Road running 1:05:01 6.6 mi (9:51 / mi)
shoes: Brooks Defyance
Went out at 1:40, after MSO - not to be deprived of midday fresh air. Ironworks-Luti loop, March mellowness! Finished in a tee shirt, getting overheated. Not much energy, no clear reason, just Monday, Monday, not to be trusted. Need some pavement pounding this week. Entered a snowshoe race at UNH Sat eve, prodded by Diane. 48F at 5pm, interesting clouds much of day, CF on the way.

Walking 18:00 [1]
AM DP to PL - road in had been softened by a groomer since yesterday pm's visit. Met a man & young daughter & their pissed off dog (probably because leashed). Z&M all hackles. They were rare visitors going sledding. Passed by not 6' away w/ dogs moaning & hissing & the little girl pleasantly smiling.
Walking 12:00 [1] 0.3 mi (39:59 / mi)
PM DP round the SS tracks w/ Z. Mocha went off with Beth to return Janelle to school. Marvelled at the 5pm light. Z. got way ahead, I could see her in the yard, undoubtedly hurrying along to scrounge up any uneaten birdseed on the ground. I'll miss this packed-hard path thru the woods & snow at winter's end. Had only it been longer & more creative.
Watched 3 movies with granddaughter Janelle, here 3 nights, 4 days (long wkend off fm nearby school). Soccer & hockey jock, wanted to take her out to try skate ski but didn't happen. She enjoyed grandparents' conversation at dinner....

Skate skiing 36:13 [3] 3.41 mi (10:37 / mi) +97m 9:45 / mi
Skate, surface looked soft from this am's walk. More I do it, more this place is hard to make do but better for having done sa/ome. Removed skis twice for climb - herringbone wasn't worth it tho' it would get the HR up - track perhaps less than 5' width. White farm is looking so much better being flat to sl. rolling and is pretty well-groomed for Nordic.

Event: Balsams Ski-O
Skate skiing 53:00 3.35 mi (15:49 / mi)
PM DP, one of three for the day. This on skate skis w/ dogs - much of surface was hard/crusty, bit of a rogue's gallery for skate ski. 26', 2.5 mi
First DP was at Rollins Park on way to town; got out of parking lot by walking in others' tracks. 12', 0.4 mi
Middle one was a Dillon DP on the SS course around the house as in Grandpa attention detail. A cute little devil - 20' of "sitting" for him in the house means not 10" can go by w/o noting what he's up to and likely preventing it from happening. A lot easier outside with a track he can't escape. Sure fell a lot. Wearing Grandma's gloves & hat (his not convenient) which came off a lot - not a whiner. 15', 0.35mi
Dillon pacification

Road/trail 59:28 2.61 mi (22:47 / mi) +56m 21:22 / mi
Out the door on waxless, in need of trying skiing on top of crust. No eye contact w/ dogs...could see Z looking out thru window. Crust supported, a bit too much pine debris but excellent in open, esp. on slough. Woods were quite passable due to depth of snow. Took off skis to come down deepest part & was up to knees. Warm.

shoes: Brooks Defyance
Luti w/ Ironworks spliced on. Fine February midday. 0.5 mi of
snow/ice, rest dry pavement. More caution than I remember on the ice - well, no point in falling. Warm sun heading south, should've kept going. Good sign to have chosen/done!

Skate skiing 47:00 [2] 4.5 mi (10:27 / mi)
At SPS, crusty/slithery in shade, softer in sun. Groomer passed thru & made it very nice. Another part had 1/2" powder on crust & that was fine, too.
Chickens out enjoying the day.

Classic skiing 12:00 [2] 0.5 mi (23:59 / mi)
Short DP more to see if the crust would hold - which it did which made for any direction that suited. Dogs stayed on top about half the time - but annoyance may not be in their psyche. Skied along the SS tracks which are hard surface now. Where yesterday's snow fell off the branches, crust was rough. What a change from 24 hrs ago!
Road running 57:33 6.2 mi (9:17 / mi) +120m 8:45 / mi
shoes: Brooks Defyance
1pm, Fisk-Little Pond, cw. Cold at start, where will is wondering but get going, get out of wind, get away from cars, get warmed up & things get better. Good energy.
Classic skiing 12:00 [1] 0.4 mi (29:59 / mi)
Like the AM, get on skis & walkabout, watch the dogs struggle. Mocha went back to the house as tummy was paramount.

Snowshoes 15:00 [1] 0.3 mi (49:59 / mi)
PM DP, not by choice. Beth has been at work all day, not home when I got here. Nice tho'...with dark coming, waves of white in the woods, new, dry cold weather. Dogs don't break thru on SS track. Maybe cold will make a crust that could support skis - that would be fun.
