Training Log: bl

I expected some reasonable conditions given sufficient snow base and recent OK enough weather - got crust, even ice, a few lumpy, hard stretches where people had walked and a biting NW wind at times. Memorial Field was not up to it today, neither was I. Skate didn't work, classic would have somewhat.

Covid days for Beth & I. Who would have guessed that we'd come in contact with it where we did, 9 days ago now. Anyway, mostly cold symptoms as well as fatigue, Beth more so. I haven't had even so much as a cold in years. We went to Utah in October and admittedly didn't wear masks on the plane or at the airport coming or going - why? Hmm. Yet, a 25ish person dinner party in a private home in Maine did the trick.

End of a warm day. Map/walk not even shown due to "map accessibility" & shortness of the walk - need to investigate the techie ropes to delete this, for me, unhelpful fxn. that came out of nowhere. W met a friend or two. I've gotten to like White the most of the Concord city parks.

I too often hem & haw about where to go. Today several choices but also limited by still deep snow, factoring DP (dog pacification) limits re any groomed nordic options. Went to BHS on a deserted Sunday & chose snow shoes. T around 40, some rain drops at the end. Passed by two Evans sights - the first confusing given dates and the vulnerability of the two wooden crosses, snow cover no elucidation. The second, a grave for a young woman's death in 1861 from 'consumption'.

Out the back on snow shoes. Nice January day - hummocky in the swamp. Climbed up, looked for a place to sit down but everything was covered with snow. Finally sat on it on a slope, got up ok enough.

DP after returning fm VT. Didn't think I'd get even as far as I did but trail had maybe 3"new on top of snow mobile packed snow. Walked 3/4 mi but didn't bother to start gps til halfway.
