Training Log Archive: Ari-o

So running was tough, because it was hot. Every day hot. 70s early, then 80s, but dewpoints in the 70s, so 90s. Not a running kind of place.

Alas, we still went to try to run, on a nearby trail. It was hilly! The trail was nice. We went to a beach and then back.

I drank a liter of water and got back dehydrated, chafing and sweaty.

C • Magens Bay 2

The house had glass-bottomed kayaks (not much to see locally other than the sea turtle, which was cool) so we went across the bay. It was windy, and the paddling was very rough on what someone called a "divorce boat."

Which it was until I realized I could push my seat back a couple of feet and would no longer be right next to Mel trying to paddle and steer. Also the boats had long since lost their skegs so they had no means to go straight and were basically impossible to steer. But with us a few feet apart, at least I could try.

We also scoped out a big yacht that rents for $180,000 per week.

Mel's ankle was pretty swollen but we said "let's see how far up Passaconaway we can get."

Answer: all the way up, and then down via the Walden Trail, plus some running on the way down. Weather ranged from sunny to graupel showers. Trail was mostly dry.

Lazy day, eventual evening run on the Hall's Ledge-Hutmen's loop. Felt pretty good except for feeling a bit crampy up top. And taking the Orchard Trail when I didn't mean to. The run down the Hutmen's Trail was nicer without being covered in loose leaves.

"Trail Run" thanks Attackpoint that's kind I guess we did run a bit at the end.

Type 2 adventure over the Westside Trail. Ammy was wet and then snowy up to Lakes, good hiking on the snowy bits. The Crawford Path and Westside and Gulfside were snowy in places and except for the steep snowfields fine, not too cold or windy. One stray snow shower came through and a bit of sun. Caps Ridge was very slow with some snow and the ankle (see below), but the run down the road was nice.

I smashed my ankle into a rock on the Westside and it bled a bit and hurt some but seems fine. MPG < 2 which is good.

Moats were dry and pretty runnable. Cloudy, but not wet, which was nice, because it meant we didn't get baked. Perfect temperature for being out, not too sweaty, not too cold. Not too many people, either.
