| Got this piece of equipment for free from a woman who didn't want it anymore. It had my pulse through the roof in a minute or two. I'll have to work up to more time gradually and also solve the problem of an annoying squeak from somewhere in the works. |

| Three sprints at Bennett's Pond before WCOC winter meeting. Sunny and cool. Woods a little messy. Times were 28:34, 29:24 and 28:18. Moved more slowly but navigated better as things went on. |

| Pushed a little harder than usual - was it because cellar was cold or because I was watching Peter Frampton on SoundStage? |

| Calf still not right for running so went for a hike to Nathan Hale Homestead and back by a different route. Roughly 10.5 miles total. Mostly on roads with about 1.5 miles of bushwhacking through a part of the forest I've never hiked. |

| After this short warm up/workout went out for a quick jog/walk around the neighborhood to try out my new mask from EMS in the wind chill below zero conditions. Very nice and warm but can't wear glasses with it 'cause they fog up instantly. |

| Note | |
| (injured) |
| Calf tear/strain is much less severe than before but will keep me from running for a while. Bike and Nordictrack do not seem to aggravate the problem. Walking is almost normal - just minor discomfort. Can't push off with right foot to run. |

| road run 35:09 [3] | |
| |
| Gravel road in Nipmuck SF south of Rte. 190 at Laurel Sanctuary. Ran easy pace west to east then headed back. Sharp pain in right calf stopped me. I think I've reinjured the calf I tore badly two years ago. I had been comfortable in shorts and tshirt while running but the bushwhack back to the car through a mile of thick wet laurel left me kind of cold. |

| Actually 2 runs. Ran from Crandall entrance on Cider Mill, on paved bike connector to Old Post Rd. then uphill to "entrance" to Crandall from the north. After half hour trail run in the park, ran roads to the entrance of Weigold Preserve for another trail run. |

| From Tobiason Preserve through the woods to home on a zig zag course to avoid the nastiest vegetation. Got home just in time to nap through most of the second half of Pats v. Jets. |

| kayaking 1:16:43 [3] | |
| |
| Upstream and into the wind on the Willimantic River from the Eagleville Dam almost to Rte. 44. bridge. Turned back downstream after 45 min. for a much easier paddle back.Roughly 3.8 miles round trip. Large deer carcass stuck on a snag midstream. I thought I might be the only one taking advantage of the warmth, but one fisherman was casting from his small boat near the dam and two other kayakers showed up as I was loading the boat back into the car. |
Friday Jan 5 |

| Intervals around the neighborhood. 100 strides 5k race pace - 25 easy, repeat |
Thursday Jan 4 |
| road run 49:55 [2] | |
| |
| Neighborhood predawn tour at an easy pace. Nearly full moon lit the way. Northfarms, Broadway, School Ext. and back via Hannah. Two deer on Jeff Jones lawn looked up but didn't run away as I passed within 20 feet. Good thing I don't run with a Ridgeback. approx. 5.15 miles |

| While watching "You Can Do It" retirement planning program on PBS. Depressing. |
Tuesday Jan 2 |
| road run 34:00 [2] | |

| Pre-dawn jog around the neighborhood. Unseasonable warmth continues. Expect that this early am routine won't be quite as enjoyable in few weeks. |

| hiking 1:55:35 [1] | |
| |
| Supposed to be a New Years Day hike with the Meshomasic Hiking Club but no one showed up. Got the winter newsletter on Saturday and it bragged that the club actually held 127 of the 129 hikes planned in 2006 and cited this fact as proof that at least some MHCers are not afraid of "torrential downpours". Then no one shows up for the first hike of 2007 on a mild, rainy day! Although I would have liked some company, I enjoyed a nice fast hike of the outer loop plus some of the mountain bike trails on the west end out to Birch Mountain Road. Stepped in a huge dog shit upon my return to the parking lot. AOWN |
