hiking 1:47:50 [1] 6.92 km (15:36 / km) +109m 14:27 / km
shoes: Saucony Guide 8 Powergrid
Midstate Trail, East Hill Rd. to Browning Pond Rd. just short of Rte. 31, with Nancy. Back at this after a little over two years, apparently. Quite a few bugs, most seeming to be some kind of gnats that just hovered in a cloud around our heads, plus some mosquitoes, and a few FDFs. Nancy wore a bunch of repellent, but they still went after her enthusiastically when she was in front; it got better when I led. Two landmarks on this route, the first being the halfway point of the trail, which was just about 100 m from where we started which means that I had essentially already done the north half (save for one tiny bit up at the NH border). The other was Sampson's Pebble, a notable boulder which would have been an interesting and challenging (and hazardous) climb, if I had brought proper footwear.
pedaling (city bike) 15:48 [3] 5.25 km (3:01 / km) +94m 2:46 / km
Back to fetch the car on the Schwinn MTB with road tires, which I had tossed into the weeds at the end of our hike while driving to the starting point. No helmet, no brakes, no big deal.

exercises 10 [5]
10 ring pullups.
The auction people are coming Thursday to take most of the remaining stuff from Mom's house. I was pleased to learn that they'll take the Nazi memorabilia that Dad brought back at the end of the war, because we didn't know what to do with it. We decided that we might as well let Dad's WWII army uniform go to a collector as well, because neither of us has any use for it (we're keeping his decorations, of course). But as relates to physical training, I guess I decided to have them also take Dad's barbell set. It's unlikely that I'd decide to work out with free weights at home (I did a tiny bit when I was in high school, to no particular effect), and maybe they'd be of interest to a collector, since I have the original box and instructions.
