Easy run on the Peck Lane loop....legs tired and not happy today .... knees sore and tight...back seems ok.... now off to yard work.... Husky on strike.... says she will only dig holes in garden....

Ran the Billy Goat at Moreau S.P. near Fort Edward N.Y. this was the second goat for me... the first one was a bad event for me... it took five hours.... this time I was in a little better shape...Charlie was kind enough to let me tag along with him..... this helped alot... I was able to see what he was thinking on each leg....and to have a safety net....we goofed on 18 and 19 coming in to high and had to climb down through alot rocks....cost some time....I fell down about three time and by the end my back was acting up again but the last controls were on trails and flat.... I am so happy I did this event and got a shirt.....I need to do alot more work both to be able to run faster in the woods and at my nav. skill.... I was dead tired at the end... the wind was fine but legs had, had enough... thought my back would be killing me on the drive home.... took Vit. I and it was fine.... but my left knee got back in the act... and was killing me for the last hr...had to stop and get out of the car and walk around for a few minutes a few times.... But it was a great weekend..... Thanks for letting me hang with you Charlie....

On the way up to Lake George got some good pictures of Hudson River and F&I sites for my program for the Ct. N.G. .... at night was able to join George, Charlie, Peter and Gail for dinner... Peter found a good Turkish/Greek place that turned out to be very good.... Good food and good company.... and was able be try some new food that I have not had before.... Thanks guys

Ran the speedy goat at Peebles S.P. in Waterford N.Y. did ok on the first leg... but spent to much time folding and unfolding the map and playing with the compass....had the feel for the area on the second leg.... less folding and no compass just read the map and ran....this run was the best sprint that I have done so far....so it was a good work out... back came through ok....
