| Went for a run, walk, jog on the trail out back, up to the powerline. Slow, slow, slow, though not unexpected, one can always hope. All pains still there. The town has graded and put traprock down in the eroded areas. I need and prefer a softer surface. Light rain, but mostly just hearing it in the trees. |

| Hike up Toby, light to medium rain which eventually killed my watch--boo! So maybe 36 up and 32 down. Slowed by being allergic to something, lots of coughing going up. |

| Mt. Toby--33:53 up, 30:07 down. Sounds of thunder all the way up and getting darker, making me worried. At the top I asked a couple up on the firetower how close the storms were. They said, "over UMASS," not bad, but still closer than I'd like. But no thunder on the way down. Peter said the radar showed the storm disapating there. Right foot worse than normal. |

| Toby--37:15 up, 30:30 down. I think I'm getting better until I have a day like today when everything hurts. The one highlight--while sitting partway up the firetower retying my shoes, a hummingbird came up face to face. It must have hoped I was one big flower. Tired and sore enough to take a cart for 18 holes of golf after. |

| 35:01 up and 30:07 down Toby. Saw a Barred Owl and a couple of hikers with dogs. The owl landed in a tree that was right next to the trail--nice. Hip a little more irritated probably from walking for a couple of hours on the golf course yesterday, and a later walk with a friend. |

| Toby via Robert Frost and telephone line tr. 35:45up, 29:01 down. Moved faster for the first half of the up, which meant I was tired for the steeper part. About 10 min. from the end, I got the aura for a migraine. No meds. with me and none at the car, but jogged down to try to get back sooner. Hope it isn't too bad. |

| 3.5 hrs. walking on the golf course with Peter. Not so good golf by me, but a nice day for a change. Back home a deer strolled by at the end of parking area, shortly followed by a very small fawn. The fawn tore around, coming back to be licked by mom--fun to watch. |

| A better trip up Toby, less pain. This time via Robert Frost and telephone line trails. 37:07up, 31:40 down. Cool and windy, but no rain. Met another couple debating the merits of continuing up, told them about the fire tower and how close they were, so I think they were going to go on. |

| Don't know how much my increased soreness is due to the increase in stretching, but I'll continue since that should get better soon. |

| Up and down Toby, this time via the jeep rd. I don't like it as much (takes too much time when walking), but almost every step on the telephone tr. would have meant brushing against something wet. Foot and left hip worse than they have been in awhile. 53:10up, 50:12 down. |
