| Flying Pig, day 1, M60. Ok run, just really really slow. Nice course though, not much in the way of steep mud. But felt like I could have run 5 minutes faster just a couple of years ago.
Knee was a little sore, but didn't seem to get any worse.

| Three times hiking up the steep trail up South Sugarloaf (8:17, 7:54, 8:20), getting tired on the last one. Back down via the road (7:13), the trail (4:00), and the road (7:07). Still some snowpack on the shaded parts of the road, but soft and good traction. Sunny, mid 40s, nice outing. |

| Taking the day off, I felt like going south a little bit to run in some snow-free woods, but wasn't up for the drive down to Trout Brook. So I talked Gail into coming along and we went to Gay City, where I ran a Green course from the first A meet on the map and Gail walked for about 40 minutes.
Not bad, not great. The knee seemed to manage it ok, just a little sore but I don't think this made it any worse. But wow was I slow, and feeble on any hill, and even going slow I still fell down half a dozen times. But it was good fun, the forest is great, beautiful day, sunny and cool. No O' mistakes to speak of, despite no compass and not wearing my usual one contact, so my reading vision wasn't great. Just had to concentrate a little more, not a bad thing. Route.
Saw Clint's flock of deer, plus one control, a remnant of some long ago meet, but no flowers other than the fake ones at the small cemetery by the parking lot.
Getting there and back was less fun. Spent about 10 minutes in a tie-up on 384 on the way down and that was the quick trip. On the way back I 91 north was closed in Holyoke due to some sort of accident, and the traffic was horrendous. Here's our route home, about an hour wasted.
The last part of the detour was to Hadley to get a good dinner at Butternuts and then to Amherst to see There Will Be Blood. First movie I've seen in a couple of years and really excellent. |
