Westerly, RI. Easy walk with Brady at Wahaneeta, after a busy afternoon of work meetings. Fairly sloppy and muddy trails.

| This branch had to be three times his size, but he wasn't giving up, and his perseverance paid off as he hauled this out of the woods. --- But no, sorry, Brady, we cannot bring your catch home in the car. It doesn't even fit. |
Tuesday: 7 run, 3 walk
Westerly, RI. Fit in seven miles (barely) before the start of my Tuesday morning voluntary CCC commitment. I told myself there would a double later that day. There wasn't. This underscores the need for me to get out early when feasible. Which I did today!
Ran from Grassland Way, Avondale Farm Preserve, on a shortened version of RWYC, in a reverse (CW) loop. Ran moderately hard, as despite a 15mph wind, averaged 6:29 pace.
One woman out walking shouted enthusiastically, "You're fast; you're really fast!". Made me smile. The woman next to her just said, "Jesus". I suppose that's a compliment also?
Wednesday: 12 run, 2 walk
Westerly, RI. Solo run from home. Forecast was for snow throughout the day, so I waited until the snow started. Unfortunately, with the temps above freezing, the roads were very wet, and the snow was pretty wet and cold as well. Warmed up after two miles or so, but really I was soaked to the skin by the time I got home.
Hopkinton, RI. Late afternoon hike with Brady in Hopkinton's Grills Wildlife Sanctuary. It wasn't all that pleasant in the now snow/sleet mix, but still good to get outside.
Thursday: 9 run, 4 hike
AM: Westerly, RI. Short 4-mile run with Brady on crunchy snow at Wahaneeta. Just ran out of time. Got to get out earlier.
Noon: Westerly, RI. 4-mile hike at Grills Preserve with Mom, Jana, and about 20 others. Warm weather: sunny and 50°.
PM: Westerly, RI. 5-mile run with Justin from Barlow Preserve, into Woody Hill, around the Woody Hill Marsh, and back through Wahaneeta. Easy conversational pace.
Friday: 0
Busy long day away from home, as we were searching for a replacement car for Jana. I didn't expect to be gone all day, thus an unplanned zero. It happens.
Saturday: 7
Stonington, CT. WTAC monthly group run. Kevin hosted this even though he was injured, and he always prepares so well for these. The course from his home into and through Barn Island was flagged, and upon return he had a Knead doughnut for everyone and fresh brewed coffee waiting inside his garage. How can you beat that?

Sunday: 15
Jamestown, RI. First run with Matthew in a couple of months. He had mapped out a CCW 14-mile loop from "Downtown" Jamestown up to the north end of the island, and back. It seemed easy enough to remember to me, because not only did it use a minimum of roads but also because it duplicated much of the Jamestown Half course which I ran last fall.
Weekly mileage: 50 run, 10 walk
Weekly synopsis: Just an alright week. Missed two days of running this week, and no focused efforts like a workout. As I mentioned last week, need to get my spring running scheduled figured out. I'm close. Marathon looking less likely now.
Weekly highlight: Jamestown 15-miler on Sunday.
Weekly lowlight: Procrastination and lack of planning.
