| despite all the rain, there was still good cover on the fields, probably because it's so flat and the grass is short. did a few laps of alternating skate and classic. the snow was wet and soft, and then it started raining again.

| did a lap around the fields and then headed up into the hills to the south. for a while I've thought it belonged to the adjacent golf course, but then I saw this map (find wilder pond / forbush mill) that seems to indicate it's conservation land. anyway, after a few shortcuts, I got slightly disoriented, and then managed to pop out in the fields again almost as close to where I'd parked as possible.

| as expected, the snow was pretty good for skating, except in the more shady spots where it wasn't as solid, and I did faceplants. 10 minutes at the soccer fields, and then drove up to the HS, where there had been snowmobiles all over the place, except on the track. did some laps, and played around on the infield.

| morning skiing at the soccer fields, from 30F warming up to around 40F. yesterday's track got faster, going 3:39~4:00 most of the time. also, the rest of the snow is starting to set up, after another thaw-freeze cycle, tonight, it might be hard enough to skate all over the place. (fun enough for those of us without our own private ski resort)

| my track at the soccer fields was getting icy, so I made a new one just inside of it. sucked the first time, but after a few it was pretty nice. about 4-4:30 / lap
forgot to mention yesterday that I was feeling out of shape from slacking the last few months. |

| vacation day today, and snowmobile trails in harvard. the usual connector from right across the street only had footprints so far, I found out why down the trail, where it was totally flooded out. at least it was also frozen over, so I could sort of slide across. may have to skip that part for a while. the rest of it was wide and very solid. its been about a week since I stopped the aleve, and I'm still feeling ok (not great though). actually today the other foot is a bit tired from the snow running. probably skiing or biking tomorrow.

| as threatened, I'm going to be logging this, at least for a while. since pretty much all my injuries are linked to tightness, it seems like a good idea. I could hide it from the graphs (but not yet the totals) by setting graph-order to -1, but if I leave it on, maybe then I'll realize when I'm not doing enough anymore...

| 9:30pm at the soccer fields under a nearly full moon. the idea was to put alex and samantha to bed and then go, but alex didn't fall asleep, so now I'm not allowed to do that anymore...for a while at least. too bad, since there are lots more interesting places for training around home than around work.

| drove 3 minutes down to the forbush mill rd soccer fields. making my own tracks on a 900m loop. first time around was pretty slow, but it got better after that. there were snowmobile tracks around, so I spent some time on those also. I'm thinking that it's probably not worth it to get a Weston pass this year, since I probably won't end up going 18 times, and the free skiing around here is almost as good for a workout, unless I want to do some skating. alternatively, great brook farm is much cheaper and probably way more interesting.
more stretching last night and today, and the foot seems slightly better again. |

| at a place in milford called vietnam. trails a bit flooded out in some places, and I had to carry the bike around 1-ft deep partly frozen pools. trails all over the place, having that map along didn't help very much. from the gps, it looks like I stayed mostly in the north part.
my foot actually felt pretty good after friday's run, and much worse after biking. strange. |

| running with bob and darien around lunchtime. foot felt ok. for the last few days I been trying harder to stretch out the other parts of my legs (calf/hamstring/etc) which have become tighter. I think it might be helping. |
