Did a quick series of 4 geocaches (3 regular, 1 micro - found all without problem) with the boys up on the hill at Crandalls. Lovely, bright crisp morning, Hayden's 7th birthday....

CW loop around Shafran, did the dog leg to the parking area on Eaton, also the loop around the pond. A little bit of ice remains and quite a few soft muddy areas, but overall a nice run at a brisk pace..

AOWN - chased a small herd of whitetails for bit, otherwise quiet in the woods. Very damp, but not raining too much - good training for Ohio in other words...

Easy warmup, cooldown on the roads.

Brisk walk home after my physical with new doctor (previous doctor semi-retired). Last physical was probably 10 years ago now, though I see the cardiologist annually. Anyway, he says I'm in fine shape, couldn't believe I had an angioplasty 8 years ago. It doesn't seem that long ago.

Got to talking orienteering and turns out he's the scoutmaster for one of the Boy Scout troops in town and a number of his scouts really enjoy orienteering on the Webster Scout Reservation. I told him that I was the one that made that map and that there was also a new map right here in Tolland (less than a km from his office).

I suspect we'll see some of the boy scouts at the meet in June and I'll probably volunteer to be an O merit badge counselor. Maybe it will get a few new people interested, who knows?

Totally guessing on my time (no watch) but estimated based upon when I got home

C • Scouts are coming . . . 2

Started out to just do Hare and back, but the weather was nice (shorts) and the legs felt looser than yesterday, so after Hare I just kept going to repeat yesterday's loop. Strong on hills, downhills felt good but didn't push too hard. Good effort.

Still a lot of chest glarp and the sinuses are still pretty much impenetrable. Good thing I'm a mouth breather...
