Was going to run at Wolf Den on my way to RI to grab Jackson, couldn't find a map, but came across GWWMA so went there instead since I've never actually been. This was mostly trail running with a map, albeit a 33 year old map. Some new trails not on map, but surprisingly solid for its age. Not accustomed to 1:15000 anymore, but it is what it is. I've heard horrors about this map & veg, but where I went it didn't seem to bad. Certainly not pristine white woods, but certainly not as trashy as I been led to believe. And I got out...

AOWN - As I was going over a fallen tree by a small stream, my foot came down about a foot and half away from a small (volleyball sized) porcupine having a drink from the stream. I stopped and we chatted for a few - he just sat there and watched me carefully but made no move to scurry away - perhaps because I was so close.. I've seen my share of porcupines in the woods, but never at quite this intimate range..

I really need to get some exercise...

New plan - skip out of work early, stop by Case and/or Porter to run in daylight on my way to East Hartford to fetch Anna. Had all my running gear... except shoes... doh!!... Ran in boots, quite a stylish look. Kept it to one loop up to Lookout Mtn and back on carriage road. Quite a lot of water in some spots, mud was earned.. Got out though.. Hope to make it a regular thing..
