Wonderful day.
WCOC local meet at Pond Mountain in Kent. Really enjoyable, excellent terrain, excellent, map, excellent course by George and Lyn. Red course, 6.6 km, about 300m climb (so not flat). Had a pretty good run, just a couple of minutes lost at most, and slowly getting in better shape. Still walked up a lot of hills, but ran some too, nice to be under 10 min/km. And the woods are just gorgeous.
If they had terrain like this around Boston they'd just pee in their pants out of delight, no matter whether the map was superb or piss poor.... :-)
Well, I guess they have Pawtuckaway, not that far away. And I actually really enjoy Nobscot, has the scouts to keep the nasty vegetation beaten down.
Had company down and back with Steve Richardson, very enjoyable, also good to see him orienteer well despite spraining an ankle early on. Then a brief stop in Litchfield to take care of payroll, plus a stop in Northampton to get a flu shot.
And while the left shoulder still seems to be getting worse, I think the right one is a little better, can lift that arm up without too much discomfort. Left one is another matter. No falls today but one stumble when I clipped a log, and that sent a shot of pain through the shoulder. And it doesn't seem to like most any kind of movement. Don't know where this is going to end up.
