Around the block CCW then down the hill and back. In the 50s, O-pants and a SS T-shirt.

When I was a kid, the arrival of the new phone book was an exciting day. There was a whole ritual about copying the important phone numbers from the inside cover of the old book to the new one. I remember in college at least one of my dormmates having a phone book from back home. Today I received two phone books, one in my driveway and the other in front of my mailbox. Much smaller than in the old days, in part because there are no residential listings any more. And they're both going in the recycling bin immediately, at least I got them before they got all waterlogged. There's a URL on the cover to stop delivery, I guess I'll try it and see if it works.

Also, a new acquisition:

Now I need to find a second one, so that Nancy and I will have one each.

Rummaging around in the hall closet, looking for a piece of hang gliding gear I haven't used in several years, I found my missing tub of Tanglefoot.

Snow dealings, round 6a: shoveling the walk around to the garage door so I could get the snowblower out. This included whatever had accumulated from the last snowfall, because I had ignored the walk on that one. There was about 10" of dense snow on the driveway, and the snowblower got through it fine, and then I headed off to work in the worst driving conditions I've dealt with in years. (When I got home late at night, I had another few minutes of shoveling to clear the foot of the driveway enough to allow me to ram my car up from the street into the garage.)

12 pullups. At least it was something.

Didn't exercise. Long day at work. Kind of decided to just skip it.

12 pullups, 30 pushups, 60 situps, 30 squats. Legs still a bit sore.

12 pullups, 50 situps. (I think it was only 50, didn't really give it any thought until just now.) Legs sore from yesterday? Yes, very yes. No interest in squats at all, and just not motivated enough for pushups.

Haven't done one of these in a while, so after doing not much yesterday, I decided to make up for it. Temperature about 40F, and I wore O-pants, a LS shirt, and a light jacket (no gloves or hat), which was fine. Despite the overcast, it was great to be outdoors for the first part, but by the and I was getting a little tired of running on pavement, and various things were hurting. A couple of hours later and I don't feel too bad. Not very fast, but I did get some time and distance in.

The two unnamed roads are mysterious. They are not in the fire department street directory, and GoogleMaps has a name for the first one that's pretty clearly wrong (Pine St. is somewhere else). The street numbers on that one look like they must be street numbers for Page St., but it's a dead-end street with about eight houses on it. It's not new, and it's paved, but that was clearly done in sections. No street sign. The other one is unpaved, but also has about a half-dozen houses, has no street sign, and GoogleMaps shows it without a name. Even private streets ought to have names. And the first one seems like it should be Page St. Extension or something.

The town line at the end of Burrage has a nice granite post with an L on it.

I skipped Shaker Ct, Whitetail Crossing, and Canterbury Dr., but I know I'll need to run by them a couple of times in the future.
