I got back on track with the A to Z! Admirals Lane, an interesting cul de sac in a relatively new condo development that looks like it belongs in a ski resort. I did get to explore Salem Woods at last. There were lots of slippy boardwalks but a couple of cute rock outcrops and sections of conifers that rescued the thick bits.

I started in the late morning when it was raining and town wasn't too bad. It cleared up while I was out and on the way back I had to avoid the city center because it was full of goddamn Spooky tourists not wearing masks. It's a zoo down there and it is maddening that these idiots think their stupid fake holiday vacation is more important than locals getting their kids back into schools. Just two more weeks to go :(

I couldn't run anymore after an hour or so but if felt pretty good till then.

Adding walking with Euan on my back as I always got sore calves afterwards! We finally got a parking spot at Coolidge Reservation today and went for a picnic. The great lawn is glorious, and we saw two seals. It was really lovely, but I need definite hints on layering from those of you with more experience! Also gloves - he always likes fiddling with stuff - are there any non-mittens for babies this age? Do they even work - can you get normal gloves onto constantly moving fingers?!
