Hiking 1:48:41 [3] 6.01 mi (18:05 / mi) +500ft 16:46 / mi
Hike with Colette in October Mountain State Forest, starting near Felton Lake. We did an out-and-back on the dirt road that leads to an overlook with a view of Mt. Greylock. A bit of vehicular traffic today, from 6 ATVs to a Jeep, a SUV and a four-wheel truck. No animals were spotted, nor any other hikers.

Walking 1:39:21 [3] 6.0 mi (16:34 / mi) +650ft 15:01 / mi
Walk with Colette out and back on Jerusalem Road in Tyringham. Almost no traffic today, I wonder why?
As we passed by some old Shaker building, we were a bit bemused to see that a bunch of people were outside enjoying a barbeque. Nevermind that there was a real feel temperature of 26°F thanks to a strong, biting wind.

Hiking 1:24:40 [3] 4.5 mi (18:49 / mi) +425ft 17:16 / mi
Hike on the bike trails to the south of Reservoir Road in Lenox.
Didn't have much zip for this hike and found myself feeling tired and slow right from the beginnning. So I just kept going and tried to enjoy the warm day.

Note
Day off since I'm a bit tired and just too busy to find the time also.
Sunday Nov 24, 2019 #
Hiking 1:17:57 [3] 5.1 mi (15:17 / mi) +185ft 14:47 / mi
Not a day that enticed me to go out--it had been raining all night and was still raining when I finally bit the bullet and decided to get off my duff and head out.
Drove to Woods Pond and hiked out-and-back on Woodland Road for three miles. At that point the rain had switched over to snow as the temperature had dropped six degrees. Myhands weren't happy, so I ran the final 1.1 miles back to my car.

Had to go to Pittsfield, so I decided to head to The Boulders for some exercise. Started by walking three-quarters of a mile, then ran for 2.5 miles, and ended with another three-quarters of a mile walking.

Hiking (and running) 1:30:08 [3] 5.5 mi (16:23 / mi) +620ft 14:48 / mi
Hike/run in Case Mountain Park in Glastonbury, Connecticut, on the bike trails and dirt roads. Very nice area with minimal rocks, although the small section of the Shenipsit Trail that I was on had plenty of them.
Hiked for three miles and then ran for two and half miles. It was raining fairly steadilly when I started and was close to ending as I finished.
I only saw a small part of the park, so it's on my list of places to revisit at some time down the road.

Walking 28:45 [3] 1.75 mi (16:26 / mi) +10ft 16:21 / mi
Had to visit the Genius Bar at the mall in Holyoke and while I was waiting for them to reinstall the OS for my Macbook Pro, I walked around the perimeter of the Holyoke Mall. Totally boring, of course, not to mention ugly.

Walking (and running) 1:24:20 [3] 6.04 mi (13:58 / mi) +360ft 13:13 / mi
Counterclockwise loop from home out to Woods Pond, into Lenox Dale, and over Golden Hill before heading to the condo.
I walked the first mile and a half and then decided to run a little bit. I ended up running two and half miles and then walked the remainder.
Light snow was falling, but it was slightly above freezing, so it was rather pleasant.

Hiking 1:25:40 [3] 5.11 mi (16:46 / mi) +380ft 15:40 / mi
Hike from Bard College out to Kidd Road in Tivoli on trails. The overnight rains made for some wet, slippery areas, but most of those could be avoided, or minimized.

Hiking (and running) 1:15:35 [3] 5.05 mi (14:58 / mi) +695ft 13:15 / mi
Mix of hiking and running on the trails in Kennedy Park. Started with a one-mile walk and than ran a mile. I continued to do that until the five miles were done.
Somewhat depressing to realize that even with two miles of running involved, that the pace per mile for the five miles is slower than I used to achieve when I only walked. C'est la vie.

Walking 1:38:08 [3] 5.74 mi (17:06 / mi) +350ft 16:10 / mi
Walk with Colette from Bard College over to Tivoli, the town, and back. Fairly breezy and chilly in some spots, but otherwise a nice, sunny day.
And then a trip to Holy Cow! in Red Hook for some FroYo.

Hiking 1:29:22 [3] 5.05 mi (17:42 / mi) +720ft 15:35 / mi
Hike in Kennedy Park. A light snowfall left about 1/2" on the trails, which were also icy in spots, and the oak leaves added another layer of slipperyness, too. I was glad I wore my carbide-studded Inov 8 Artic Claws for decent traction.

Went a little further than yesterday, just to see how it felt. Felt fine, but I was sweating a little.

And then another half mile of walking to cool down.
Monday Nov 11, 2019 #

Hiking 1:41:28 [3] 6.27 mi (16:11 / mi) +380ft 15:18 / mi
Out-and-back hike with Colette along Goose Pond Road in Tyringham, a very low traffic dirt road in great shape.
We were both lamenting that we should have worn warmer gloves, but otherwise were appropriately dressed for the mid-30s temperatures.

Walking 35:16 [3] 2.01 mi (17:33 / mi) +140ft 16:27 / mi
Walk with Colette out to the black cows and back. First time wearing a 10# vest while walking; certainly gets the heart working on the uphills.
2 PM
Hiking 2:02:07 [3] 5.09 mi (23:59 / mi) +545ft 21:47 / mi
Hike from Bard College into Tivoli Bays and then looping back via the trails close to the bays. The leaves and some mud made for difficult footing today.
Met a couple of hunters, one of whom had bagged a pheasant.

Hiking 1:09:16 [3] 3.43 mi (20:12 / mi) +315ft 18:35 / mi
Back to Montgomery Place in Annandale for some hiking. Just wandered around the property, stopped to pick some apples and stopped also to pick up a bunch of Hickory nuts.
Sunday Nov 3, 2019 #
Hiking 1:49:53 [3] 4.5 mi (24:25 / mi) +645ft 21:30 / mi
Hike from Mohawk Lake in Glendale, following the old railroad line out toward Route 41. And then on the way back, I did lot of bushwhacking to climb up to the high point before dropping back to Mohawk Lake.
Love the folding in this cliff face--lots of stress in that rock.
Remnant of a bore hole for dynamite that was used to blast out the rock to create the rail bed.
Saturday Nov 2, 2019 #
Hiking 1:45:00 [3] 4.8 mi (21:52 / mi) +1280ft 17:28 / mi
Hike in Pittsfield State Forest from the Lulu parking lot. Up the Turner Trail and down via the Berry Circuit Road.
No good GPS track, so no route to post.
Friday Nov 1, 2019 #
