Day #11 – Hawks and Wild Turkeys
Today I decided not to drive anywhere to run and just hit the trails near my folks house. Some of the trails were snowmobile trails (obviously not used much lately) and some were animal trails (which were tougher going but let me find a really cool beaver dam pond/swamp area.) I disturbed some wild turkeys, [...]

Day #10 – (Almost) Lake Running
The plan was for a lake run this morning, and I started out on the pond. One of my mother’s neighbors got my attention and sent me down the ice to investigate some brush around where he said there’s been a snowmobile sitting for the last 3 weeks. He couldn’t see behind the brush with [...]

Day #9 – Alone at the Back Cove
This morning I got up and drove into town for a 5:30 run with a few friends, but nobody was there. So, either plans changed (and I never told them I’d be there so I wasn’t in the loop) or they were in a different parking lot. I checked 2 of them (twice) but didn’t [...]

Day #8 – Reach the Beacon Begins
The Reach the Beacon training group began today. Before the run I got out for a quick couple of miles, and then we had orientation although I took the alumni out that didn’t want to stay for orientation for a run around the Back Cove to the East End beach and Back Bay trails. 8.42 [...]

Day #7 – Barefoot on the Beach
I made a big mistake today. I showed up 30 minutes late for my run. The plan was to meet at Pine Point in Scarborough and to run along the beach to Old Orchard Beach. My friends wanted 8 miles, I obviously wanted to run 7. Temperatures were around 45 degrees with low tide at [...]

Day #6 – Running with Trail Monsters
Today I got out for a run with the Trail Monsters at Pratt’s Brook Park. Very slick conditions, especially near the parking lot, but with IceSpikes I wasn’t slipping at all and we all managed to stay upright. Now that I work from home and can run in the middle of the day, I haven’t [...]

Day #5 – Breaking Down the Miles
With warm temperatures in the 30s and 40s coming this week, I wanted to get out on the trails while they were still runnable. Got a great 5+ mile run in on the local snowmobile trails and only broke through ice 3 times, never going more than ankle deep. Of course, having gone ankle deep, [...]

Day #4 – Snowshoe Racing at Bradbury Mountain
Today I got my running in while volunteering for the last of the 3 snowshoe races at Bradbury Mountain – and by volunteering, I mean I just took pictures. I was supposed to warn off snowmobiles that there’d be runners on the trails, but none came by and there was a park ranger there to [...]

Day #3 – Flooded Driveways
Mixed things up today and ran before I shoveled the driveway! We got some overnight snow but it rained all morning, turning my driveway into a couple inches of flooded slush. I decided to run before getting my feet soaked, and then cleared some channels at the edge of the driveway and pushed the slush [...]

Day #02 – Hanging Out With the Ducks
A beautiful morning today after yesterday’s snowstorm which lasted into the night. I never did get out for a second run yesterday as the group run I coach on Thursday nights in Portland got cancelled. I did spend another half of an hour shoveling the driveway, which I repeated again this morning before heading out [...]
