Training Log Archive: RLShadow

Run/walk (5 min running / 1 min walking). I was pushing the pace reasonably well on most of the running portions so it seemed almost like an interval workout.

Haven't been running much lately, and it shows. Run/walk with trailsnail, starting at Creek and Plank. For the most part, ran 5 minutes, walked 1 minute.

Climbing Stillwater Mt (only about 500 ft vertical) with Cheryl, and then the firetower (w/o Cheryl).

Spent three days at Rap-Shaw Camp, on an island in Stillwater Reservoir, with Cheryl, Greg, Vicky, and Fred, along with Vicky's parents and Vicky's brother and his wife, and the wife's parents.

Short hike with the whole crew (including three dogs) on the somewhat oddly named "Necessary Dam Road". Does the "necessary" refer to the dam, or to the "dam road"?

We actually walked a lot further than the trace shows. Not sure why it truncated like it did.

Not a training outing at all -- just wanted to see the GPS track of where we went. We got picked up by a boat taxi service to take us to Beaver River, a very small community that is essentially off the grid. It can only be reached by boat, or by car after going across a portion of Stillwater Reservoir on a fairly primitive ferry and then driving 6 miles on an old gravel road, or by snowmobile in the winter. It used to be served by the Adirondack RR but that stopped running many decades ago. The permanent population is 4, but they do a reasonably robust tourist business, especially in the winter.

Most of the track was on Stillwater Reservoir, but then about a mile or so at the end was on land, being taken by a small bus from the boat dock to the town.
