20 ways to serve a steak. One would never guess that the park bordered with a moderately large airport. Then to Wilmington to visit sister & family.
