I had to get away for a longer and more scenic run on this crisp and clear weekend day, On the spur of the moment I decided to do Evans and Parker via the camps, which I expected to be closed - they were, although I noticed that some maintenance work was in progress.

After the first mile, I lost track of the snowmobile trail after crossing a new logging area and got channeled west back to the Bow Lake Rd. Then a couple attempts of finding Evan's Mt road, but ended up on dead end private roads instead. Not wanting to go back out (1/2 mile) I decided to bushwalk (off the clock) to the road to Evans pretty much in a NWesterly direction. Then some GI issues prompted me for intermittent walks (also off the clock).

Then after Evans, all seemed fine and I had a good second half of my planned run. I encountered not a single person during the entire run. Only a couple with a dog when I was cooling down by my car for a few minutes before driving home.

With two short fast pavement sections in the middle and towards the end. Soo nice and cool today. A run was in order. Legs feel strong after a good warm up (at about mile 1.5 !). The Altras are perfect for trail/road combo.

CW and W Foss Farm Grand Tour. That amounted exactly to a 10 miler. Good effort. Warmish but oooling off nicely be the end.

To College Woods - approach on Mill Road then back on trail.
Garmin automatic upload did not work today.

Six03 Dover Pub Run - with the usual suspects and a couple more. Was hanging on with the front group of three "youngsters". The pace was comfortably fast. Glad I can still play along.

Event: 124th Boston Marathon Cancelled!
 

C • Marathon 2

To CW and back using mostly single-track trails, except during the last 2 miles. Detours to add 3 hills to the usual 2. A reasonable workout. Legs are starting to feel stronger.

A stroll w Nancy for a warm-down.
