| On the trails at the loch. Still an ice raft on the frog pond, but the lake was ice free and dead calm. There were some gosling feathers at one point on the shore trail. The foxes have been lucky. Beautiful at dusk. |

| A December bike ride. Just enough to get the yearly total over 1300 miles. Went north of the valley up Cuba rd. Temp in the 50's on top of the ridges, but very chilly down in the river bottoms where there's still enough snow to ski on. Fingers and toes very cold. Climbed 1680'. |

| A stolen penguin has been in the news lately. However, I suspect it wasn't stolen at all. I think he escaped, and now he's on a rampage of no-goodness! This photo from a local security camera was just released:
Its a little fuzzy, but I'm pretty sure thats a penguin with a gun in his flipper

| Roland Park. I stepped on someone's concrete sidewalk repair. It was barely marked with a tape on the ground and I just stepped right over it. Normally the sidewalk is nice and firm, but I squished right into it. The owners were there in the driveway and I stopped and apologized profusely. There was some chatter among them about putting a garbage can in the sidewalk. I got the feeling the topic had been discussed before and there were some "I told you so" looks going around :) |

| Roland Park. A little faster each day. I think this is mostly due to decreasing ice on the sidewalks. |

| Long trail run at the Loch. Suprised to see up to 0.5" of snow still in the forest. Was about 2/3 covered, 1/3 bare. Climbed 2200' Route and profile. The north arm of the lake was iced over...pretty early in the year for that. |

| Roland Park. The trail section was brutal. Glare ice everywhere. Managed to get off into the soft snow on the sides in most places - traction but slower. Only busted my ass once. Still sore from the tiny bit of skiing this weekend, which is suprising. |

| At the local Elementary school. Just enough cover to ski on grass. Pretty dull just skiing on a small loop around the field, but by god it was skiing. Also some woman talking on a cell phone walked right down my track while I was going at full tilt towards her - she finally stepped off without even looking up. Hopefully we'll get enough cover on the trails at the loch soon. Distance a guess. |
