Walked up to the top of North Sugarloaf, jogged down. Good outing, seemed to tolerate it OK.

From the gate at the start of the jeep road up Mt. Toby. Much less of a struggle today. May have something to do with the fact that I walked for quite a while before I even considered running, and then ran nothing that was even slightly uphill. Certainly more pleasant.

Pine Nook Road to the end of the short paved section, and back. Lots of walking. But this is still getting some running in, and it is much more tolerable than just running.

With Gail up along the river and back. Nice day!

For the second time the 245 had a meltdown, though I suppose not as bad a meltdown as the previous time, because I got up over 30,000 feet that time and only up to about 7,800 this time.

And while it shows us crossing the river and bushwhacking our way back south, I'm pretty sure we came back the way we went out. And the bikes aren't wet.

First ride in quite a while, not so bad, but feeling like a nap afterwards. Beautiful day, sunny, 60s, S 5 mph.

Pound Ridge, Brown course, 3.5 km.

A wonderful day. Rendezvous at Pound Ridge with George and Lyn, Clint, Charlie, Phil, and JJ, plus Ching-Hua and Matt up from the city. Good hangout time before, even better afterwards, as Charlie had brought cupcakes to celebrate G&L's 50th wedding anniversary. Thinking back afterwards, what was different was almost no staring at the maps, talking about the orienteering. Much more about how life was.

And it seemed that for the most part life is not so bad.

And then home via Litchfield, a visit with Lina and Angelo (they took care of my mom for a long time). Charlie came along too, which was great. We all had had out shots, so for the first time in a year I went in someone's house. We sat at the big table in the kitchen, catching up, telling stories, just pure joy. I'd had the idea of going there on the way down to Pound Ridge, not sure, mentioned it to Charlie, he was in, texted Lina, and not much later we were there. Need to remember that, a good idea is only a good idea if you act on it.

As for the orienteering, it was excellent. No significant brain lapses. Very tired, but that's the new normal. And my right heel (where the Achilles attaches), which I seemed to have injured in my sleep Thursday night and must have iced a dozen times since then, seemed not just to survive the outing but actually get better. Hopefully it is just another of those ailments that have cropped up over the years, appear out of nowhere, stay for two or three days, and just as mysteriously disappear. I'd given serious thought to passing on the trip to Pound Ridge, but am so glad I didn't.

One more event in the HVO/WCOC series that is still available, Datar Mountain (Harriman). Farther to drive, but perhaps this coming weekend. And maybe carpooling is possible.

Clint's new map of Coop Sawmill, just east of Hartford. Green Course, 5.0 km.

Nice outing. Best part was having Clint and Charlie and JJ/Nancy all show up at the same time, so good socializing both before and after. And got around the Green course reasonably well. I'm certainly not used to an hour's effort and there was lots of walking, but I managed to do little bits of running in the last mostly uphill 25 minutes. My orienteering was fine, as was Clint's map. The terrain is straightforward for the most part, but it a joy to orienteer in because there is almost no jungle.

A couple of serious snow squalls on the drive home, also some fierce winds, but made it home with no adventures. Which, when I'm driving, is a good thing.

Note

So a year ago was more or less the start of the lockdown for Covid. I saw something that suggested looking back at photos you might have taken then, the last time life was normal.

Found the following --



Julia, heading back to California as Amherst Colege was closing down, wasn't sure if there would be a Billygoat. If there was, her trophy needed to be there, so I went by and picked it up. Life was very quickly becoming very far from normal.

She is still in California. The Billygoat trophy is still in our house. We are still far from normal. But maybe moving in the right direction.

Hemenway Road (dirt). As easy as I could.

This running seems so hard. Reminds of many times over the years when I'd take a month or two off to let some ailment heal. Starting back up, it seemed like it took about three weeks of runs before there was one that I enjoyed, where there seemed some life in my legs. Would be nice to think that I might enjoy a run again, though perhaps that is being too optimistic.

OK this time, seemed like the right amount of effort. Got up the hills with some effort, but not too much. Felt at the end like I could have gone farther, but of course I had just finished a downhill. And the plan, unusual as it may be for Attackpoint, is to stop before something starts hurting. :-)

Not much reaction from the second vaccine shot, just a sore arm. I think a (temporary) bad reaction is more common with the second Moderna shot?
