After enduring Peter's poking fun at my increasing portliness yesterday (not undeserved btw) I figured I'd try and see if I can't forcibly carve some time out during the middle of the day. I frequently bring running stuff to work, but rarely manage to break away. But as Peter pointed out, its a matter of prioritizing and for health reasons alone, I really need to do this. And I've been averaging 9 hours or so a day at work (weekends not included) and contractually (on paper at least) I'm supposedly working 7 hours a day. So I guess there is room in there for me to get outside without real repurcussions. Planned on heading out at 10:30, actually got out at 11. So not too bad.

Not a lot of options around campus without a lot of roads, but the Shelter Falls park gives me some singletrack (exposed roots & rocks under leaves), some rutted jeep road and open fields and a minimum of tarmac. And a route I can easily do in under an hour.

And by winding my over behind Horsebarn Hill, I can get on the Nipmuck either northbound or southbound, although the stretch of trail along the river is pretty eroded and crappy running. But it something I guess..

C • Bravo, portly one! :-) I ... 4

Better today, contacts stayed in, picked up Kristen & Pic enroute to 4. Bungled 6 staying R to avoid green and got much too far before correcting. Happy with rest of run, losing Pia near 7 but staying with Kristen the rest of the course (mostly ) but could only keep her in sight the last few. 8-9-10 in particular went nicely...

Nice day, branch to the eye around #7, lost the distance contact lens, not so fun after that

After dinner, in the dark, on pavement while boys at scouts. Nope... got nothing, bailed earlier than planned.
