Mystery Blazes. First frogs of the year vocalizing down by the Seaver turn. Also the first tick of the year crawling on me (a smallish one, but I suspect it's a young/small wood tick, not a deer tick).

Found two more ticks crawling on me later on while sitting at my computer. Noticed both of them by feel, but this doesn't not make me very happy, as I don't know where they came from and who knows how many more are lurking.

I think this is something that always seems like it's going to be more fun than it actually turns out to be. Maybe if I did more of it, it would be more enjoyable. Or if I had on a movie or some music or something. I think this was halfway respectable for somebody so inexperienced, though.

An out-and-back on the Tunxis Trail, over Trillum Hill and down to Hurricane Brook, with Zack, Charlie, and Rhonda.

A bit of low-hanging fruit. There are a few tiny snow piles left, and a few small stagnant bodies of water have a bit of ice, but the temperature got up to 73 this afternoon, so I put on shorts and went out for a run. I didn't see any kind of monument at the town line, so despite the fact that there was a pavement break and the house numbers changed, I continued in search of something to tag. The corner of Old City Road was in sight, and the signpost there indicated that I was on Lunenburg Rd. (a sure sign that I was no longer in Lunenburg). On the way back, I spotted a white-painted wooden post in the weeds which I suspect may have once held a sign indicating the town line. I glanced at my watch at the turnaround, and it looks like I was a little slower on the return despite the fact that it was mostly downhill.

Unicycling the Oak-Holman-Highland figure-8. I didn't initially plan to go so far, but it was a very nice day (albeit a little windy, which can make it tough), so I decided to keep going. This was a great no-impact bit of easy exercise, which was just what I needed. The cool thing about unicycling is that I leave all kinds of smiling people in my wake. One woman who I passed said, "I'm more nervous than you are!". (That's quite true, ma'am.)
