1/19 - 9 miles on quiet, snowy dirt roads in Barnet Center.
1/20 - 7 miles of same in North Danville. Shoveled my parents' roof.
1/21 - 8 miles on McLaren & Somers Hill Roads in West Barnet.
1/22 - 8.5 miles snowshoeing on the Rattle River Trail (AT) in the White Mtns. Getting colder...
1/23 - Cold. We're taking the day off! Went out for a nice breakfast in Gorham.
1/24 - Minus 20 this morning. Waited until it "warmed up" to minus 4 before setting out on a 7-mile loop in Danville - down a dirt road, through a covered bridge, and back on hardpacked snowmobile trails. Beautiful, crystal clear views of the Whites ~40 miles away - Moosilauke, Franconia Ridge & Twin Range, all the way up to the Presidentials. Haven't been in temps this cold since Denali '08 & haven't run with a face mask in, oh... about 10 years. Nuts!
Just saw your schedule. Coyote 2 Moon sounds like a beautiful, but very tough course (and something in the back of my head keeps whispering "Hardrock... someday, you want to do Hardrock"). I just might see you at the Black Hills!
ReplyDeleteAfter reading your doing the NH 4's in 5 days, I wondered what the equivalent would be here: the 13 MN 2000s. Except maybe for one, they might all be possible in one day.
Steve, you DO want to do Hardrock!! :) It is my favorite event out there. That's really cool about the MN 2000'ers, seriously. Sounds like a neat goal to me!
ReplyDeleteHow long are you in VT? Would love to run!
ReplyDeleteOMG, Aliza... if only I could keep up! Thanks, you're sweet. I am here another week but am pretty tied up each day. Am planning on the VT 50 this fall though. Stay warm over there!
ReplyDeleteI was going to say the same thing as Aliza! But I see you are busy. Have a great time, and enjoy this warm spell, eh!
ReplyDeleteCrazy girl....don't you remember "why" you moved??? I ain't going back there....;-)
