To change things up and run a bit faster in the Fells, I ran the Orange-blazed Reservoir Trail, with a bonus loop around the southern reservoir at the end. It's a much easier trail than the Skyline - naturally - and it could work well for faster efforts and change of pace. In some areas, the Skyline and Reservoir trail intersect. I'm not familiar with the trail, so I lost it in a few places.

I tweaked my back during softball, so standing up normally and without discomfort is difficult. It feels minor - perhaps a muscle strain, so I expect to be back at it shortly.

It looks like plane tickets to Portugal during the February 5-9 2016 Portugal O-meeting are about $600 (from Boston, anyway). Intriguing.

Softball, won the game 17-11. I went 3-3 at bat with three singles, but I only scored once. I alternated between catcher and outfield. Once when I was on base at first, the batter hit what could have been a triple, but I slipped and fell while rounding third. Fail.

My stats: AVG: 0.538, SLG: 0.615. I'm 10/17 among people who have played at least one game on AVG - mean = 0.52, std = 0.12, best = 0.70. My slugging (expected number of bases gained per at bat) is comparatively weak - well below the average of 0.792, stdev = 0.327. I basically hit only singles.
