| Moonlit run to test the right foot which felt fine while running but hurt like hell by the time I got home. Signed up for a Wachusett Regional High School alumni 5k in late Nov. to give me something to aim for. I'm very likely to be the oldest runner and maybe the slowest. |

| Trails in Hartford and East Hartford after work. South on paved trail from Riverside Park to the Charter Oak bridge. Carried bike up stairs then rode across to E. Hartford and down the stairs to the trails headed north along the Connecticut River. Crossed back into Hartford on the Founders Bridge then back to Riverside Park. Rode dirt trail loop north of the park. What used to be single track lined by stinging nettle is now more of a road cut about 8 feet wide and all fallen limbs and most rocks cleared away. Very fast and lots of fun. |
