Later today DL and I are driving out to North Reading for dinner, and then navigating to Plymouth for an overnight stay and a lunch on Thursday.  Something we are looking forward to, and a nice trip to catch two family members on our circuit.

This morning, I met up with Wuzzam to run the Simon's Skyline Loop for the 1st time this season.  It was wet, but not as bad as I thought it would be.  Between Skyline and Minnechoag there has been even more logging, and the route is easy to follow but I suspect it exist a bit lower on the ridge than it once did.  I can compare tracks at some point.

We completed the 7.7-miles (7.8 today as we swayed a bit here and there) in roughly 2:10.  That is the same time we ran on last years first attempt.  It was really good to complete the loop, all the climbs, and see the sun actually come out for most of it.
