With Peter Andersen just east of BBSP. Met at Podunk pkng lot but gates to interior of pk closed & walk on USGS started some dist away so drove to South Rd & used area to east. Had about 10 pts, went to 6. Fun stuff, always a surprise w/ outdtd USGS map - many, many logging trails/rds, some pretty ponds/marshes. We were off by some 200m at one time (streamers on surveyed/mapped town border was tip) & it was quite awhile before we figured out what had happened. Also usual passing right by houses & barns, 3 dogs, no interactions. Good rogaine practice for me, nice to have company. When I got home Beth presented me with a painted turtle she'd saved on Rt 101...lucky she didn't get killled...

XC SPS lap plus one mi on track w/ Diane who is running a race at 0830 & then at 1100 tomorrow & another Sun. Go easy, twinges in thigh, hypochondriasis or otherwise. Less than wk to CH R&R.

jogged CH Rock & Race 5k course w/ D&D, that's a help. Ran by our gud fer nuttin guvener - guy I like to dislike - on Main St. Still no prob w/ running tho can't sleep on left side due to aching.

2 SPS XC laps, 70 deg, ovcst, no water bottle...bothersome due to forgetfulness.

Sl twinge inside lt thigh on second, made me wonder should I stop - but OK. Bit hypochondrical but better than being injured for a month or two.
BTDT so should benefit fm experience. Pleased w/ sub-15's, esp 14:27 w/o much effort, so different fm prior yrs.

run @ noon w/ Diane - amounts to a second rest day, occ rt thigh throbbing but not when I run

w/ Diane, cut across some dandalion-speckled fields into green woods before another field. Not Diane's cup of tea. Take-it-easy day. Right thigh sore (occ aching throb) undoubtedly fm yesterday's run as well as too much mileage for MSK system. Need to be careful or I'll end up on the rocks.

Home fm NHH, not since 4/28 which was a surprise. Felt so so but loosened up, thought a 57 was in order & it was. First left mtp has gone off radar, hard stub @ WP was issue, just running it gets by.

AM mapping, black flies if standing still. Peasley Hill area, quiet Sun am.
Found a nice stone wall, looked up alot to see if conifers were the distinctive veg seen by Pat 20 yrs ago, usually so.

PM run sans dogs, mostly hardtop...felt sluggish at start, got better, good views on Wood Hill. For some reason, felt tired most of weekend. Took Branch Londonderry Tkpe off BBR, been a few yrs, still 'unspoiled' tho' when I see streamers & survey markers I wonder as well as become aggravated.
